General Education Essentials "Full-time and part-time faculty in any discipline and at any size campus with any type of mission can pick up this volume and learn something that will help her or him improve teaching and learning. "--From the Foreword by Terrel L. Rhodes, vice president for Curriculum, Quality, and Assessment, Association of American Colleges and Universities Every year, hundreds of small colleges, state schools, and large, research-oriented universities across the United States (and, increasingly, Europe and Asia) revisit their core and general education curricula, often moving toward more integrative models. And every year, faculty members who are highly skilled in narrowly defined fields ask two simple questions: "Why?" and "How is this going to affect me?" General Education Essentials seeks to answer these and other questions by providing a much-needed overview of and a rationale for the recent shift in general education curricular design, a sense of how this shift can affect a faculty member's teaching, and an understanding of how all of this might impact course and student assessment. Filled with examples from a variety of disciplines that will spark insights, General Education Essentials explores the techniques that can be used to ensure that students are gaining the skills they need to be perceptive scholars and productive citizens. "This is THE ONE BOOK for academics to get up to speed about reforming general education." --Jerry Gaff, senior scholar, Association of American Colleges and Universities

Thinking about generaleducation and its role in liberal learning has come a long waywithin the past two decades, and Hanstedt enables us to follow andappreciate what has emerged as an increasingly broadconsensus."
--Paul Gaston, Trustees Professor, Kent State University, andauthor of The Challenge of Bologna
"Finally, a thoughtful book, designed specifically forfaculty, on General Education curricula and programs. Whilemuch has been written about general education over the past severaldecades, Hanstedt cuts to the chase and speaks directly to facultyabout the theoretical underpinnings and conceptualization of GE andthe powerful opportunities for learning that it presents toundergraduate students."

"At last! For those of us in higher education who havestruggled through attempted revisions of core curriculum withlittle or no success, Paul Hanstedt's General EducationEssentials provides a framework that blends theory andpractice, helping us rethink the purpose and meaning of liberaleducation. Through curriculum that facilitates connectionsamong the disciplines rather than the acquisition of knowledgeisolated in proverbial 'silos,' Dr. Hanstedt describes ways toconstruct general education models as well as individual coursesthat hone the critical and creative thinking competencies needed todevelop global citizens for the 21st century. Dr.Hanstedt's intelligent approach is grounded in experience,and he speaks in an authentic voice that faculty will recognize ofthe opportunities inherent in a revitalized liberal educationprogram. In outlining concrete models of integrated learning andmeaningful assignments and assessments, Dr. Hanstedt'sresearch and practice can assist any campus in taking that firststep into what can become a transformative experience for facultyand students alike."
