Developing a residential education curriculum requires not just a change in process and procedure, but also a cultural and philosophical change in the way our approach to our work. To that end, the presenters will share a Residential Curriculum assessment guides they and others developed to aid departments in continuous improvement. This session will introduce the curriculum and guides, allow participants to practice applying the tools, and discuss methods for implementing it in practice. Originally presented at the 2018 NASPA-Student Affairs Professionals in Higher Education Conference in Philadelphia, PA.
