Abstract/Description
Living and learning go hand-in-hand at the University of Dayton and Housing and Residence Life has implemented a curricular approach to the residential experience in order to foster authentic relationship-building strategies that simultaneously create transformational education opportunities for students to engage in learning around topics such as vocation, conflict resolution, social identity, adapting to and influencing change, and compromise. In this ‘how-to’ workshop, participants will not only learn more about the strategies being used to engage students in residential learning but will have the opportunity to actually experience examples of intentionally designed pedagogical approaches being used on campus.
In addition to learning more about this residential curriculum, we will cover the assessment strategies being employed with each one and discuss what we have learned about students, as a result.
