The 21st century knowledge-based economy has imposed great demands on higher education institutions and their faculty in regard to the learning outcomes of their undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs.
Are graduates attaining the necessary skills and competencies to compete and thrive in the new economy?
Is faculty focusing on mere knowledge transmission with an attendant focus on lecturing or is faculty embracing a model which emphasizes knowledge building with a focus on collaborative and supported solving of complex problems?
Our solutions combine an in-depth analysis, a customized scalable intervention, and a program evaluation that will help:
Professors participating in the program can expect to come away with an innovative understanding of the principles of effective teaching and, perhaps even more important from a practical point of view, a “toolkit” of immediately useable ideas to create an active, engaging classroom where deep content understanding and high-level communication and thinking skill development is likely on the part on the students.
Upon completion of our intervention, institutions engaged with the program become self-sufficient to scale and measure the outcomes of faculty and student development using the TALBOK™ framework.
