Assessment and Scalability: Developing and Refining an Experiential-Learning Program at a Regional Comprehensive University
No full textThe concept and practice of experiential education is rapidly expanding as universities seek to strengthen and integrate high-impact practices under experiential education plans and centers. While this integration has the potential to create synergy across disparate experiential learning offerings and to provide the benefits of experiential learning to all enrolled students, across majors and modality, scalability and assessment present a challenge. Many experiential learning practices were designed to serve a subset of enrolled students, and are resource-intensive in terms of faculty development and content delivery, assessment, and financial resources required. This paper presents the development and in-progress refinement of a experiential learning program at a regional comprehensive university in the southeast. The goal is to provide a detailed description of one EL program at one particular type of university, in order to add heterogeneity to the options university leaders can use as models. In addition, while this program has faced stumbling blocks, we believe it presents a strong template for other EL programs, with particular strength in comprehensive assessment
The Land and the A.I.R.: Revisioning Experiential Learning on a Canadian Campus
No full textIn Canada, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission highlights our roles as educators to reflect Indigenous cultures and knowledges in post-secondary teaching and learning. Developing an inclusive definition of experiential learning in consultation with Indigenous scholars is essential. This newly revised experiential learning framework represents a living document shaped by ongoing dialogue and input from the campus community, reflecting our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation and holistic education. Grounded in the principles of holistic pedagogy inherent in Indigenous ways of learning, we propose a renewed definition of experiential learning – learning by doing, being, connecting and reflecting. This paper introduces the A.I.R Framework (Authentic experience, Intentional design, Reflection), which is a flexible model for high-quality, inclusive experiential learning that is adaptable to both curricular and co-curricular contexts. We also provide a visual tool for portraying and describing experiential learning in terms of the primary focus or purpose of the experiential learning and the environment in which the experiential learning occurs
Women’s Facilities: Addressing the Unsanitary Conditions
Get PDFThis study explores into the unsanitary conditions and abuse of women in U.S. prisons, exposing the interconnected concerns of overcrowding, sexual assault, mental health difficulties, and insufficient healthcare. The study examines the historical change in prison systems from rehabilitation to punishment, which has resulted in the appalling status of women\u27s prisons. Sexual violence, strip searches, and a lack of competent healthcare all add to detained women\u27s despair. The study recommends legislative framework change, citing foreign examples such as the Bangkok Rules and Norway\u27s rehabilitative approach. It underlines California\u27s Public Safety Realignment Act\u27s achievements in decreasing overcrowding and improving living conditions. The research suggests comprehensive staff support systems and the reinforcement of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) as a shift from a punitive to a procedural justice approach. The MeToo movement is widely seen as a change agent, elevating voices and fighting for better living circumstances, healthcare, and social transformation. Finally, the research emphasizes the importance of structural reforms by drawing on successful foreign practices and underlining the larger implications of humane treatment for the well-being of jailed women and society as a whole
Police Use of Force and the Racial Disparities in Policing
Get PDFExcessive use of police force is a serious issue that has captured the headlines of the news and media we consume. However, in policing racial disparities and the use of force police use on specific minority racial groups can create an elevated lifetime risk for these individuals. Thus, the explored question: How does police use of force connect to racial disparities in policing in police stops of individuals, lethal and less-lethal police tactics, and the racial differential treatment of African Americans and Latinos? The history of policing, police misconduct behavior through racial bias stops, the impact of police force tactics (CEDs, Batons, Sprays), and the police and public perception of racial discriminatory treatment is reviewed to gain clarity. An analysis of intervention strategies through implicit bias training for officers, de-escalation training, procedural justice training to build police-civilian transparency, and a change from policing’s command and control model to community policing are assessed. Altogether, this paper aims to discuss the connection of police use of force and racial disparities in policing to recognize problems and provide possible solutions to reform the system to eliminate racial injustice and foster the maintenance of police duty in equitable protection and safety for all communities
