For Faculty | University Core Curriculum | SIU

In Fall 2012, the SIU Faculty Senate adopted the Essential Learning Outcomes of the Association of American Colleges and Universities LEAP initiative as the learning objectives of the SIU Core Curriculum.

All courses in the University Core must submit their Assessment report at the end of the semester the course was taught.  Please pick at least two learning  objectives from  LEAP learning outcomes and/or SIUC institutional learning outcomes.

We will gladly help you with developing your assessment plan.

SIU's Early Warning Intervention Program (EWIP) - As part of our efforts to support students academically, a number of general education and gateway courses are participating in an early warning intervention program that identifies students who appear to be having difficulty in these courses.

Each semester -  in Week 4 and Week 8 - you will get a request to fill in a report for students-at-risk in your courses. Following your alert, students may be contacted by academic advisors seeking to ascertain whether a student is having difficulty, the nature and reasons for that difficulty, and to offer additional resources that improve the students’ chances of successfully completing your courses. You can see the follow up on Navigate.
