STLR Faculty and Staff

Faculty and staff carry out UCO’s mission of providing transformative learning experiences to students – thereby helping them become well-rounded, employable, citizens and leaders. STLR is the way we do Transformative Learning at UCO by: providing training to faculty and staff, a way to measure student growth and a record of students’ experiences across the Central Six Tenets.

2. STLR-Tagging Activities: Build new, or enhance existing, assignments, events, student groups, and out-of-class projects; match to one or more STLR tenets, then request to STLR-tag them.
3. Telling about STLR: Explain STLR to students using resources from the D2L STLR Resources shell and our YouTube channel, following the STLR Style Guide; and do research on STLR activities and present about it to add to their CVs!
4. Giving students STLR credit: After STLR-tagging activities, collect UCO ID swipes at events/locations, upload attendee lists, or collect student reflections and assess them using the STLR rubric.
