It’s About Engagement

Faculty Development Services Offered by CETL 

CETL is committed to promoting “research-based pedagogies that foster student academic engagement, learning, and success … [to] cultivate a data-driven campus-wide culture of ongoing academic program enhancement.” Our programming plan for the It’s About Engagement initiative is designed to boost and expand existing faculty capacity supporting undergraduate research, service learning, and co-ops/internships.

We also support It's About Engagement through a CETL Faculty Fellow dedicated specifically to the initiative. This fellow designs and delivers programming supporting the use of reflection as a learning tool broadly across KSU curricula and for special emphasis on integrating reflective practices into It’s About Engagement courses. This position supports faculty in exploring scholarly approaches to adopting and implementing reflective learning practices and assignments for students in their courses, and in particular assists faculty in designing final reflection assignments to meet expectation for designated It’s About Engagement courses.

    • (1) undergraduate research,
    • (2) Internships/co-ops, and
    • (3) service-learning. 
  • Faculty have ample opportunity to participate in CETL programming that specifically supports the It’s About Engagement Quality Enhancement Plan via access to online resources, university-wide and unit-specific face-to-face events, and individual consultations.
