Another School’s Experience with Reforming Gen Ed – Temple

This article describes Temple University’s experience with reforming their General Education curriculum.  Note how they contrast a focus on teaching with a focus on content:

“Speaking more broadly of the new general education curriculum, Cutler contrasts Temple’s approach with standard distribution requirements, in which students are required to take a certain number of courses in a variety of disciplines or divisions. “It’s not distribution, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, that’s being sought after, but rather an attempt to take those pieces and make something larger out of them,” he says.”
