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:

How do you assess the virtuous traits that are in the rubric? Can you assess empathy? Honesty? Compassion? #ACPARCI

Don't be afraid to think creatively about using rubrics for assessment. Ex. use rubrics to assess student learning in a focus group #ACPARCI

Lessons learned when writing rubrics: Language matters. Be clear and specific. Do not use gendered language. #acparci
— Mackenzie Fritz (@mackenzieMSU) October 18, 2016
Don't use intensifiers for your words in a rubric. That makes it 'extremely' hard to measure. #ACPARCI
