A
Record of Successful Reform Through Grants
The Consortium for the Advancement of Private Higher Education (CAPHE)
grants have often been at the forefront of innovative approaches to meeting
the changing needs of students and society:
|
Costs And Pricing
|
A number of CAPHE grantees have undertaken careful study and realignment
of their operating costs and tuition pricing structures.
|
|
Teaching And Learning
|
Grants for faculty and staff development have helped colleges improve
their learning theory and pedagogy-resulting in new curricula and
teaching strategies for such purposes as serving adult students,
removing barriers to women and minorities in science, improving
students' writing and problem solving skills, and increasing student
retention.
|
|
Diversity
|
Grant recipients have improved instruction for a diverse student
constituency, and improved students' knowledge and understanding
of diversity in a democratic society.
|
|
Technology
|
CAPHE grants have helped colleges use technology in teaching, learning,
and campus administration; and have aided faculty in designing courseware
and new course delivery systems.
|
|
Contributions To Community
|
Participating colleges have developed programs to serve disadvantaged
precollege students, bolster community service programs, and participate
in local K-16 educational reform.
|
|
Teacher
Preparation
|
CAPHE support has helped colleges to strengthen their teacher preparation
programs, and to recruit more highly qualified liberal arts graduates
into the profession.
|
|
International Education
|
Several colleges have improved their students' international understanding
and experience through the development of area studies programs
and curricula, and new, interactive relationships with colleges
and organizations throughout the world.
