September 23-24 Dinner and Strategic Meeting and BTtoP Decennial Report
BTtoP celebrated a decade of support and accomplishments with a dinner and strategic meeting on September 23-24, 2011. The Friday evening gathering provided an opportunity to thank friends and colleagues for their support, involvement, and encouragement over the past decade of BTtoP work.
The Saturday strategic meeting was an opportunity to look ahead—to gain from the contributions and perspectives of the scholars, practitioners, administrators, and students gathered to not only reflect on what has been achieved as a Project, but also to determine what were seen as current and relevant realities facing the Project’s continued growth and scope of work in encouraging and sustaining transformational changes—changes that have confirmable positive implications for the learning, psychosocial development, and civic engagement of students.
A “decennial report” created for the meeting highlights the history and achievements of the national Project over the past decade and is available for viewing online and a transcript/summary of the meeting will soon be available.
Bringing Theory to Practice Publishes New Book on Transforming Undergraduate Education
Drawing on ten years of Project publications, conferences, and other scholarship, Transforming Undergraduate Education: Theory that Compels and Practices that Succeed (edited by Director Don Harward; case studies edited by National Evaluator Ashley Finley) was released by Rowman & Littlefield publishers in November 2011. Copies are now available for purchase. Twenty-four authors and coauthors of chapters and ten case studies document the need for, the nature of, and the practices that result in transformative change.
