Roompact is proud to sponsor the tenth anniversary of ACPA’s Residential Curriculum Institute. Offered annually to educators and professionals in residence life and education, the Institute is a three day series of sequential workshops and sessions that teach participants how to implement a curricular approach to education in the residence halls.
As provider of software that enables colleges and universities to implement and track a residential curriculum, Roompact is on the ground in Tampa this week. In case you missed it, we’ll be recapping each day of the institute:
- Day 1 RCI Recap (current)
- Day 2 RCI Recap
- Day 3 RCI Recap

Assessment shouldn't be a separate process. If assessment isn't a pedagogical tool, you are missing an opportunity. #ACPARCI

Don’t be afraid to read scholarship outside of education. Look to research on cognition, psychology, and business to diversify #ACPARCI

Don't be defensive about the results of your assessment. It may guide and inform your work and revision of your work #ACPARCI

Selection for all levels of staffing is greatly impacted by the curricular model. We need to select educators. #ACPARCI

The planner in me loves that we map out the year. But, how do we plan for the unplanned? Campus crisis? Campus celebration? #ACPARCI

It's such a common part of the process to realize you've created a program model w LGs rather than curriculum and need to rethink. #ACPARCI
