Most beneficial:

• Assign multiple QEP sections per trained instructor

• Assign QEP sections in consecutive semesters

QEP MOMENTUM CONCERNS:

• Upcoming workload issues

• Possible split - lecture from lab

• Trained faculty not assigned to teach QEP target course

INSPIRE Goal 1: PREPARE• Science emphasis versions of EDUC 1300 (Learning Frameworks)

• Same EDUC 1300 SLOs• Aligned EDUC 1300 SLOs with QEP SLOs

• Unique collaboration between HCC science and EDUC professors• 6 Science-Based EDUC 1300 Exercises:

• Unique approach: students test drive exercise own product on a content test
