Workshop Details Participants take on the role of ‘faculty and staff at a fictional university (members of the Academic Management Committee),’ and are divided into roles such as assistant to the president, entrance exams, academic affairs, IR, and public relations, experiencing hands-on group work.
First, we interpreted the dashboard submitted by the IR Office and examined from multiple angles whether the university’s assessment policies and the desired student profile were “supported by data” and “did not diverge from reality.” Furthermore, based on these results, we design improvement measures starting from entrance exams, open campus programs, and pre-enrollment education, along with “effectiveness measurement indicators” as a set.
Because it’s a fictional university, the real appeal is that you can freely make retorts beyond your position. However, the challenges hidden within these are surely familiar landscapes even at our own universities.
Not only will you enjoy the ‘verification perspective’ available at your university starting tomorrow, but the set of fictional data used in training can also be used directly in your own FD/SD training. We look forward to your participation from diverse perspectives such as entrance exams, public relations, and IR!

【For faculty and staff】2024 2nd Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting
“Thinking about the mental health of university students and class management -What can be done from the standpoint of a faculty member-” Registration is now open.

 

This year’s event, the second of the 2024 Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting, will be held under the theme of “Thinking about the Mental Health of University Students and Class Management: What You Can Do from the Standpoint of a Teacher.”

In recent years, there has been an increase in the enrollment rate of students who feel some kind of disability in conventional class management due to mental disorders and developmental disabilities, and the needs of these students at universities are diversifying. In addition, in modern class management, such as the mandatory reasonable accommodation and the spread of expectations for online classes, these factors are intricately intertwined, and in some cases, it may be difficult to deal with “what should be done and to what extent”. In addition to responding after the student consults with you, there may be things you can prepare for in advance.

Therefore, this training will be an opportunity to think together about how to deal with class management based on the concept of a “social model of disability” as a hint for dealing with these issues. First, you will learn the basic knowledge of mental health for university students, and then you will get an overview of the concept of the “social model of disability.” In addition, I would like to have the opportunity to think about tomorrow’s class management together while thinking about “what teachers can do” and “what they can do” from both the post and front perspectives, and at the same time, “what should not be done” based on the keywords “seven elements of reasonable accommodation,” “the role of the syllabus,” and “use of rubrics.”

This is not a “training session” but an “exchange meeting”, so please feel free to join us.

(3) How to apply

Step 1 Before You Start Writing Your Application

We recommend reading the master plan of the administrative district in which the activity will be carried out! In addition, please listen to the opinions of local people and related government agencies as much as possible regarding the background of the project implementation and the needs of the community. If you have any questions about the basic plan of the ward or points to keep in mind when working in the community, you can also consult with the Regional Power Promotion Office of each ward office or branch.
In addition to reconfirming and sharing your objectives and achievement goals, let’s discuss and think once again within the group whether the business content you are thinking about is the best way to achieve your objectives. In addition, for continuing projects, let’s thoroughly summarize the efforts made so far and organize the points for improvement and novelty so that they can be reflected in the application form.

Step 2 Let’s write an application!

Download the application form from the following>
● Reiwa 8 Recruitment Guidelines
● Reiwa 8 “School Town Collaboration Project Connecting Students and Communities (Standard Frame)” Application Form (Microsoft Word)
