Sustainable Curriculum
Provost Agouris initiated a sustainable curriculum review process for each of W&M’s component schools in December 2020. Led by each school’s dean in collaboration with faculty, administration, and other school-specific partners, this effort is designed to ensure each school’s curriculum reaches specific benchmarks:
- Meets the needs of current and future students
- Is pedagogically sound
- Is adequately resourced and makes effective use of resources
- Reflects a school vision/strategy that advances W&M’s mission, vision, and values
- Provides a mechanism for identifying potential new opportunities and programs
- Enables the academic enterprise to respond effectively with programs and resources in current and future fiscal environments
The intended outcomes include identifying the following:
- A curriculum vision/strategy for the next 3-5 years
- Teaching needs to best deliver the sustainable curriculum
- Areas of strength and areas of concern
- Opportunities for new programs with demonstrated potential demand
- An action plan to address areas of strength, concern, and opportunity, and to align resources with demands, and to generate new resources
