This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Present Successes and Future Challenges in Honors Education is the first volume in an edited series examining the proliferation of honors programs and colleges in American higher education. While honors education has become ubiquitous in American higher education, this transformation has happened without systematic attempts to align what honors means across institutions, and absent a universally agreed upon definitions of what honors is and what it might aspire to be in the future. This generates possibility and flexibility, while also creating rather serious challenges. The contributors document the decades-long structural transformations that led to the rise of honors education while also providing perspective on the present and future challenges in honors education. The chapters address such issues as ensuring equity in honors, how we ought to think about student success and frame this for external stakeholders, and how the diffusion of honors-inspired pedagogies elsewhere in the university forces us to rethink our mission and our day-to-day practice. Throughout, their investigations are grounded in the present while turning a keen and perceptive eye to the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deluged with messages that range from “It’s Ivy League or bust” to “It doesn’t matter where you go,” college applicants and their families often find themselves lost, adrift in a sea of information overload. Finally—a worthy life preserver has arrived. The Enlightened College Applicant speaks to its audience in a highly accessible, engaging, and example-filled style, giving readers the perspective and practical tools to select and earn admission at the colleges that most closely align with their academic, career, and life goals. In place of the recycled entrance statistics or anecdotal generalizations about campus life found in many guidebooks, The Enlightened College Applicant presents a no-nonsense account of how students should approach the college search and admissions process. Shifting the mindset from “How can I get into a college?” to “What can that college do for me?” authors Bergman and Belasco pull back the curtain on critical topics such as whether college prestige matters, what college-related skills are valued in the job market, which schools and degrees provide the best return on investment, how to minimize the costs of a college education, and much more. Whether you are a valedictorian or a B/C student, this easy-to-read book will improve your college savvy and enable you to maximize the benefits of your higher education.

Download or read book A Handbook for Honors Programs at Two-year Colleges written by Theresa Ann James and published by National Collegiate Honors. This book was released on 2006 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is an idea book for two-year institutions thinking of adding an honors program to their list of academic offerings, and as such aspires to provide a useful description of the many options available to honors education for the several audiences who, as a matter of course, may become stakeholders in the operation of a two-year college honors program. Beyond their need for initial suggestions about starting a successful honors program at their home institutions, readers may consider the author's full and various descriptions as an invitation to lift their eyes toward the horizon, to envision a full program that will truly serve the needs of the institution. This work also acquaints the audience with a selection of key examples that will aid an embryonic program in the sometimes onerous birthing process. The handbook includes several appendices that list some useful research about honors, including a sample honors retreat and model honors contracts. The following are appended: (1) Basic Characteristics of a Fully Developed Honors Program; (2) Basic Characteristics of a Fully Developed Honors College; (3) NCHC Publications, Monographs, and Resources; (4) Sample Honors Retreat by Eddie Weller, San Jacinto College, South Campus; (5) Sample Contracts (excerpted from "A 'Sampler' of Honors Contracts," edited by Roy Colquitt for the Two-Year College Committee, 1999); and (6) Bibliography.

This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Challenges and the Future of Honors Education is the third volume in an edited series examining the proliferation of honors programs and colleges in American higher education. While honors education has become ubiquitous in American higher education, this transformation has happened without systematic attempts to align what honors means across institutions, and absent a universally agreed upon definitions of what honors is and what it might aspire to be in the future. This generates possibility and flexibility, while also creating rather serious challenges. Many such challenges are structural: perpetual budgetary constraints, changing expectations about the role of high education and the “return” it ought to provide to the student, and the changing technological landscape of higher education and society more generally. The contributors here examine the structural challenges honors education currently faces and those forces it is likely to confront in the future, offering insights about how honors might respond creatively to these present and future challenges.

This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dream of public higher education in America is to provide opportunity for many and to offer transformative help to American communities and the economy. Expanding Opportunity in Higher Education explores the massive challenges facing California and the nation in realizing this goal during a time of enormous demographic change. The immediate focus on California is particularly appropriate given the size of the state—it educates one out of every nine students in the country—and its checkered political record with respect to civil rights and educational inequities. The book includes essays not only by academics looking at the state's educational system as a whole, but also by those within the policy system who are trying to keep it going in difficult times. The contributors show that the destiny of California, and the nation, rests on the courage of policymakers, both within the universities and within the government, to move aggressively to reclaim the hope of millions of students who can make enormous contributions to this society if only given the chance.

This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we support, develop and maintain higher education programs that focus on high academic achievement, while at the same time allowing equitable access to, and progress in, higher learning? This volume focuses not only on a diverse population in higher education, but on creating and supporting a population fundamentally created in, and informed by, fairness. The nature of fairness, and its many dimensions, underpins the discussions here. By focusing on equity, the contributors to this book shine light on conditions and instances of inequity. They explore questions of enrollment in honors programs, and about advising honors students. They discuss people with disabilities in honors programs and colleges, and the general existence or non-existence of civility. They advocate for supporting a wide range of identities and goals, collaboration, and types and styles of pedagogy.. This book considers the role of honors education in enhancing the educational opportunities for all, and presents a call to action to those who seek to do that.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wave of interest in honors programs occurred at American colleges and universities in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although honors education emerged in the U.S. some thirty years earlier, its scope had been limited primarily to private institutions and allowed upper division students to undertake independent reading and research in their major field. In contrast, the period of revitalization and new program formation beginning in the late 1950s was characterized by expansion in several directions, including the introduction of programs for freshmen and sophomores, creation of honors options in general education, adoption of honors education by major public institutions, and collaboration between colleges and secondary schools to identify and encourage academically talented students. The Inter-University Committee on the Superior Student (ICSS), led by Joseph W. Cohen at the University of Colorado at Boulder, was a significant force behind the renewal of interest in honors work during that period. This dissertation traces the formation and activities of the ICSS, which operated from 1957 to 1965 with financial support from major foundations and was succeeded by the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC). The study also explores ideals and practices regarding the organization, content, and role of honors education during the ICSS period, through the words of honors advocates and with specific examples from institutions.

Download or read book The Well-Balanced Leader: Interactive Learning Techniques to Help You Master the 9 Simple Behaviors of Outstanding Leadership written by Ron Roberts and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2011-12-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empower your people, your company—and yourself—with leadership egolibrium egolibrium: the ability to toggle between egocentric and “other-centric” attitudes, values, and behaviors for organizational success There’s no doubt about it: the very best leaders are deeply in tune with their behavior and understand the impact it has on others. As one of the world’s top trainers in the field of accelerated experiential learning, Ron Roberts understands this more keenly than anyone, and in The Well-Balanced Leader, he helps you re-envision your own behavior to become the best leader you can be. Roberts makes the process of finding the perfect leadership balance—what he calls egolibrium—personally enriching and easy to achieve. He begins by identifying the nine human behavioral dichotomies that most affect the quality of leadership: Nonjudgmental / Judgmental Nondefensive / Defensive Relinquishing Control / Controlling Openness to learning / Know it all Doing the right thing / Doing whatever you want Patience / Impatience Letting go / Holding on Acceptance / Resistance Other-centric / Egocentric Everyone’s behaviors fall somewhere between each dichotomy. Using the activities, action steps, games, and thought exercises included for each pair, you’ll figure out exactly where your behaviors land, and then learn how to move that position in one direction or the other to find the right balance or your specific needs. When you transcend your personal needs and focus on the needs of others and of the organization, everyone benefits—including you. The result is not only greater job satisfaction for people at all levels, but greater productivity— regardless of the organization’s field, product, or service. The Well-Balanced Leader gives you the tools for making the small, incremental changes in behavior that lead to big changes in awareness—and huge changes in your leadership effectiveness.
