July 8-10, 2024
Wake Forest University
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
The Character Across the Curriculum workshop aims to equip faculty to:
- identify clear and measurable character-related learning outcomes,
- design engaging learning activities and assignments that promote students’ growth toward those outcomes,
- develop effective and ethically sound assessments of learning activities’ efficacy in promoting such growth, and
- integrate these outcomes, activities, and assessments into existing or new syllabuses in ways that are appropriate for, and in service of, the disciplinary goals of the course.
The workshop will be led collaboratively by members of the Program for Leadership and Character with expertise in character theory and development, course design, and character assessment and measurement among undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Session participants will include twenty members of the Wake Forest faculty, as well as 12 invited faculty from the ECI Community. ECI participants will have all expenses paid for travel to and participation in the event.
Detailed information is available in our call for ECI participants and on our workshop website. If you are interested in joining us as a guest of the Educating Character Initiative, we ask that you submit a brief application by May 1 in our workshop portal.
