Breaking: Anáhuac & CETYS University Partner to ‘Evaluate to Transform’ Higher Education
Tijuana, Mexico – In a significant move for pedagogical advancement, Dr. Herzel García Márquez of Universidad Anáhuac México has completed a vital virtual workshop for teachers and administrators across all three campuses of CETYS University (Tijuana, Mexicali, and Ensenada). This breaking development signals a renewed commitment to impactful teacher training and a proactive approach to educational innovation within Mexican higher education. This isn’t just another training session; it’s a strategic investment in the future of learning.
Reframing Evaluation: From Assessment to Growth
The workshop, titled “Evaluate to Transform,” wasn’t about simply grading papers. It was designed as a dynamic space for reflection, focusing on the strategic role of educational evaluation as a catalyst for continuous improvement. Participants delved into contemporary evaluation approaches, moving beyond traditional methods to explore how assessment can truly drive institutional transformation and, most importantly, strengthen meaningful learning experiences for students. Dr. García Márquez skillfully guided the discussion, fostering a collaborative environment where educators could share experiences and co-create practical solutions.
The Power of Inter-Institutional Collaboration
This collaboration between Universidad Anáhuac and CETYS University highlights a growing trend in higher education: the recognition that shared knowledge and best practices are essential for progress. Dr. García Márquez, also an active member of the Anáhuac Center for Mexican Humanism, emphasized the importance of cultivating an “evaluative culture” – one that prioritizes learning, institutional growth, and the holistic development of each student. Such partnerships not only elevate the academic standing of participating institutions nationally but also create a ripple effect of positive change within the broader educational landscape.
Beyond the Workshop: A Lasting Impact on Student-Centered Learning
The workshop’s impact extends beyond immediate implementation of new techniques. Participants actively constructed proposals to redefine evaluation processes, focusing on student-centered didactic perspectives. This aligns with a global shift in education towards more personalized and engaging learning experiences. The emphasis on academic dialogue and collaborative learning ensures that the insights gained will continue to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing challenges of education. In a world demanding adaptability and critical thinking, this focus on fostering these skills is paramount.
The Faculty of Education and Humanities at Universidad Anáhuac México rightly recognizes Dr. García’s contribution, praising her dedication to an education that doesn’t just evaluate, but inspires transformation and cultivates socially responsible leaders. This initiative serves as a powerful reminder that effective education is a continuous journey of improvement, driven by passionate educators and a commitment to student success.
