It's time to change how we teach because it's the only way to change how we learn When a student begins to learn, they bring with them all their previous experiences, opinions, perceptions, and assumptions
It's all of these elements that make up how they approach learning something new Traditional teaching asks a student to memorize facts from textbook examples and lectures The sage on the stage experience Instead, we are asking students to look inward, and relate the learning to their own experience, the guide on the side Learning now takes place at the point where a student changes their perception of a subject by thinking critically, add their previous experiences and how what they know and what they feel all fold together into their new ideas
In September 2014, Sheridan will introduce five new business degrees This new model of learning is the foundation of each degree The classroom becomes a place of experience with guides on the side Working with real industry challenges, students apply what they have learned and show what they know This is transformational learning at its best, learning by experience and learning by design
We aren't just making degree-holding graduates who have memorized facts We are growing passionate, empowered, unique people who can approach industry challenges with essential competencies, empathy, compassion, and integrity We are growing change makers for the new innovation economy that think differently Sheridan is working towards a world-class standard of higher education right here, right now
