Healthy Curriculum: Getting your curriculum into shape and keeping it that way

Curriculum is the heart of what we, as educators, do. Keeping our curriculum healthy requires our colleges to stretch, tumble, roll, drill, run, maneuver, and persevere through the curriculum race. Whether you choose to build noncredit endurance, boost Career Technical Education (CTE) potential, venture into innovative activities, or get an overview of heart-healthy curriculum, this year’s curriculum institute will explore topics intended to help everyone keep curriculum healthy in spite of the changing environment in which we live. 

The 2015 Academic Academy is scheduled for March 13-14, 2015 at the Westin South Coast Plaza located at 686 Anton Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Registration begins Friday at 9AM and the program commences at 10AM; the conference will end Saturday at 3PM.
