TBR High Impact Practice Statewide Conference

The 2022 TBR Statewide HIP Conference is an opportunity for faculty, staff, and administrators to come together to share evidence-based high-impact practice implementation and assessment. A focus of the statewide conference will be to highlight ways institutions can utilize teaching and learning centers to support faculty in providing quality HIP courses that reduce student equity gaps. Breakout sessions will include presentations focused on TBR designated HIPs with reports from recent SERS and Course Revitalization grant recipients on what’s working well and lessons learned. Faculty, staff, and administrators with an interest in scaling HIPs at their institution are encouraged to participate.
