Send Word documents or PDFs to info@kon.org Adviser As Teacher Rubric Philosophy - Effective education reaches far beyond the classroom through a co-curricular approach to student activities. Among the goals of student organizations is the opportunity for development of the whole person and for creating a sense of belonging. A critical component is leadership development, which may encompass experiences at the university, college, department, or community levels. The adviser holds the key to the progression of leadership development. The Adviser as Teacher approach to advising is antithetical to the laissez-faire position, which holds that the responsibilities for organizations reside fully with students.

These activities utilize the standard research or creative practices of the relevant discipline with the intent of contributing the resulting original work to the scrutiny of the greater university scholarly and artistic communities.” Category: Undergraduate Research Details -> Undergraduate Research Presentation Rubric Undergraduate research is becoming more important in higher education as evidence is accumulating that clear, inquiry-based learning, scholarship, and creative accomplishments can and do foster effective, high levels of student learning.
