Philosophy:
It is our belief that the best way for students to acquire knowledge
and prepare for challenges in their life and work is to give them real
world situations, to guide and facilitate learning, and to allow them
a chance to experience success. This belief takes form when we apply
the EIC (Environment as an Integrating Context) approach that focuses
on project-based, inquiry-style learning that is student-centered and
ends in action steps.
The process
provides both knowledge and the skills to apply the knowledge. It gives
the students an investment in their learning – it provides them
with a chance to demonstrate their capabilities in planning, experimentation,
and action steps. We hope that we will be creating graduates with skills
and leadership for the next steps in their life.
Schools
participating in this program thus far include University
of Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa, Northland
College, Ashland, Wisconsin, and Carroll College, Waukesha, Wisconsin.
