Participants will focus on their own questions related to their disciplinary curricula, coming together regularly to talk about common issues and strategies that could help us to make a critical examination of our curricula and to evaluate the impact of curricular changes. I am particularly interested in putting together a group that spans several disciplines so that we can leverage the different approaches and expertise represented across campus.<br><br>The Office of Instruction and Assessment will provide intellectual and infrastructural support to help us pursue the questions we identify as important to our respective disciplines, and participants will receive $500 support.<br><br>More information is available at the following website: <a href="http://oia.arizona.edu/content/proposal-curriculum-study-faculty-group">http://oia.arizona.edu/content/proposal-curriculum-study-faculty-group</a> .
