Mission
THE GREAT QUESTIONS FOUNDATION SEEKS TO PROMOTE LIBERAL EDUCATION AND CORE-TEXT AND DISCUSSION-BASED LEARNING AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE THROUGH SUPPORTING FACULTY DEVELOPEMENT, COURSE REDESIGN, AND HELPING TO ESTABLISH AND SUPPORT CORE-TEXT PROGRAMS AND COURSES.
Program accomplishments
- TO DATE, TGQF HAS HELPED OVER 230 FACULTY MEMBERS AT MORE THAN 70 COMMUNITY COLLEGES REDESIGN COURSES TO FOCUS ON THE DISCUSSION-BASED STUDY OF TRANSFORMATIVE TEXTS AND IDEAS IN THEIR GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE WORK, IMPACTING OVER 65,000 STUDENTS. TGQF COMPLETED AN IMPACT STUDY OF FACULTY WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OUR PROGRAMS. ON AVERAGE, EACH FACULTY MEMBER TEACHES 240 STUDENTS PER YEAR AND REPORTS APPLYING SKILLS GAINED THROUGH TGQF, SUCH AS WHOLE-TEXT READING APPROACHES AND DISCUSSION LEADERSHIP TECHNIQUES, IN APPROXIMATELY 70% OF THEIR COURSES. FACULTY FROM OUR INAUGURAL 2022 COHORT REPORT SUSTAINED USE OF THESE PRACTICES TODAY. TGQF'S INVESTMENT IN A SINGLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBER REACHES THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF A CAREER.TGQF CONTINUES TO OFFER ITS ONLINE CURRICULUM REDESIGN WORKSHOPS, FOCUSED ON HELPING FACULTY MEMBERS INCORPORATE THE DISCUSSION-BASED STUDY OF TRANSFORMATIVE TEXTS INTO GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES THEY TEACH AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES. ABOUT 50 COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBERS HAVE COMPLETED TGQF ONLINE WORKSHOPS DURING THIS PERIOD, IMPACTING ABOUT 8,000 STUDENTS. IN EACH WORKSHOP, 10 COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBERS COLLABORATE WITH TWO EXPERIENCED FACULTY LEADERS TO DEVELOP DISCUSSION-BASED PEDAGOGY, STUDENT-CENTERED STUDY QUESTIONS, ASSIGNMENTS, AND A REDESIGNED SYLLABUS FOR A GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE THEY TEACH AT THEIR HOME INSTITUTION. UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORKSHOP, FACULTY PARTICIPANTS INCORPORATE THE DISCUSSION-BASED STUDY OF ONE OR MORE OF THE TEXTS INTO THE CURRICULUM OF A GENERAL EDUCATION COURSE THEY TEACH. THE REDESIGNED COURSES HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN ENHANCING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, STIMULATING INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY, ENCOURAGING DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES, AND CREATING AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR FREE EXPRESSION.

- DISCUSSION-BASED CLASSROOMS MIRROR HOW CITIZENS WORK TOGETHER IN A HEALTHY DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY, AND THE DIVERSITY OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE CLASSROOM MAKES IT AN IDEAL SETTING FOR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE THESE SKILLS. TGQF'S AMERICAN POLITICAL AND SOCIAL THOUGHT (APST) COURSE REDESIGN INSTITUTE BRINGS DISCUSSION-BASED STUDY OF FOUNDATIONAL AMERICAN TEXTS, FROM PLATO AND LOCKE TO DOUGLASS, DU BOIS, AND DR. KING, TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE, SOCIAL SCIENCE CLASSROOMS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES. EXPERIENCED COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY LEAD EACH COHORT OF UP TO FIFTEEN INSTRUCTORS IN DEVELOPING APPROACHES THAT HELP STUDENTS IN DIVERSE CLASSROOMS ENGAGE OPENLY WITH QUESTIONS OF LIBERTY, EQUALITY, AND DEMOCRATIC SELF-GOVERNANCE. THE PROGRAM HAS REACHED 47 FACULTY AND OVER 5,000 STUDENTS. BEFORE PARTICIPATING, 71% OF FACULTY REPORTED LITTLE TO NO EXPERIENCE TEACHING THESE TEXTS THROUGH DISCUSSION; AFTERWARD, 100% PLANNED TO INTEGRATE MORE. AMONG STUDENTS, 83% REPORTED MORE DISCUSSION OPPORTUNITIES THAN IN OTHER COURSES, 78% FELT FREE TO EXPLORE UNPOPULAR VIEWPOINTS, AND 87% CAME TO SEE THE CONTINUED RELEVANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION AND FOUNDING DOCUMENTS. THESE RESULTS REFLECT EXACTLY THE KIND OF CIVIC LEARNING THAT NATIONAL REPORTS IDENTIFY AS MOST NEEDED AND MOST UNDERFUNDED AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES: NOT CIVICS AS ROTE MEMORIZATION OF GOVERNMENT STRUCTURES, BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS' CAPACITY TO ENGAGE WITH FOUNDATIONAL TEXTS, DELIBERATE ACROSS DIFFERENCE, AND APPLY FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES TO CONTEMPORARY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES.

- TGQF FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS BRING DISCUSSION-BASED, HUMANITIES-GROUNDED PEDAGOGY TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE GENERAL EDUCATION. OUR 51 FELLOWS, SPANNING INSTITUTIONS FROM MIAMI DADE TO WEST LOS ANGELES TO RURAL OKLAHOMA, ARE CHANGING THE CULTURE OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AT THEIR COLLEGES, AND THEIR WORK IS HAVING STRUCTURAL IMPACTS ON THE INSTITUTION WHERE THEY TEACH. TGQF FELLOWS AT COLUMBUS STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDED A DEDICATED LIBERAL ARTS LEARNING INSTITUTE THAT HAS ALREADY ENGAGED NEARLY 500 STUDENTS. AT WEST LOS ANGELES COLLEGE, FELLOWS LED 13 FACULTY ACROSS DISCIPLINES FROM MATHEMATICS TO DENTAL HYGIENE NOW WEAVE HUMANISTIC INQUIRY INTO COURSES THAT RARELY ENGAGE WITH THE HUMANITIES. AT MIAMI DADE, OUR FELLOW'S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL HAS BEEN FORMALLY INTEGRATED INTO INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURES. STUDENTS NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE: 90% RATED FELLOWS-TAUGHT COURSES "EXCEPTIONAL OR "VERY GOOD, AND THE SHARE WHO STRONGLY AGREED THEIR COURSE EXPLORED QUESTIONS IMPORTANT TO THEIR OWN LIVES GREW BY OVER 12 PERCENTAGE POINTS ACROSS SEMESTERS. OVER THREE-QUARTERS OF STUDENTS REPORTED MAKING DEEPER CONNECTIONS BETWEEN READINGS AND THEIR OWN LIVES AND LISTENING MORE ATTENTIVELY TO OTHERS. FELLOWS ARE INCREASINGLY LEADING THIS WORK THEMSELVES CO-FACILITATING TGQF WORKSHOPS, HELPING LEAD NATIONAL INITIATIVES LIKE OUR COURSE REDESIGN INSTITUTES, AND STEPPING INTO FACULTY LEADERSHIP ROLES AT THEIR COLLEGES.
