The vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 Difference
vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 Difference and the 8 Abilities
Woven into every course at vnsr威尼斯城官网登入, the 8 Abilities empower our students to become agents of
change and principled leaders who meaningfully engage with their communities. They focus specifically on mastering skills in aesthetic engagement, analysis,
communication, developing a global perspective, effective citizenship, problem solving, social interaction and valuing in decision making.
Why doesn’t vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 give grades? Rather than use simple letter grades, we believe in
pushing students to reach their highest personal potential. A standard letter grade tells you where you stand today; an vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 assessment tells you that plus how to take the next step to
achieve greater understanding and application of knowledge. At vnsr威尼斯城官网登入, we challenge students to "know it and show it."
Our students get to know their strengths and opportunities for growth, and they push themselves to reach their highest potential. Simply put, our 8 Abilities are what set our students and alums apart.
vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 is excited and proud to celebrate 50 years of our 8 Abilities Curriculum. 在整个2023-2024学年，我们将每月庆祝并关注每种能力. Check out our #AbilitiesInAction shared by our students, faculty, 员工和校友们，我们不仅在庆祝，而且在行动和实践中展示我们的能力! As we say, if you know it, show it!

Why 8 Abilities?
In the early 1970s, vnsr威尼斯城官网登入试图为学生提供一些比正在教授的主题的基本理解更多的东西. We wanted our graduates to demonstrate what they know — to stand out — so we needed a curriculum that would stand out. It was through this desire that the 8 Abilities were born.
The abilities we weave throughout our curriculum represent the core, transferable skills that employers sought 50 years ago and continue to seek today. As those needs evolve, so do our abilities. vnsr威尼斯城官网登入 broke ground with our abilities-based, outcomes-focused approach to education.

Other well-respected institutions like Reed University, Brown University, 萨拉劳伦斯大学(Sarah Lawrence University)、斯坦福大学(Stanford)和耶鲁大学法学院(Yale Law school)自此取消了标准字母等级.
