By the end of the program, participants will be equipped to confidently advise, mentor, and refer students to appropriate resources. Sessions are conducted live online via Microsoft Teams and are also recorded for later viewing. Participants can earn credit by engaging with the live or recording sessions.

The FOCUS Academy is designed to provide support and structure for faculty working together in professional learning communities. The Academy provides in-depth training on andragogy, contextualized in the teaching and learning environment. For a period of one semester, participants are immersed in an interactive classroom environment to include active learning strategies and technologies around which they enhance their courses based on the principles and techniques they have learned. The delivery of these strategies creates an embedded form of professional development that can be observed by academy participants. The faculty member and his/her peers then engage in reflective dialogue on student learning and corresponding teaching practices. This process creates a community of reflective practitioners who are committed to embracing modern theories of learning to create an engaging classroom experience for all students. COMMON INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK (CIF) The CIF is an approach to teaching and learning that incorporates six powerful student engagement strategies that require the students to take an active role in their own education.

We all think we know what feedback is: a grade, a comment, a suggestion for next time. Often, it serves as a justification for a grade. But with so many students, how much meaningful and substantive feedback can you really provide, not just to help them perform better, but actually learn? What if feedback encompassed a broader definition—one that fosters deeper thinking, meaningful dialogue, and critical reasoning skills across disciplines? If you're looking to enhance student engagement, rethink the role of AI in learning, or streamline feedback in your own workflow, this session will provide both practical strategies and big questions to explore—because if you give a student a grade, they'll know how they did and maybe why. If you teach them how to elicit, engage with, and evaluate feedback, they will learn for a lifetime.
