SAVE THE DATE: January 21st, 3:30 - 5:00! OGC 100
Introduction to High Engagement Pedagogy (WICOR)
Since 2009, Augsburg College has partnered with AVID (which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination) to support student success and provide students with tools and resources to assume responsibility for their own learning. The requisite skills for success fall under broad categories known as WICOR skills: Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading. This session will introduce easy-to-adopt high engagement WICOR strategies for use both in class and in preparation for class. Faculty who currently use AVID strategies will attest to the fact that these approaches are not 'add-ons' or one more thing to cram into an already packed syllabus, but effective ways to engage students in course content, discussions, and activities.
This session will introduce a handful of ideas/strategies (in response to particular needs), give you an opportunity to share your own best practices, and offer resources for ongoing support.

Bush Grant Supports Diversity in Teaching
Augsburg College's Department of Education was recently awarded a $150,000 grant from the Bush Foundation as part of their Teacher Effectiveness Initiative (TEI) to support diversity in teaching. Augsburg was one of five schools selected to receive this one time award. Dr. Peg (Margaret) Finders, Chair and Associate Professor of Education, will lead the project in partnership with Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC), and St. Paul Public Schools.
The goal of the project is to build capacity to recruit and support students of color moving through multiple educational institutions towards a degree in teaching. The team will create a coordinated, sustainable infrastructure that will reduce attrition and recruit high quality teacher candidates. The new infrastructure will help the partner institutions foster smooth transitions into teaching, engage in proactive recruitment of teacher candidates of color from multiple entry points, and improve experiences for teacher candidates of color.
This project builds on strengths of the Education departments' East African Student to Teacher program and Special Education program.
