I’ll have to read Thatchenkerry, then. Thanks!

Here are two opinion pieces about colleges and educating young people that you might find interesting:

“Are colleges failing?” by Derek Bok

and
“Why are we here?: Colleges ignore life’s biggest questions, and we all pay the price” by Anthony Kronman

What do you do with the one or two students who doesn’t want to take the assessment? Is that student still required to do so?

Culver sounds like a great workplace. I work at a school for children with emotional and behavioral disorders and comorbidities. I wonder if a strengths model like Culver’s could work with extremely challenging populations that are explosive or prone to violence? How would students flourish under this paradigm? In short, how can we teach these individuals prosocial behavior (don’t stab your classmate in the back with a pencil…or crayon…or chair leg) and beef up their strong points?
