What is a Learning College? - Professional Development
A Learning College is a new term to capture the core values we have always held dear at Ohlone College. A Learning College promotes life long learning for all and a creative, innovative and effective teaching and learning process.
Excerpts from Ohlone College philosophical Guidelines, 1969:
- Focuses on the work and dignity of each student.
- Focuses on learning.
- (Demonstrates) flexibility in meeting student needs.
- Perceives achievement as a function of individual growth and not of time alone.
- Personnel, functions and services…(shall exist)…to meet need of students…(and not exist) upon the sole fact that they are a usual occurrence at a community college.
- Enables each student to acquire the trait of learning as a lifelong pattern.
- Each member of the staff contributes to the process of guidance and counseling.
- Seeks and expects constant re-examination as a natural process of making appropriate modifications.
- Seeks innovation, supports creativity and imagination, …conformity for its own sake is ignored.
