General education, or learning that should be common to all, is considered in five essays adapted from colloquium addresses and one essay, summarized in chapters 1 and 7 of this volume, that provided the colloquium theme. In "The Quest for Common Learning," Ernest L. Boyer identifies six essential objectives of general education. Wayne C. Booth's essay, "Mere Rhetoric, Rhetoric, & the Search for Common Learning," distinguishes a type of rhetoric that is important to five kinds of general education. Next, "Heritage and Traditions" by Frederick Rudolph discusses the importance of history in general education, including three models for incorporating history in general learning programs. In "Contemporary Organizations," Rosabeth Moss Kanter emphasizes the importance of understanding social structures and organizations and identifies aspects of organizational life that challenge individualistic or voluntaristic assumptions. The essay "The Natural World" by Lewis Thomas considers instruction in science, and specifically biology, at the college level. Fred Hechinger discusses the need for educational coordination in providing a general education curriculum in "The High School-College Connection." Finally, "Prospects for the Future" by Arthur Levine considers prospects for improving general education. (SW)

American higher education—historically and inherently—is a morally formative endeavor. Yet, in order to respond to America’s moral pluralism, higher education has increasingly taken a reductionistic approach to moral formation. Consequently, it abandoned the effort to supply students with moral expertise. Current approaches help students learn how to be excellent professionals and citizens, but they fail to provide the necessary tools for living the good life—in college and beyond. Identity Excellence: A Theory of Moral Expertise for Higher Education addresses this problem by setting forth a multi-disciplinary theory of moral expertise for fostering moral excellence in an array of important identities. To this end, it teases apart the essential elements of what it means to be excellent in an identity before discussing the philosophical, sociological, psychological, and educational processes necessary for students to internalize traditions of identity excellence as part of their own moral identities. Overall, the emergent theory exposes the shortcomings in contemporary general education, professional ethics, and co-curricular education. Finally, this book sets forth a bold but compelling vision for a more hopeful future for American higher education. As outlined within, such education involves teaching students’ excellence in the Great Identities, as well as how to prioritize and integrate their pursuit of identity excellence.

In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.

General education has been an essential part of American higher education for a long time. Unfortunately, it is often seen as something to "get out of the way" so that the student can go on to take the more "important" courses within a chosen major. This volume changes that perception. Topics discussed include: Integrated General Education: A Brief Look Back Why are Outcomes So Difficult to Achieve? Making General Education Matter: Structures and Strategies Unifying the Undergraduate Curriculum Through Inquiry-Guided Learning University of the Pacific's Bookend Seminars on a Good Society Core Curriculum Revision at TCU: How Faculty Created and Are Maintaining the TCU Core Curriculum Creating an Integrative General Education: The Bates Experience Building an Integrated Student Learning Outcomes Assessment for General Education: Three Case Studies Meaningful General Education Assessment That is Integrated and Transformative Institutions of higher education have a responsibility to develop a meaningful general education curriculum that cultivates qualities of thinking, communication, and problem solving (to name a few of the general education goals that many institutions share). What is missing from many institutions, though, is the concept of integrating general education with the overall educational curriculum. If this is done, general education courses are no longer something to take quickly so they can be checked off; instead; they become part of the educational development of the student. This integration benefits the student, certainly, but also the larger society--baccalaureate graduates steeped in the liberal arts will become future leaders. Having been prepared with a broad knowledge base, our current students will be able to think more critically and make good use of information to solve problems that have not yet even been identified. This is the 121st volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series New Directions for Teaching and Learning, which offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned instructors and the latest findings of educational and psychological researchers.

Will We Let the End of Public Education Be the End of Our Democracy? Are you a teacher who is tired of teaching to the test, and who feels constrained and dismissed by arbitrary evaluation systems? Are you a parent who wants your child to be excited about going to school every day instead of having test anxiety? Would you like to be more involved in your neighborhood school? Do you have professional expertise and a wealth of experience to offer students, teachers, and families? Would you like to lend your talents to local schools to prepare the next generation of citizens and workers? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then fasten your seat belt and answer the call to action in Principal's Passion: A Quest for Quality Public Education. Susan Colton will guide you through a successful, common-sense process to transform our public schools. You will learn how to: - Create an innovative learning environment that engages all students. - Promote your school and build relationships with internal and external customers. - Invite local and state decision makers to experience the incredible work achieved by students and teachers. - Engage diverse school communities and restore trust in public education. Susan Colton offers firsthand perspectives on the necessary changes that will benefit students, teachers, and parents and create a school culture in which children can truly thrive and advance, intellectually, socially, and emotionally. She also gives an insider viewpoint on how public education has become a big business, and how communities must engage to prevent privatization and bring back the joy of learning.
