Synopsis
Sustaining and Improving Learning Communities is the long awaited follow-up to the groundbreaking book Creating Learning Communities. The authors continue their exploration of the concept of learning communities as an innovation in undergraduate curricular instruction that allow students to actively participate in their own education, and deepen and diversify their college experience. Jodi Levine Laufgraben and Nancy S. Shapiro address a wide range of topics such as campus culture for sustaining learning communities, learning communities and the curriculum, pedagogies, and faculty development., In this new book, the authors of Creating Learning Communities (0-7879-4462-9) advance the exploration of this important innovation in undergraduate education. They address issues involved in enhancing, sustaining and expanding learning communities, such as campus culture, curriculum, pedagogies, and faculty development., Sustaining and Improving Learning Communities is the long awaited follow-up to the groundbreaking book Creating Learning Communities. The authors continue their exploration of the concept of learning communities as an innovation in undergraduate curricular instruction that allow students to actively participate in their own education, and deepen and diversify their college experience. Jodi Levine Laufgraben and Nancy S. Shapiro address a wide range of topics such as campus culture for sustaining learning communities, learning communities and the curriculum, pedagogies, and faculty development. Learning communities have come of age. With their first volume Creating Learning Communities as a foundation, Laufgraben and Shapiro show how this important movement has become powerfully woven with other strands of undergraduate reform including diversity, assessment, and new forms of pedagogy. Together the two books are an unbeatable combination. --Peter T. Ewell, vice president, National Center for Higher Education Management Systems Drawing on the authors rich experience with learning communities in every sector of higher education, Sustaining and Improving Learning Communities is a must-read for faculty and academic administrators committed to using learning communities as a strategy for achieving deep, lasting, relevant, and transformative student learning experiences! --Louis S. Albert, president, West Campus-Pima Community College Chock-full of practical ideas, useful checklists and tables, and institutional case studies, this is a must-read for learning community directors, teachers, and anyone else wanting to improve college teaching and learning. --Mary Stuart Hunter, director, National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, University of South Carolina
