Pathways for Dreams
We need to provide education that does not favor one discipline over another. We do not need nurses whose real passion is theater. We do not need business managers whose real passion is painting. We need institutions that see past the conformity of the industrial approach to embrace an educational model that encourages the pursuit of passion.
Farm to Desk Education
The generation of students entering higher education bring with them various world views, backgrounds, and dreams that require adapting to their learning styles and meeting them where they are in life. The resources are changing. Education can be more accessible in a variety of different ways thanks to advancements in technology. The challenge is integrating these resources into learning models that best serve students’ needs.
Disrupting the Environment
The word disruption can cause fear and paralysis. We think that something bad is going to follow. What disruption really does is challenges the status quo. It can create pathways for opportunities.
You Can't Measure Heart
Let’s pay attention to trends, use predictive analytics, embrace big data, but never forget the focus is on students first.
Through the Lens
The premise behind higher education was to create opportunities for individuals to pursue knowledge as an investment in our country and its citizens. It was an opportunity for a younger generation to learn from previous generations while contributing new thoughts, ideas, and perspectives. As the world continues to evolve, higher education has been slow to keep up with the needs and demands of a changing generation.
Thankful for the Sides
It is only when these problems cease to exist that the world becomes stagnate. It is the challenges, obstacles, and desire to improve that drive individuals to participate in an environment which fosters innovation and in turn creates a brighter future.
