IDEAS TO ACTION (i2a): Using Critical Thinking to Foster Student Learning and Community Engagement

Collaborative Learning Community (CLC)
The 2010-2012 CLC cohort continues during the 2011-2012 academic year.

In 2008, the i2a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) was created in order to identify key areas for strategic collaboration between i2a and UofL staff colleagues who work in the areas of student affairs, undergraduate affairs, and student services.

The goal is to support the shared transformation of the curricular, co-curricular and student service experience for undergraduate students by the infusion and assessment of critical thinking skill development.

The 2010-2012 CLC program brings together a new group of 10-12 professionals from across the campus in a learning community that supports the permanent integration of critical thinking. Scroll down to see the list of participants in this current cohort.

The CLC sessions are held monthly in the Delphi Center and give the staff an opportunity to explore and apply i2a concepts to their own work in diverse student learning contexts and share strategies, ideas and lessons learned.   Each staff member will create a project to launch in 2011-2012 in which they can promote and assess the critical thinking skills of their students using the i2a framework.
