Curriculum Issue

     I was newly named the Assistant Director of the Learning Center(LC) at our school, the center works with students on skills, not in isolation but in conjunction with the classes they are taking. Each student has a leaning plan, from which we make recommendations to the teachers and modifications according to their individual needs. The issue in the LC revolves around the lack of a standard formal curriculum and assessments to make sure tasks are being accomplished.
     Every student at the LC is taught organizational, study, note taking  and test taking skills; they learn to advocate for themselves and most importantly, learn their strengths and weakness as learners. Every two weeks bi-weekies are sent to advisers to discuss with the student to get a better understanding of  how they are doing in class. A step that would help the LC is a formally written  curriculum with assessment that could show mastery or progress; one that students along with faculty could use to gage the progress students make in a concrete form. This problem is one I will focus on in my curriculum development project.
