A Tricuspid Model of Advocacy and Educational Change

Abstract

Susan Komives (2000), the current president for the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS), put out a call to awareness for higher education leaders “to be conscious of our own gaps” (p. 32) between knowledge and action. She states that, “[educators’] systematic processes too often stop at the acquisition of knowledge. The much harder and more meaningful process is to facilitate understanding and wisdom, leading to the intentional self-authorship inherent in informed thought and action” (p. 31).
