Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical blueprint for reinventing American higher education. America’s research universities consistently dominate global rankings but may be entrenched in a model that no longer accomplishes their purposes. With their multiple roles of discovery, teaching, and public service, these institutions represent the gold standard in American higher education, but their evolution since the nineteenth century has been only incremental. The need for a new and complementary model that offers broader accessibility to an academic platform underpinned by knowledge production is critical to our well-being and economic competitiveness. Michael M. Crow, president of Arizona State University and an outspoken advocate for reinventing the public research university, conceived the New American University model when he moved from Columbia University to Arizona State in 2002. Following a comprehensive reconceptualization spanning more than a decade, ASU has emerged as an international academic and research powerhouse that serves as the foundational prototype for the new model. Crow has led the transformation of ASU into an egalitarian institution committed to academic excellence, inclusiveness to a broad demographic, and maximum societal impact. In Designing the New American University, Crow and coauthor William B. Dabars—a historian whose research focus is the American research university—examine the emergence of this set of institutions and the imperative for the new model, the tenets of which may be adapted by colleges and universities, both public and private. Through institutional innovation, say Crow and Dabars, universities are apt to realize unique and differentiated identities, which maximize their potential to generate the ideas, products, and processes that impact quality of life, standard of living, and national economic competitiveness. Designing the New American University will ignite a national discussion about the future evolution of the American research university.

Download or read book Getting It Done written by Karin Chenoweth and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting It Done describes in clear and helpful detail what leaders of successful high-poverty and high-minority schools have done to promote and sustain student achievement. It follows two celebrated books by Karin Chenoweth: It’s Being Done, which established that the work of educating all children is possible, and How It’s Being Done, which examined the structures and processes necessary to support academic success. Getting It Done turns to the crucial issue of school leadership, exploring how school leaders have promoted unprecedented levels of school and student achievement. A book that focuses on real leaders—and on the knowledge and skills that they have employed on behalf of heightened achievement—Getting It Done will be essential reading for school leaders, and for all who believe that a successful education can be attained by all students.

This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from my experience both as a Christian leader and a lecturer over the years, the issue of how to combine one's Christian activities with one's academic pursuits has been a very thorny one. On one extreme, are those who believe that they are in school to study, have good grades and that the best way to testify their Christian faith is by being the best and graduating with honors and giving little or no time to the nourishment of their spiritual life. The former group of students devotes most of their time to studying with minimum time for spiritual activities or extra-curricular work. While there may be merit in this position, it ends up with the student being academically strong but spiritually weak, lacking spiritual qualities to meet with the challenges of life. On the other extreme are those who spend most of their time in various Christian activities and fellowship programmes to the point that they neglect their studies. The latter group of students soon finds out that their disposition mars their testimonies, puts them in confrontation with their parents and guardians and may lead to depression and in some cases backsliding from the faith. This book aims to bring balance between these two extremes. It helps the student to get a balance between his Christian activities and his commitment to his academic pursuits. I have often said that there is no dichotomy between the spiritual and the secular. Our devotion to God should make us possess extra-ordinary wisdom and knowledge beyond our contemporaries. Daniel 1:17, 20 reads, "As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams... And in all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm." In this book, I offer practical steps and suggestions on how every student can maintain excellence both in his studies and in the pursuit of his faith. I wish I had these ideas over two decades ago when I was in school. However, I believe that this book will be widely circulated among students at all levels and it will bring up a generation that will be worthy of emulation in all aspects of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informed by years of research and on-the-ground reporting, Schools That Succeed is Karin Chenoweth’s most inspiring and compelling book yet—an essential read for educators who seek to break the stubborn connection between academic achievement and socioeconomic status. Chenoweth draws on her decade-long journey into neighborhood schools where low-income students and students of color are learning at unexpectedly high levels to reveal a key ingredient to their success: in one way or another, their leaders have confronted the traditional ways that schools are organized and have adopted new systems, all focused on improvement. In vivid profiles of once-embattled schools, Chenoweth shows how school leaders doggedly and patiently reorganized internal systems in order to prioritize teaching and learning, resulting in improved outcomes that in many cases exceeded statewide averages. From how they use time to how they use money, schools that succeed combine a deep belief in the capacity of their students to achieve with deliberate systems focused on student needs. As a result, they create vibrant places “where teachers want to teach and students want to learn."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pathways to Academic Success in Higher Education examines two major challenges facing the nation. The first is preparing high school students for college, a reform that has been tackled largely through state policy initiatives. The second is creating new pathways to academic success for underrepresented students in higher education, a challenge that must be addressed within a decentralized system of higher education. Part one: Presents and documents key findings from research on K-12 education policy. Part two: Provides action research using a state data system to inform colleges and universities. Part three: Focuses on the future of policy and organizational initiatives to improve opportunity. This book integrates studies conducted over nearly a decade and offers guidance on how best to understand and promote retention and success once students have gained access.
