Learning at the Collegiate Level
Just how different is college learning from high school? How can I help my son/daughter make this transition? What does Cedarville offer to support and encourage these learning efforts? These questions will be addressed as we:
- Review the 6 levels of learning (Bloom’s taxonomy)
- Take a quick look at Ken Bain’s work on the differences between deep learners, strategic learners, and surface learners
- Identify what students can do now to be better prepared for the demands of college-level learning
- Introduce the resources and services available to our students as they study and learn here at Cedarville

College Life Outside the Classroom
This webinar will provide an overview of some of the benefits of a Cedarville education that occur outside the classroom. An intentional focus on high quality support services has led to national recognition for our "supportive campus environment," and measurable student satisfaction that ranks us at the very top nationally in many areas that are important to families. We will discuss everything from our approach to co-curricular programming to our philosophy of redemptive discipline, and ways that parents can stay connected to their student to support your son's or daughter's spiritual and academic success.
