Crafting A Learning Framework, Part 1 | Academically Speaking | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
Some time ago I asked our senior academic managers to revisit the essential elements of our student learning environment. As the college continued to grow rapidly, we knew re-examining our basic assumptions and practices related to student learning would only get more difficult as the numbers of faculty, courses, students and learning resources increased exponentially.

One area of particular interest was the core ideology about learning science. Our entire academic team — including vice presidents, deans, faculty and specialists in instructional design outcomes and learning resources — engaged in a yearlong review of some seemingly simple but critical questions.

While test scores can predict academic success, self-management and relationship skills may better prepare students to thrive and graduate.
Peter Mellow's insight:
This article in the Atlantic made me reflect about our way of learning and the way we work. We often focus on technology solutions as that is the rapidly changing landscape we currently live in, and these solutions are often enabling. However while I've tried to weave social learning into the fabric of my work here, perhaps we need to consider emotional aspects as well?

I love this “One thing I’m very well aware of is the (higher education) model is going to need to change and it will change fast,” he said. “I think education is going to be completely different 10 years from now.

As leaders and managers in higher education, we often find ourselves in situations that require us to think outside the box in our interactions with faculty to continually improve student success in our classrooms. Our instructors are the face of our college in student interactions and should always be “top of mind.” Instructors help us meet and often exceed our goals and our students’ expectations, but what do we do when we have low performers?
