 * Learning for Living Initiative ** and discussions

**What is it?** The Learning for Living Initiative is a program of study that equips our students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for their ability to develop opportunities, solve complex problems, and experience lives that are both fulfilling and contributory.

**Long term goal:** To create a dynamic academic program that reflects the needs of Stevenson University students.

**Short term goal:** We want to draw from the newly designed, overarching institution-wide student learning goals in order to reconsider Learning for Living categories and develop consensus for these categories. From these categories the objectives for the initiative will be developed.

**Our Principles:** 1. student focus 2. student intent 3. curricular synthesis 4. transparency 5. rigorous and meaningful learning By adhering to these principles, the Learning for Living Council hopes to initiate discussion and review our current program of study to ensure the best curriculum for Stevenson students.

**Tentative Time Line:** 1. Clarify categories of academic responsibility – F2010 2. Clarify objectives for Learning for Living Initiative – SP2011 3. Determine how to reach the objectives by reviewing/re-conceptualizing curricular design. F2011-SP2011 4. Determine how curricular design informs pedagogy. SP2012 5. Design opportunities to demonstrate student achievement - F2011-ongoing process
