“The WCJC QEP will provide a “First Year Student Experience” curriculum through the PSYC 1300 (Learning Framework) course, which will enable students to be successful in the classroom and to attain their academic goals.  The QEP will target students struggling to meet college expectations.

The curriculum for the WCJC Learning Framework course includes a study of the research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation, factors that impact learning, and application of learning strategies.  Students will use self-assessment instruments and participate in advising and orientation experiences to set realistic and appropriate academic and career goals.  Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply these skills to their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners.  Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned.

The WCJC Learning Framework course will be offered for the first time in spring 2009.

The development of the QEP has been a multi-year endeavor involving the commitment of six QEP Core Team members and three subcommittees with guidance from the WCJC Board of Trustees, the Leadership Team, faculty, staff, and students.  This plan is inclusive of the WCJC college community and will improve the quality of student learning.”
