Members of the Carleton College community are engaged in an ongoing process of coordinating the many forms of curricular support available to students and faculty members at Carleton.  The purpose of this exercise is to provide students and faculty members with effective curricular support. 

Release of Research Study

During the 2008-2009 academic year, members of the Carleton community conducted a research study that explored curricular uses of visual materials.  Curricular Uses of Visual Materials: A Mixed-Method Institutional Study is freely available.  In the coming year, this study will be an important resource as we think about ways of further refining curricular support at the College.

More About Coordinated Curricular Support

Coordinating curricular support across the institution is critical because it affords us the ability to:

• Take a holistic look at the curricular support needs, regularly assessing their effectiveness
  
• Consider ways of identifying existing areas of expertise and resources in order to clearly communicate them with students and faculty members
• Complementing areas of expertise and resources among individuals and groups of people providing curricular support 
• Focus professional development, the provision of resources and services in ways that are aligned with the ever changing curriculum at the College.

Stay tuned for updates in all of these areas in the coming academic year.
