merchimerchWow I really want to teach at Evergreen college - I've been poking around their website and I am in love. They have team teaching programs and seem to have a really good approach to learning. Here are their educational principles:
Principles that guide Evergreen's educational programs:
Teaching is the central work of the faculty at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Supporting student learning engages everyone at Evergreen -- faculty and staff.
Academic program offerings are interdisciplinary and collaborative, a structure that accurately reflects how people learn and work in their occupations and personal lives.
Students are taught to be aware of what they know, how they learn, and how to apply what they know; this allows them to be responsible for their own education, both at college and throughout their lives.
College offerings involve active participation in learning, rather than passive reception of information, and integrate theory with practical applications.
Evergreen supports community-based learning, with research and applications focused on issues and problems found within students' communities. This principle, as well as the desire to serve diverse placebound populations, guides Evergreen's community-based programs in Tacoma and on Tribal Reservations.
Because learning is enhanced when topics are examined from the perspectives of diverse groups and because such differences reflect the world around us, the college strives to create a rich mix in the composition of its student body, staff, and faculty, and to give serious consideration to issues of social class, age, race, ethnicity, (dis)ability, gender, religious preference, and sexual orientation.
Faculty and staff continually review, assess and modify programs and services to fit changing needs of students and society.
The college serves the needs of a diverse range of students including recently graduated high school students, transfer students, working adults, and students from groups that historically have not attended college.
