Ball State University's Center for Technology in Education will have the third annual EPIC Institute today to help education students and professionals with curriculum design.
CTE director Matthew Stuve said Evidence-based Professional Instructional Change is a collaboration between Ball State and several K-12 schools in Indiana.
The institute will feature an open house for teachers to showcase their work in curriculum design. Tables and displays will be set up to give information about projects from schools involved with EPIC. Teachers and participants will also have 10-minute interactive presentations. Teachers and administrators can also attend several 45-minute workshops to learn different aspects of EPIC at an introductory level.
Stuve said the Center for Technology in Education is in its fourth year of a grant from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to help develop curriculum models to enhance student learning.
This year's institute should be the largest, he said. More than 200 people attended the last one and he expects the same for tomorrow. He said predicting the attendance was hard, however, because this is a busy time of the year for teachers. The last two EPIC Institutes were in the fall when teachers weren't as busy.
The institute is at Minnetrista. The open house starts at 4:30 p.m. and workshops start at 5:45 p.m.
