    Presenters: Dr. Bonnie B. Mullinix, Jan S. Bishop & René Sawyer of Greenville Technical College.

    This webinar will share insights from a five-year project involving a cross-disciplinary, department-wide revision of three programs and 9 courses, upgrading of instructional resources and expansion of student support.  Along the way, a wide variety of strategies were utilized to ensure a comprehensive approach to creating an engaged learning experience for students built on faculty selected and data-confirmed best practices that resulted in student learning, success, persistence and retention. Building curricula, processes (team-based FLCs) and materials (Course Kits, Master Course Shells), a team-oriented culture, professional and scholarly development support, and more has helped create a faculty cohort able to sustain the impactful core initiatives beyond the five-year grant period.  This presentation will highlight the strategies that have proven most effective in helping to create change that both sticks and grows.
    From 2008-2013, presenters have been actively involved in guiding the federally-funded Title III Unlock Your Future initiative at Greenville Technical College. Presenters include Dr. Bonnie B. Mullinix, UYF Curriculum Coordinator,  Jan S. Bishop, UYF Activity Director & René Sawyer,  UYF Project Director.
