Dennis Swender's insight:
While I am happy to be working with teachers and students to help develop #FutureLeaders, the findings of this Gallup report are alarming.
Here are a few facts that tell the tale of our poor student engagement in schools and its relationship to our declining economy:
Student engagement in school drops precipitously from fifth grade through 12th grade. About three quarters of elementary school kids (76%) are engaged in school, while only 44% of high school kids are engaged. The longer students stay in school, the less engaged they become. If we were doing this right, the trend would be going in the opposite direction.

This education is a vast waste of the resources and potential of the young. It is boring beyond belief and useless–except to the powers and interests that depend on it. When A Ukranian student, a three-week arrival on these shores, writes the best-organized and most profound essay in English of the class, American education has something to answer for–especially to our youth. |

Good point. All to often, the Syllabus becomes a monster of a document to read because it is developed to satisfy multiple audiences (faculty, administration, accreditors, etc.).

Students love learning about the Holocaust because they hear bits and pieces of this tragedy for ever and ever but seldom hear any depth. I have prepared a two hour podcast that I have students listen to (there, sadly, isn’t enough time to do it face-to-face) that is mostly about the Holocaust but also includes information about other human atrocities of the era. - Click through for more and [AUDIO] podcast with slide show - Via Community Village Sites

... "This case changed the face of America in away, unlike any other decision. The Brown case, as it is known, was not the first such case regarding civil rights argued before the court it is worth mentioning. It was just the most significant of what some would say was the final battle in the courts that had been fought by African American parents since 1849, which started with Roberts v.

Il existe certainement des échanges fructueux à mettre en oeuvre entre ces deux domaines de plus en plus reliés par l'adoption de démarches en lien avec une approche par compétences. Mais attention, les liens doivent être aussi réfléchi et il est important que l'enseignement supérieur maintienne sa dimension pluraliste et indépendante.
