Putting Students First

How Colleges Develop Students Purposefully

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Putting Students First Society is calling for higher education to take more responsibility for helping students find purpose and meaning in life. In this book, the authors argue that colleges should purposefully invest in students in ways that will foster their holistic development by recognizing and building on students' purpose in life, intellectually, spiritually, and morally. By using the "4C framework"--culture, curriculum, cocurriculum, and community--faculty, student affairs staff, and academic administrators will be able to discuss, plan, and create a college environment that effectively supports the learning and development of students. The book contains a set of themes and calls for consideration and action based on the findings of site visits at 10 colleges and a set of questions to help readers think about and plan how to develop students holistically on their own campuses. Contents include: * Putting Students First * Conceptual Framework and Design of the Project * Culture * Curriculum * Cocurriculum * Community * Creating Communities That Put Students First
