Today?s colleges and universities face increasing pressure to develop programs and curricula that will teach students how to handle life?s unexpected challenges and events. For educators and policymakers, this urgency will only grow as new global trends emerge and social expectations change. This timely book explores what it means for learners to transform themselves and for educators to foster essential skills for learning, leading, teamwork, and adapting with integrity in college and beyond. The authors begin by defining "learning that lasts" as the successful integration of learning, development, and performance. Drawing on two decades of longitudinal studies of student learning in the highly acclaimed curriculum at Alverno College and on leading educational theories, Marcia Mentkowski and her associates set forth a theory of deep and durable learning that includes practical strategies for enabling a wide range of students to cultivate integrative and expansive capabilities...

P. Michael Timpane

Public schools and higher education institutions have tended to function as though they had little in common. In the policy arena, especially, they have often pursued separate agendas. This is the first volume to fully explore ways that public schools and higher education institutions might form more sustainable ties in teacher education, in research, policy, and program development, and in assuring access to higher education. Higher Education and School Reform provides a comprehensive review of the critical relationship between higher education institutions and K–12 schools including an examination of higher education’s vital role in implementing systemic school reform. The contributors define how schools and higher education relate to and depend on each other. They provide historical background and contemporary perspectives on the nature of the relationship between higher education and schools, an analysis of roadblocks to productive interaction, and new models for coordinated...

"Dorrit Cohn provides us with a comprehensive survey of the controversy about the relation between factual and fictional narration, and shows how it might be resolved.
