Centennial Strategic Plan 2006–2015
Goals And Objectives
Goal Two: To Improve Teaching And Learning
For a university to be well regarded by its wide range of stakeholders, an embedded value of the institution must be a deep commitment to its core mission of teaching and learning. This commitment occurs through formal processes such as program review, teaching evaluation, and assistance in the learning and practice of pedagogical advances. It also occurs by faculty being actively involved with students in and out of the classroom, laboratory, and studio, as well as service activities within the community.
Goal Two Objectives
Objective One: Enhancement of teaching and learning through curricula, pedagogies, programs, and methodologies informed by research, along with utilization of advanced technologies.Objective Two: Ongoing critical review of programs to ensure areas of excellence, accommodating new educational ventures and implementing discontinuance procedures for those inconsistent with the University’s focus.
Objective Three: Review of General Education requirements and how they prepare SMU students for citizenship and leadership roles in an educated society.
Objective Four: Enhancement of Honors Programs and Societies in graduate and undergraduate degree programs.
Objective Five: Enhancement of academic expectations and the rigor of academic evaluation.
