College Curriculum Renewal Project
Enhancing the Georgetown Experience by Deepening Student Learning
The College Curriculum Renewal Project (CCRP) is an important part of improving student learning at Georgetown. Over the last six years, this project has spurred curricular examination, experimentation and renewal across the college.
Since 2001, the College Dean’s Office has offered grant support first to individual faculty and then to entire departments to encourage engagement in a process of curricular reflection. This effort has resulted in insightful ways of rethinking goals for student learning and imaginative ways of reaching such goals through new courses and curricular designs.
Phase I
A thorough history of CCRP’s first phase can be found on the Phase I CCRP Website and in the Handbook for Curriculum Renewal published by the project at the halfway point in 2004. This phase began a conversation about expanding and deepening student learning in the core curriculum and in the major. Participants explored such ideas as 4th credit course options and assessing problem-solving skills in their course redesign projects.
Phase II
This website is dedicated to the second, and final, phase of CCRP. Here, you can find the overall project findings, as well as summaries and full reports from participating departments in the second phase of the project. Although this is the final phase of the formal CCRP project, many departments have said that engaging in a collaborative process to improve teaching and learning was so valuable that they plan to continue in this work.
