A new approach
Robert Zemsky, in his new book,Making Reform Work: The Case for Transforming American Higher Education, mentions a new initiative at the University of Minnesota, a new school with a new approach to teaching and learning.
Today's Chronicle reports on this initiative, in Learning Goes Under a New Microscope.
The focus is on health science, and the approach is to document what works, and what doesn't, in promoting student learning. It should be interesting to watch this one. The commitment is large and the energy behind it is high.
