Creating Learning Communities: A Practical Guide to Winning Support, Organizing for Change, and Implementing Programs |
| Nancy S. Shapiro; Jodi H. Levine |
| "One of the most powerful ideas in higher education today is transforming campuses into learning communities. At last, Shapiro and Levine have given us--faculty, students, and administrators--a handbook on how to accomplish this. It is one of those too rare and much-needed volumes on translating theory into practice by authors who have actually done it."--Arthur Levine, president, Teachers College, Columbia University
"Shapiro and Levine convince us that learning communities address what we now know about how students learn inside and outside the classroom. Read this book for conceptual rationale, practical answers to implementation questions, and passionate voices that speak for a social contract among students, faculty members, and institutions, a contract enacted and assessed for the benefit of all."< | | |
