The Center of Inquiry welcomes the Teagle Collaborative, which is to be held on April 12-14, 2007 at Trippet Hall, Wabash College.
The Teagle Collaborative includes Kalamazoo College, Colorado College, and Earlham College. A Catalyst for Cognizance and Change, the collaborative will carry out a project combining quantitative and qualitative means of gathering data and stories that will provide the evidence for the assertions about student outcomes and help to improve and sustain an interrogative approach to shaping the curricula through which students become educated. The collaborative will collectively administer the Cooperative Institutional Research Project (CIRP) Survey, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), and the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) instrument, as well as hold student focus groups and annual summer data sharing conversations to assess the value added by these institutions to their students' intellectual and personal growth.
