Podcast Summary Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Ashley Finley, Vice President of Research and Senior Advisor to the President for the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), where they talk about the study "On the Same Page? Administrator and Faculty Views on What Shapes College Learning and Student Success."
Podcast Highlights
- There's a difference between what faculty are teaching and what employers feel are the most valuable skills they need.
- Despite broad consensus on the importance of mindsets, most campus administrations regard the intentional development of these outcomes to be within the purview of student affairs rather than as part of the curriculum. Higher education should focus on moving mindsets into the curriculum.
- Some of the best campus practices include: increasing transparency for all stakeholders, establishing equity goals, elevating the importance of civic skills and global learning, and moving mindsets into the formal curriculum.
