Liberal Learning and the Realization of Our Humanity David Burrows Lawrence University
Outline I. Classical model of education vs. career preparation: Possible Synthesis II. Human Nature as a basis for education models: Making Connections-Action-Self-Direction-Language III. Characteristics of the Curriculum IV. Specific Course Structure V. Student Trajectory: Tower Learning VI. Human Potential
I. Classical Model vs. Career Preparation Development of the Mind Preparation for a Career
The Classical Model Teach knowledge, and this will lead to virtue
The Classical Model: Transformation of the Individual Mastery of great ideas and concepts: Matthew Arnold- “The best of what has been thought and said.”

II. Human Nature Education as Developing the Full Use of our Human Characteristics
Ideas and Abilities through Making Connections We look beyond the immediate experience of our senses to create ideas and develop abilities by making connections.
Motivation for Action We want to engage in activity leading to a goal
Motivation for Self-Direction- We want to choose what we do
Language We have the ability to express ideas and create new ones, using production tools that are perhaps unique to humans
III. Characteristics of Curriculum 1. Making Connections
2. Construction of projects with a significant component of action planning
3. Heavy emphasis on study of significant issues
4. Use of Language
IV Specific Course Structure • First year course that includes some choice of a problem or project followed by “sorting” into a section that addresses that problem or project. Students with similar projects would be grouped into one section • Modification of entry level courses to include a project • Continued enhancement throughout the curriculum
V. Trajectory- Tower Learning
VI. Human Potential “The gift of our humanity is the potential for learning, thinking and acting. The realization of our humanity is the fulfillment of that potential ” THANKS FOR WATCHING
