    <div class="html-content">We just dropped a new success video for you to check out on our <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/cnmsadvising/posts/156375/4f4da/fee9d76cab8cdb51e489438811217aba/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F%40cnmsadvising" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CNMS Advising YouTube channel</a>! This video is Part 2 of 3 in a series about the book Effortless by Greg McKeown (a follow-up to his previous book, Essentialism). In this book, McKeown aims to help you make easy, pointless things HARDER and harder, important things EASIER.<div><br></div>
    <div>
    <a href="https://youtu.be/oJgT4imLug8" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">In Part 2 (Effortless Action)</a> you'll take away lessons on how to take the minimum viable action, make sure you understand what 'done' means, and simplify your schoolwork so you can get things done more smoothly and efficiently. Just like last week with Part 1, we will be following this up with a workshop where you can get some hands-on experience figuring out how to implement these lessons in real life.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The workshop on Effortless Action is coming up THIS WEDNESDAY, 2/18, but you are welcome to watch the video in advance (or in place of the interactive workshop).</div>

<Title>Designing Learning &amp; Microcredentials Beyond the Classroom</Title>
<Tagline>Applications Now Open &#8211; Due Monday, March 2 at Noon</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>UMBC students develop powerful, career-relevant skills across campus — through leadership roles, civic engagement, student employment, involvement programs, community partnerships, and other experiences beyond the classroom.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Much of that learning is intentionally designed, coached, and mentored by staff — but it is not always formally recognized.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>This 6-part professional learning series will help staff formalize those experiences into microcredentials that clearly document learning outcomes, competencies, and authentic assessment aligned with career readiness.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>What This Series Will Do</h6>
    <div>Participants will:</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Define clear, student-facing learning outcomes for co-curricular and experiential programs</li>
    <li>Develop “experiential syllabi” that communicate purpose, expectations, and growth</li>
    <li>Design authentic assessment approaches (beyond traditional grading)</li>
    <li>Map programs to competencies and career readiness outcomes</li>
    <li>Draft and refine a full microcredential proposal</li>
    <li>Submit proposals for review through a cross-campus Microcredential Review Board</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>By the end of the series, you will have a complete, review-ready microcredential that documents student learning in your program area.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>Why This Matters</h6>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Provides formal recognition for authentic student learning</li>
    <li>Clarifies the learning happening across diverse campus contexts</li>
    <li>Enhances visibility of staff contributions to student development</li>
    <li>Supports future integration into UMBC’s Learning &amp; Employment Record (LEDR)</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>As leadership and program models evolve across campus, this series creates shared clarity around how we define, document, and recognize learning beyond the classroom.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>Who Should Apply</h6>
    <div>UMBC staff who lead or support:</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Co-curricular programs</li>
    <li>Student leadership initiatives</li>
    <li>Civic or community-based experiences</li>
    <li>Work-integrated or career-connected learning</li>
    <li>Student employment or involvement programs</li>
    <li>Any structured experience where meaningful learning occurs</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>Meeting Dates</h6>
    <ul>
    <li>Welcome &amp; The Experiential Syllabus as a Design Tool: March 13 | 1-2pm | Virtual </li>
    <li>From Program Descriptions to Learning Outcomes: March 27 | 1-2pm | Virtual</li>
    <li>Evidence of Learning and Authentic Assessment: April 10 | 1-2pm | Virtual</li>
    <li>Microcredentials as Learning Documentation at UMBC: April 24 | 1-2pm | Virtual</li>
    <li>Making Learning Visible: Earning Criteria, Skills, and Competencies: May 1 | 1-2pm | Virtual</li>
    <li>Connecting Experiences: Pathways, Stacking, and Next Steps: TBD by cohort members | Face-to-face</li>
    </ul>
    <div><br></div>
    <h6>Missed the Kickoff?</h6>
