| Description: | "To be sure, there's a sense in which all learning is integrative, if only because new ideas must somehow connect to prior ones. When educators single out integrative learning for special attention, however, they are usually talking about larger leaps of imagination-about linking ideas and domains that are not easily or typically connected.

In this month's Carnegie Perspectives, "Mary Huber and Molly Breen draw on their work in the Integrative Learning Project, a partnership between Carnegie and the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Recounting narratives they heard in New Orleans about the challenges of responding to Katrina, they argue for the kinds of integrated education needed to prepare students to respond creatively and with commitment to our society's most critical challenges." |
