General Education Task Force
The GE Task Force convened in Spring 2008 and began by researching the history of GE at CSUCI and by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of our current program. At the same time, we became familiar with current theory and practice in general education, examining scholarship and research and surveying many different GE models around the country. We examined CSU Executive Order 1033 to understand external parameters and how we might work in relationship to them. With this information in mind we re-examined our current structure in terms of the relationship between GE and the majors, student perceptions of general education, and the assessment of student learning.
We invite the faculty to review the Key Features and the FAQ on this website. There will be opportunities throughout the fall semester for faculty to discuss this exciting opportunity to transform General Education at Channel Islands to better serve our students and ourselves.
Please provide feedback to the Task Force through the link to the left, and check back with the FAQ for updates as the conversation gets going.
