Present Successes and Future Challenges in Honors Education is the first volume in an edited series examining the proliferation of honors programs and colleges in American higher education. While honors education has become ubiquitous in American higher education, this transformation has happened without systematic attempts to align what honors means across institutions, and absent a universally agreed upon definitions of what honors is and what it might aspire to be in the future. This generates possibility and flexibility, while also creating rather serious challenges. The contributors document the decades-long structural transformations that led to the rise of honors education while also providing perspective on the present and future challenges in honors education. The chapters address such issues as ensuring equity in honors, how we ought to think about student success and frame this for external stakeholders, and how the diffusion of honors-inspired pedagogies elsewhere in the university forces us to rethink our mission and our day-to-day practice. Throughout, their investigations are grounded in the present while turning a keen and perceptive eye to the future.

This volume is constructed around several significant questions, relevant to every honors program and national perspective. These questions are: “How do various nations view honors education?”, “How do ideas about honors achievements compare internationally?”, “Who defines honors education in each nation and how similar are those definitions from place to place?”, and “What do nations consider most significant when an undergraduate is said to “graduate with honors”?” The cross-disciplinary, intersecting epistemology of honors education stands out worldwide. No matter whether it is known as “honors”, “honours” or “talent-development”, honors education is associated with a student-centric ethos of attainment-setting, and with comprehensive and often creative approaches to teaching and learning. Today, in our more globally connected world, there is good reason to closely and critically consider how an exploration of honors education worldwide can empower both educators and students to match personal and communal aspirations with educational outcomes.

What exactly are the characteristics of honors pedagogy? What are the teaching strategies that are particularly relevant and successful for academically gifted and motivated students? In spite of the substantial body of literature about the practice of honors education, largely referring to the United States, very little systematic and empirical research has been done about honors pedagogy. This study contributes to a better understanding of honors pedagogies, focusing not just on what might distinguish honors teaching and learning from standard expectations and methodologies but also on how honors pedagogy offers both instructors and students an opportunity to fundamentally rethink their philosophy of education. The present study points out the similar and different approaches and dispositions in American and Dutch honors teaching. Cultural differences, distinctive educational systems, and diverse priorities play a role in defining both the shared and unique perspectives on honors education in both countries. Therefore, a baseline comparison is made between American and Dutch honors teachers with respect to their teaching strategies.

Annmarie Guzy realized she had some concerns about teaching honors courses as she prepared to teach at the same University where she had been an honors student herself. She enrolled in a summer seminar on teaching basic writing in order to expand her teaching horizons beyond the honors student mentality, and to address some of her concerns and possible prejudices developed during her own honors experience. Reading about students who cared a great deal about their academic performance but who were truly struggling to build their writing skills not only made her more appreciative of her own abilities with writing, but also caused her to think about composition pedagogy in different ways. How had the educational system failed these students? How had common pedagogical practice failed these students? How early in their academic careers had these students been written off by faculty, by administrators, and eventually by themselves? She found that the actual grouping and labeling of basic writers and basic writing particularly interested her. For example, concepts such as diagnosing writing problems, offering remedial course work, and curing writers' difficulties revolve around medical terminology. At one level, these terms suggest that writing problems are a symbolic type of illness for which students come to the composition course and/or to the writing lab to be "cured," but at a deeper level, these terms imply that something is fundamentally wrong with the student if he or she cannot write in the manner that the institution (another medical reference) deems acceptable. While focusing on the grouping and labeling of basic writers, Guzy began to make connections between basic writing and honors education. Students at the upper end of the academic spectrum are also grouped and labeled, and these labels change over the course of a student's education: elementary school children are "gifted," "talented," or "exceptional," and as they progress through high school and college, they become "honors students." These labels and the programs that they represent carry with them certain advantages (e.g., specialized curriculum, extracurricular opportunities, and increased funding), but these students are still removed from the educational norm, just as remedial students are--they go to different classrooms, they read different textbooks, and they complete different exercises. Although these consequences are preferable to those that students labeled "remedial" must endure, they still affect students negatively, and the negative effect of labeling is an important similarity between basic writers and honors students. To further explore this similarity, Guzy began researching the labeling and grouping of composition students at both ends of the education spectrum at the university level, and was surprised and disappointed by the dearth of material about honors composition at the university level. She discovered that, for whatever reason, research on university-level honors composition is quite limited. This project begins to address this dearth in research by answering basic questions about composition courses and other types of written communication projects commonly found within contemporary honors programs. This monograph contains the following chapters: Chapter 1: Why Should We Research Honor Composition?; Chapter 2: Twentieth-Century Developments in Honors Education and Composition Instruction; Chapter 3: A Survey of Writing Courses and Projects in the Contemporary Honors Program; Chapter 4: Guidelines and Suggestions for Honors Composition Courses and Projects; and Chapter 5: Conclusion. Appended are the following: (1) The Sixteen Major Features of a Full Honors Program; (2) Cover Letter to Questionnaire for NCHC Member Programs; (3) Questionnaire for NCHC Member Programs; (4) Question Bank for Follow-Up Interviews; (5) Honors Thesis Rationale and Support for Azusa Pacific University; (6) List of Follow-Up Interview Participants.

The fruitful, God-related life develops with intentional and repeated attention to five essential practices that are critical for our growth in Christ. Radical Hospitality. Passionate Worship. Intentional Faith Development. Risk-Taking Mission and Service. Extravagant Generosity. These practices open our heart—to God, to others, to a life that matters, a life rich with meaning, relationship, and contribution. They help us flourish."

Continuity and Innovation in Honors College Curricula is the second volume in the edited series Honors Education in Transition, which examines the proliferation of honors programs and colleges in American higher education. While honors education has become ubiquitous in American higher education, this transformation has happened without systematic attempts to align what honors means across institutions, and absent a universally agreed upon definitions of what honors is and what it might aspire to be in the future. This generates possibility and flexibility, while also creating rather serious challenges. This book examines dynamic attempts to think creatively about curriculum, a hallmark of honors in higher education. The authors document and discuss innovative attempts ranging from service-learning to international education to innovative ways to blend disciplinary models of pedagogy with honors teaching. Throughout, their investigations are grounded in the present while turning a keen and perceptive eye to the future.
