I’ve been expending a lot of bandwidth lately reading and thinking about the meta story of school, not just the history of the system and of pedagogy, but, more specifically, the motivations behind the story we’re currently living and how they effect the potential for deep and powerful learning that we all say we want for kids. That means diving into some new (to me) edu-historians and thinkers and trying to connect what I’m learning to others who have been tweaking my thinkin

One of the first lessons I learned when I came to college was that I have more free time than I did in high school, but I also have more things to do. I am not only taking classes at Hope, but I am involved in different jobs and student organizations. This is also the reality of most students at Hope College. There are over 60 student organizations and clubs that anyone can be part of on campus!

As you embark on developing a curricular approach for your division or your department there are a few key concepts that you should keep in mind. Think of these as a set of reminders and guiding principles. They represent the core of the philosophy behind the curricular approach. Curricular approaches are focused on learning.

Higher Ed Connects: Student Success Blogs

FEBRUARY 15, 2020

by Terri E. Givens. San Diego in February is a great place to gather to discuss student success, pathways and course scheduling. As colleges grapple with a diversifying student body, and more emphasis is being placed on graduation rates and employability, companies like Ad Astra are working with institutions to find new ways to use space and time. I consider access to higher education to be one of the most important missions of The Center for Higher Education Leadership.

There are many symbols that represent Hope College: the anchor, the Flying Dutchman and the cross all embody what Hope stands for. In 2019, Hope inaugurated a new president who might be considered yet another symbol. President Scogin represents the past, present and future of Hope College. As a graduate from Hope, President Scogin knows what it is like to be a student here.

For many high school seniors and their families, the college selection process includes a comparison of financial aid offers. As you narrow your list and weigh your options, there are a few important questions to consider. Keep this list handy as you compare financial aid packages: What is the renewal criteria for my financial aid? Does your financial aid package include an academic scholarship?

One of the key features of ACPA’s Institute on the Curricular Approach (formerly the Residential Curriculum Institute) is the “Showcase” sessions. Showcases are presentations from individual schools that have adopted the curricular approach. Functioning similar to case studies, these showcases dive into one institution’s work with the model and the challenges and successes they’ve had along the way.

Higher Ed Connects: Diversity

FEBRUARY 15, 2020

by Isabel Thottam. In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. in January, The University of Montana shared the photos of students who won an essay contest in which they asked participants to write about the impact MLK has had on their life. When they shared the photos on their Facebook page, the university was condemned for being tone deaf to the fact that all four winners were white women.

Do you know what Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston, Casey Neistat, and Michelle Obama all have in common? They all dedicate at least part of their success to their daily routines. Each of these celebrities attribute success to routine and more specifically, waking up early. As a new student at Hope, it is easy to fall into the typical college routine of 3 am nights and 12 pm mornings.

At some point in the last couple of months, someone recommended that I read Seth Kreisberg’s 1992 book Transforming Power: Domination, Empowerment, and Education. To whomever that person is, sincere thanks. It’s an amazing read. And it’s connecting really deeply with my recent thinking about the tension between schools as a public and private good and the greatest aspirations we have for students as they experience school.
