Leading the learner-centered campus: an administrator's framework for improving student learning outcomes

As campus leaders face increasing pressure to show that their institutions are doing all they can to achieve successful student learning outcomes, the needfor moving from learner-centered teaching to learner-centered campuses will become increasingly important. This book seeks to change the learner-centered paradigm from an effort by individual faculty working alone in their classroomsto an institution-wide effort led by administrators at all levels, working tomake their campuses into learner-centered environments. As the authors say, ‘Learning must become the preoccupation of the institution throughout its varied processes.’ The great strength of the book is that it proceeds to show how leaders can translate theory into practice, in the series of chapters on advancing the learner-centered agenda.Michael Harris is the provost and vice president for academic affairs and a professor of public policy at Kettering University in Flint, MI.
