Course Description

Initi8 is an intensive, five-day IN-PERSON workshop co-hosted by the Center for Assessment and Research Studies (CARS) and Ethical Reasoning in Action (ERiA). Attendees will learn how to integrate content knowledge/skills in ethical reasoning with pedagogy, assessment and faculty development to create an improvement plan. The process can be adapted to any knowledge or skill area. The workshop is hands-on and collaborative.

Over the course of five days, participants will develop a detailed learning improvement plan for an ethical reasoning intervention tailored to their own program. Along the way, participants will learn:

· Effective strategies for teaching ethical reasoning skills

· Methods for assessing ethical reasoning skills

· Strategies for implementing a program level ethical reasoning intervention

· A general framework for implementing any learning improvement project

This workshop is designed for individuals looking to improve learning at scale OR teams of 4-6 who can jointly contribute to a program-level project. $2,000 per team member includes: a pre-conference interview; the 5-day workshop; breakfast and lunch each day; a post-workshop plan analysis; and use of the Ethical Reasoning rubric within designated program.
