Roompact is proud to sponsor 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 Oklahoma 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

We set up the student experience in bifurcated processes. In-class v. out-of-class. This does not support student learning #ACPARCI

Sequencing doesn't always mean "academic classification" or even year … development needs to be sequenced for individual progress #ACPARCI

Don't simply paint what you've done before a new color and call it "learning" or "curriculum." Start with where you want to go and design the experiences to get there. #acparci
