Pre-Institute Workshop: Learning
Outcomes for a Multicultural World
This workshop will engage participants in identifying learning
outcomes that are emphasized by diversity/multicultural education and
internationalization initiatives on campus. Participants will be guided
in mapping the outcomes shared by these areas across curricular and
co-curricular learning opportunities at their respective institutions to
identify potential areas for enhanced synergy and collaboration.
Participants also will share the assessment practices currently in use
at their institution and discuss ways in which they might be adapted to
demonstrate student achievement of these learning outcomes.

Plenary Session #4: Synergistic Curricular Models
Although structures, policies, and practices lay the foundation for
effective change, transformation of the curriculum is the "heart of the
matter"—that is, the curriculum is the primary vehicle for the
communication of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes or predispositions
that institutions seek to inculcate in their students. This panel will
feature curricular models that embody in their learning outcomes,
design, pedagogy, and delivery the kind of complementary and synergistic
thinking afforded by collaboration between multicultural and
international educators.
