It aims to provide insight into what they did and why they did it and to provide a candid account of what has worked and what has not worked. Although all institutions are different, they believe their experiences can provide guidance to others who want to change their general education curriculum or who are being asked to teach core or general education courses in new ways.\u003cbr\u003e The book also includes short essays by a number of faculty colleagues who have been teaching in BC's new innovative core courses, providing practical advice about the challenges of trying interdisciplinary teaching, team teaching, project-or problem-based learning, intentional reflection, and other new structures and pedagogies for the first time. It will also address some of the nuts and bolts issues they have encountered when trying to create structures to make curriculum change sustainable over time and to foster ongoing innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e: Curriculum Revision and the Foundations of American Higher Education\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDavid Quigley\u003c\/i\u003e   xi\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART I: INNOVATION AND THE LIBERAL ARTS CORE\u003c\/b\u003e   1\u003cbr\u003e Choreographing the Conversation: How Designers Helped Clear an Academic Logjam\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWilliam Bole\u003c\/i\u003e   3\u003cbr\u003e What Do We Know?
