Dale Stephens: UnCollege | Steve Hargadon | Apr 28 2011 by Steve Hargadon

Increasingly careerist students, at colleges and universities alike, are attracted to work-integrated learning opportunities. This week, Ken continues his series on innovations in teaching and learning with a closer look at Experiential Learning. Colleges like Sault College have been promoting hands-on learning opportunities for years, like their Field Camp for outdoor recreation students. https://youtu.be/gCfa_LFTRHQ Calgary’s SAIT Polytechnic emphasizes the value of real-world, career-focused education in their “Get Real” commercials. https://youtu.be/9cOUKB6nfic Algonquin College nicely shows how a daycare, flight deck, kichen, and construction site are all “my classroom.” https://youtu.be/AXnbZhIoU64 Universities Canada reports than more than 50% of undergrad students at Canadian universities now get some form of experiential learning opportunity – although this could be as simple as a few labs, or as intense as a co-op work term or study abroad experience. The so-called “Maker movement” is taking hold on hundreds of campuses across North America. At the University of Southern California, the Iovine & Young Academy (named for the two Beats Electronics co-founders) offers space for problem-based learning, 3D printing, rapid prototyping and more. Even smaller institutions, like BC’s Douglas College, have opened MakerSpaces, sometimes in prominent public locations. New YouTube CreatorSpaces are opening around the world, recently at Ryerson University. Workshops are open to creators with at least 1,000 channel subscribers. (We could really use your help getting to 1,000 – have you subscribed to this channel yet?) It’s telling that a recent survey of graduating college and university students found that the 3 most important “academic activities,” in their opinion, were internships, co-ops, and work experiences. Colleges have been experimenting with creating on-campus work opportunities like the student-managed farm at Lakeland College in Vermilion Alberta, the oldest and largest in the world. Or the campus hotel and conference centre at Olds College. Or the “Learning Enterprises” established at Niagara College, which give hundreds of students work experience and often generate a million-dollar surplus for the college to boot! At St Lawrence College, the on-campus ad agency “Spark” gives marketing students experience, and also creates videos, video games, and other digital resources for college instructors. But we may just be streaming kids into career-directed education too young. Since 1935, Raisbeck Aviation High School, just outside Seattle, has focused students on careers in aviation from grade 9 onward. NAIT and the Edmonton School Boards have announced a new “Collegiate for Science, Technology & Trades” high school to open adjacent to the NAIT campus. Calgary’s West Island College, an independent high school, offers several “Institute” programs focused on careers in Business, Health, and Engineering. It’s no wonder, either, that as students place more and more emphasis on work experiences, many are opting to take a “gap year” off from school to pursue employment instead. Uncollege.org is capitalizing on this movement, offering students a self-directed gap year complete with travel, mentors, and internship for just $16,000. It’s like university, but without the classes or the grades. Finally, just #ICYMI, we highlight a “Strive” video from Nova Scotia Community College that focuses on one student’s experiential learning journey in the Therapeutic Recreation program. https://youtu.be/ilcPb8CzuzE Next time, we’ll take a look at one specific form of experiential learning that seems to be in ascendance: campus incubators and accelerators.

Today's guest is Rainesford Alexandra. She is a writer and education activist who believes learning should be creative and synonymous with “hope” — not just something out of a textbook. She is a DIY learner who is starting to make an impact in the world of education, by example and by her writing and speeches. She was recently named to the Advisory Board for SXSWedu. After trading the Dean's List for a gap year, Rainesford spent time out of school publishing writing with The Huffington Post, Zouch Magazine, and UnCollege.org. Combining her love of writing and background in ballet, she founded an ongoing interview series with up-and-coming artists, The Young Artist Feature, and writes a monthly column for one of the world's most prominent dance brands, Russian Pointe. Additionally, Rainesford co-founded a community yoga studio and, meshing her passions for story-telling and social good, works in media for nonprofits. In November 2014, she spoke at TEDxYouth Kansas City, and gave a talk at TEDx Eastside Prep in Seattle in March 2015. In this episode, Rainesford talks about her gap year, her philosophies about learning, and she believes that learning is not just a “school thing” but a “life thing.” Find out how she and I have Montessori in common, and get ready to be inspired by this amazing young woman. Ultimately, Rainesford wants to leave the world—and education—a little better than she found it. You can catch her on Twitter: @Rainesford.

Comedian Rosie Tran (@FunnyRosie) interviews Dale Stephens (@DaleJStepens) author of "Hacking Your Education". Dale was raised through "unschooling" and dropped out of college after just one semester from his frustrations with the traditional college system to found Uncollege.org. They discuss his program "Gap Year" which helps kids to study the school of life for a year, with life coaches that teach emotional intelligence, communication, and other important subjects not taught in traditional college, but that everyone needs to succeed.

Dale is making a statement that we are paying too much for college and learning too little.  His first book, Hacking Your Education, is being published this March.  Dale founded UnCollege to prove that education is not limited to school.

  With tuition costs rising, there is a new  debate over whether a degree is worth the expense.  We’ll discuss the pros and cons in a roundtable discussion. Thomas Frank of College Info Geek and Martin Boehme from Powlyglot join us to discuss who should go to college, how to skip pre-reqs, and why college vs not college is not the only question we should be asking. Thomas has been out of college for a little over a year.  While he believes the actual classes were not that helpful, college does give you a unique opportunity to make a lot of contacts that you can use for the rest of your life.  Contacts that can help you find things like a job, or a place to live in a new city.  While contacts can be made outside of college, you’ll likely never have access to so wide a variety again. Martin was  able to save some time and money by skipping  some prerequisites.  Speak to the professor and inquire if you can test out. A lot of these debates ignore that there are options that are not so black and white as going to college or not.  You don’t have to go to the most expensive or prestigious college that will have you.  According to CNN, nearly 30% of people with associate’s degrees are out earning those with bachelor’s degrees.  The associate’s can also be tens of thousands of dollars less expensive than a bachelor’s. College should not be the default immediately after high school.  There are many options out there so spend some time researching them before you take the plunge.

Topics: (from dalejstephens.com) Hacking Your Education If you want to be unremarkably average, go to college, turn in your homework, and graduate summa cum laude. You’ll have a college degree to your name, but you won’t be any closer to changing the world. The path to wild success does not involve jumping through hoops. If you want to succeed you cannot be a lemming. We all have something that makes us different in one way or another–and society has trained us to be ashamed of our unconventional quirks. By using your unique qualities to your advantage, you can turn the conformist paradigm on its head and speed along the path to success. Ultimately the only authority you need is your own, and by defining success for yourself you’ll make happiness readily achievable. Working with the Millennial Generation 22.4% of college graduates under 25 are unemployed. That means that only the best and the brightest are getting jobs—but it’s difficult to interface with these digital natives. Information is cheap and access is instant. We see no separation between work and life—Twitter and Facebook are part of our workflow. These changes are difficult for previous generations—and institutions—to understand. Because Dale bridges the gap between youth and adults, he doesn’t just relate to both but shares their experiences, fears, and challenges. He can help you understand how to successfully work with the leaders of tomorrow. The UnCollege Movement: Reinventing Higher Education College provides four things—knowledge, network, community, and signal—yet technology is changing faster than educational institutions. The university is at a crossroads, trying to stay competitive in a constantly changing market while still delivering a quality education at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the university is failing on both counts: tuition is skyrocketing while student learning is plummeting. What is the future of higher education? This talk will address the coming transformation of education, both inside and outside institutions.

An interview with Dale Stephens, founder of the Uncollege movement. Uncollege represents a revolutionary approach to education: applying the principles of unschooling to higher education. In the interview Dale talks about opportunities to hack your education and go for self-directed learning. He challenges the notion that going to college is the only path to success and identifies the declining value proposition of traditional college education, as well as the potential of an alternative, self-directed approach.

Unemployed college graduates saddled with student loan debt is a story we're increasingly hearing. The world is changing and some are questioning whether universities are the best path to preparing for the brave new world. The UNcollege movement is challenging the fundamental notion of what college is and pointing the way toward another paradigm for getting and applying knowledge. . Dale Stephens leads UnCollege, the global social movement changing the notion that college is the only path to success. In May 2011 Dale was selected as a Thiel Fellow and his first book Hacking Your Education, will be published by Perigee/Penguin in early 2013. Nathan Furr writes about the transforming paradigm of entrepreneurship education. Justin Snider is a contributing editor at The Hechinger Report and is completing his doctorate in education at Columbia University.

In this interview, Dale Stephens describes what it was like being part of the Theil Fellowship program, and how to spread a movement by going against the status quo.
