With generous support from an Illinois Community College Board Scaling and Assessing Developmental Education Reform Act Project grant, Lincoln Land Community College is pleased to host a two-day English Corequisite Institute open to faculty, academic support partners and instructional designers across Central Illinois. The institute's goal is to help individual faculty and institutional teams develop or revise their English corequisite curriculum to better meet the needs of post-pandemic, generative AI-era developing writers.

This two-day institute, happening on May 20 and 21, will be a combination of 60- to 75-minute focused talks punctuated by dedicated time for institutional teams and attendees to dive into their own curriculum and have meaningful discussions about course improvements. 

Anticipated session and panel topics:

  • Teaching for transfer (teaching for now, and teaching for what's next)
  • Integrating self-regulated learning, reflective practices and other metacognitive skills 
  • Student support in corequisite courses (embedded tutoring, supplemental instruction, advising, etc.)
  • Resilience, persistence and the emotional realities of our students 
  • Multimodal teaching, multimodal learning
  • Access, equity and inclusive practices
  • Corequisite courses in the age of Generative AI
  • Alternative assessment to support student learning, writing and growth
  • Asset-based approach to teaching and supporting neurodivergent students

Who is invited to attend? 

  • English, adult basic and secondary education faculty 
  • Academic support partners (writing/learning center staff, tutors)
  • Student support partners (academic advisors, TRiO, accessibility staff)
  • Curriculum and instructional designers
  • Department chairs, deans and other administrative leaders
  • Other staff or faculty involved or invested in English corequisite courses
