2014 Curriculum Institute

Event Dates
Deadline to Register/Application Deadline

2014 Curriculum Institute will take place on July 10 - 12, 2014 at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose.

Welcome to the 17th annual ASCCC Curriculum Institute! Curriculum is the heart of the California Community College System as we work diligently to serve the diverse needs of our communities. As with anything of such value, the workings of the heart become complicated and we sometimes stumble through the dark. At least here we can stumble through the dark together. 

Last year’s theme was Everything Under the Sun, so this year, we have the dark side planned for you; welcome to the Curriculum After Dark. The Curriculum Committee has designed a program of essential information and navigational aids, process and procedural breakouts, as well as several veins you might explore including noncredit, career technical education, and technology. Often we become blinded by the myriad facets of our tell-tale regulations and structures that we may neglect such vital pathways to the same curricular core. This is an excellent time to explore and collect information and ideas that will strengthen your local college. Lastly, there is a discussion strand where no formal presentation is prepared, but an opportunity to share what local practices are successful and learn from colleagues. Building a sense of community among those intimately involved in curriculum has been a life-saver for many.

Hotel & Travel

Location

The Hayes Mansion located at 200 Edenvale Avenue, San Jose, Ca 95136 is the host hotel for this year's Institute. Once a lavish private estate, the Hayes Mansion stands as one of the South Bay's most impressive and distinctive historical structures. Surrounded by lush, emerald green lawns, accented with gardens of vibrant, colorful flowers and guarded by towering palm trees, the 100-year old estate has been refurbished, upgraded and transformed into a luxurious hotel, conference center, resort and spa. Dolce Hayes Mansion is an environmentally friendly hotel using green standards such as: carbon off setting, recycling, reduction in paper usage, towel and sheet reuse as well as other energy efficient measures. Steeped in tradition and rich in history, the mansion provides visitors with an extraordinary experience. This quiet haven, complete with sweeping mountain views, offers the perfect venue for business meetings, special events, weddings or relaxing getaways - just 15 minutes from San Jose International Airport and 45 minutes from San Francisco and Monterey.

Driving directions can be found here. Parking is complementary for all attendees. For those flying to Northern California, there are four airports to choose from: San Jose (the shortest driving distance), San Francisco International, Oakland and Sacramento.
