Preparing Students for Success Beyond the Classroom
About this book
Today's students seek an education that connects classroom learning to their future success, both personal and professional. Teaching Life Skills in the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Preparing Students for Success Beyond the Classroom is a practical guide for faculty and academic leaders who wish to meet this need by intentionally teaching and assessing the skills that employers most value: critical thinking, teamwork, emotional intelligence, cultural competence, ethical reasoning, and coachability.
Grounded in research from higher education and employer surveys, this book provides evidence-based strategies for teaching and assessing key life skills, while still honoring the traditions of the liberal arts. Chapters feature detailed guidance and creative prompts for using AI tools to further enhance instructional design. By connecting academic experiences with students' long-term goals, this book reaffirms the enduring relevance of a liberal arts education and offers a sustainable path forward in a rapidly changing world.
