GNOMES: THE WACE PLANNING INSTITUTE MODEL

The Insititute introduces a simple, yet powerful planning model — GNOMES — as a guide for teams to use with facilitators as they design their own plans for advancing their institution’s experiential education programs and portfolio.

The GNOME will give participants a framework to facilitate smooth implementation of their plan when they return to campus.

One the first day of the Institute, teams present their current campus programs, as well as their goals for the week. Throughout the week, team conversations about planning will be facilitated by Institute Faculty Members. On the fifth day of the Institute, teams present their future plans, followed by discussion and feedback from all Institute participants and faculty.

“The genius of the Institute is the dynamic interplay of plenary sessions, peer learning with representatives of diverse institutions and team planning.”

“Participating in the WACE Institute was paramount for us to develop a plan. If your institution is looking to optimize experiential education, then sending a team to an upcoming WACE Institute is a very worthwhile investment.”

Brendan, University of Manitoba (CA)

“Our team came with an idea and left with a plan ready to be put into action.”

Jill, University of Texas (US)

ABOUT THE INSTITUTE - PLANNING EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION FOR YOUR CAMPUS

Adding a wide-spectrum integrated experiential program to an academic curriculum is a strong way for your institution to address issues of student success both during and after college. This Planning Institute will do that through a unique combination of expert faculty lectures, facilitated plan development and sustained interaction with faculty and other Institute participants. Participants leave with a draft plan that features stronger interaction with the outside world, deeper reflection by students on their career trajectory and opportunities to respond to modern higher education concerns on your campus.

Four adjectives to succinctly describe the institute:
