Faculty Development Grant

from the Bush Foundation

Nov 2002 - Nov 2005

Augustana College
Sioux Falls, SD

Faculty Development Grant Proposal

2. Teaching and learning (pedagogy)

2a. Projects exploring nontraditional student learning experiences

Program Strategy

2a. Across the life of this project, the college will generate 2-3 projects exploring nontraditional student learning experiences, upward mobility programs in specific professions, e.g., nursing, or projects exploring the learning implications of expanding the college's work with nontraditional and older-than-average students.

Evaluation Activities

These projects will need to include (develop) evaluative measures of student learning for nontraditional students. These measures will likely include pre-test and other baseline steps, measurements of progress across academic programs, and completion rate.

Specific Intended Outcomes

This goal will have been met when:

1. The College has established two to three departmentally based programs supporting non-traditional students.

2. The College has put in place pedagogies and support mechanisms that will enhance nontraditional student learning.
