Research - Learning and Project Based Meetings
The Consortium operates in the context of a simple construct - be financial cost effective;
provide a conduit for information relevant to faculty, administration and staff within our Alabama HBCU institutions; allow institutions to assess if projects promoted by the consortium meet the needs of the respective institutions or provide an opportunity for institutional advancement; and finally, seek a commitment from each participating institution in the form of either a memorandum of understanding (MOU) or a combined MOU and Scope of Work (SOW) agreement.
During the last FY the consortium held eight ½ day convening events covering the following topics:
- The DACUM project
- Using the Arts as a teaching methodology to promote Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics learning
- Experiential Learning and work-force classroom inclusion – Riipen
- Professional Development
- Classroom / Employer partnership
- Registered Apprenticeships
- Strategic Planning and Faculty Professional Development
- Social Work- Passage of certification examinations – methods to increase minority inclusion in the profession
- Education and certification rates – passage of Praxis as well as increasing minority inclusion in the profession
- Student Engagement Data and Analytics {SEDA) HUB – ASU Project
- Governor’s Office of Education and Workforce Transformation {GOEWT)
- Alabama “ATLAS” Alabama Terminal for Linking and Analyzing Statistics (ATLAS) on Career Pathways as part of our work with the Governor’s Office of Education and Workforce Transformation (GOEWT).
- Alabama work-force TRIAD – Greg DiDonato, who is Vice President of EBSCO and is the lead developer of the Alabama Talent Triad.
Approximately 80% of the Alabama HBCUs and HBCCs attended four or more of these convenings. The Consortium established the convenings as an effective means for presenting project, research, and collaboration opportunities and this must continue as an ongoing strategy.
