Student-Led Quality Teams In The Classroom, Cheryl Achterberg, Amanda Wetzel, Emily Whitbeck

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

The central aim of all honors programs is to produce the highest quality of learning experiences possible to students with high motivation and exceptional academic ability (Brown, 2001).

Teaching “The Other Legacy,” Learning About Ourselves: Latin America In Honors, Celia Lopez-Chavez

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

These words, written in 1968 by Paulo Freire in his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, were current in the 1960’s and still are at the beginning of the 21st century. For Freire, the ultimate goal is that students should learn to practice freedom in the classroom and to be committed to the society in which they belong. According to Freire, values and ideas should be a topic of discussion in the classroom in order for students to reflect on how to transform or create a better society.
