- Summary:
- "Colleges can let years go by before taking a fresh look at their general-education programs. When they do, disagreements over vision or turf battles often arise among departments, making the task difficult and time-consuming. But a thorough, well-planned program is essential to preparing today's students for an increasingly complex world. The Chronicle's new issue brief, Reforming Gen Ed, is designed to guide you through a revamp of your college's general-education program. It explores what is driving colleges to reform their core, key elements of a 21st-century curriculum, the challenges likely to emerge, and guidance on how to transition from ideas to implementation. Get a copy of the report to hear from colleges that have recently been through a redesign of their gen-ed programs and from experts who discuss the best approaches to the process. Learn how to: assess your institution's readiness and expectations for gen-ed reform; set appropriate goals and get buy-in from key roles and departments; develop the right strategy for your campus; [and] identify potential obstacles and conflict that may surface during the gen-ed reform process"-- Publisher website
