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. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives$zUnited States 606 $aEducation, Higher$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEducation, Higher$vMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 0$aUniversities and colleges 676 $a378/.01 700 $aSternberg$b Robert J.$062274 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466208103321 996 $aWhat universities can be$92477232 997 $aUNINA
