Transforming a University into an ACCEL University -- References -- IndexIn What Universities Can Be, the high-profile educator Robert J. Sternberg writes thoughtfully about the direction of higher education in this country and its potential to achieve future excellence. Sternberg presents, for the first time, his concept of the ACCEL model, in which institutions of higher education are places where students learn to become Active Concerned Citizens and Ethical Leaders. One of the greatest problems in our society is a lack of leaders who understand the importance of behaving in ethical ways for the common good of all. At a time when new models of education are sorely needed, universities have the opportunity to claim the education of future leaders as their mission.In the course of laying out the ACCEL concept and how such a model might be achieved, Sternberg offers many insights into the realities of higher education as it is practiced today and suggests ways that we could move in a better direction, one that would produce graduates who make the world a better place in which to live. Sternberg's compelling narrative and convincing argument address all aspects of universities, such as admissions, financial aid, instruction and assessment, retention and graduation, student life, diversity, finances, athletics, governance, and marketing. This book is essential reading for educators and laypeople who are interested in learning how our universities work and how they could work better.Education, HigherAims and objectivesUnited StatesEducation, HigherSocial aspectsUnited StatesEducation, HigherMoral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesUniversities and collegesUnited StatesEducation, HigherAims and objectivesEducation, HigherSocial aspectsEducation, HigherUniversities and colleges378/.01Sternberg Robert J.62274MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808178903321What universities can be3997700UNINA02296oam 2200565I 450 991095711000332120251117081304.01-315-49820-01-315-49821-91-315-49819-710.4324/9781315498218 (CKB)3710000000748744(MiAaPQ)EBC4586800(Au-PeEL)EBL4586800(CaPaEBR)ebr11235139(CaONFJC)MIL938163(OCoLC)953604039(OCoLC)956466829(FINmELB)ELB139324(BIP)63363889(BIP)8877973(EXLCZ)99371000000074874420180706e20152004 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierThe changing role of unions new forms of representation /edited by Phanindra V.

U.S. union organizing : any hope for a rebound?With the trend toward multinational corporations, free trade pacts and dismantling import barriers, organized labour has been steadily losing ground in the United States. To reverse this trend, this book argues that US unions must create ties with unions in other countries.Issues in work and human resources.Labor unionsUnited StatesLabor unions331.88/0973Wunnava Phanindra V1864091MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957110003321The changing role of unions4470809UNINA
