Cultivating Students' Affective Learning √ §

How can we cultivate student learning in perspective-taking and social responsibility?  These vital skills--central to UMBC's mission and vision--take on additional prominence for our learning community as we collaborate to build a more equitable and just society.

In this follow-up affective learning workshop, discover how a growing community of UMBC educators are cultivating students’ capacities in affective competencies. We welcome attendees of earlier affective learning workshops to join us to move their work forward, and invite first-time attendees to discover ways to get started. Members of the Applied Learning Experience workgroup will demonstrate how they have crafted affective learning outcomes, created specific assignments to develop and assess this learning, and aligned this learning to the proposed Affective Functional Competencies. Join colleagues to discuss how to craft meaningful pathways for students to achieve these outcomes, draft an affective learning outcome for your own class or experience, and identify authentic tools to measure and collect learning evidence.

This work was partially funded through a Hrabowski Innovation Fund award.
