In the summer, the mentors were on campus fortwo weeks before participants arrived, to learn how to use software tools and create a PowerPointdeck (with reflection questions) about black and Hispanic inventors. The mentors also learnedabout behavior characteristics of middle school boys and how to create a supportive interaction.They also received training from CARES Mentoring Movement, an organization dedicated tohealing African-American communities through mentoring.Academic Year ProgramDuring the academic year, activities were converted from semester-long to

Boardgames and role-playing games are formats that create community; students interact with oneanother over intellectual, enjoyable, and memorable shared experiences. When the co-authorsplay board games in their classrooms, they note 100% of students in class that day engage ingame play – anecdotally, this activity seems to engage more students than other types of activelearning strategies. And finally, board games and role-playing games are an ideal format becauseany faculty or student can easily modify them.

represents either adeep-rooted misconception or misunderstanding, or an unwillingness to use the coin distributionmethod as a reflection of one's uncertainty in knowing the answer. In either case, these studentresponses do not provide much more information than the traditional, deterministic approach foranswering multiple-choice questions. There is, however, a small population of students thatprovide some reasonable likelihood (>25 coins) that the correct answer could be correct, eventhough it was not the final selection. A threshold of 25 coins is used because that numberrepresents random selection of an answer. In other words, a student with no knowledge wouldtheoretically assign 25 coins to each one of four answer choices.Coin Distribution

So, those who master 21st-century skills like critical thinking, effective communicationand information literacy will be more likely to make a successful transition into universities, technicalschools and the workforce. Studies have found that up to 40 percent of students who enter U.S. collegesand technical schools need remedial coursework, which adds time and expense to their college education.Not surprisingly, these students are less likely to earn a degree or certificate than their better-preparedpeers, putting them at a significant disadvantage in the workforce.Solution: Solving real-world challengesTo build skills for success, we

One of usteaches a variety of ethics courses in the philosophy department. We met two years ago on ateam drawn together to design an ethics module for a course shared across several engineeringmajors. We are now in the process of piloting a full course in engineering ethics that we believewill be adopted by the university as a liberal arts course for engineering majors. This paperdescribes the approach we have pursued, often pointing out how it may be different from othersimilar courses at other
