Sara Beckman, Teaching Professor at University of California, Berkeley was kind enough to share her positive vision for the future of Higher Education with us at The Leadership & Legacy Podcast, by Magrathea Partners. I am excited to release her full interview later this week, and couldn't resist sharing this clip below highlighting how she sees project-based learning taking a more central role in Higher Ed in the future. Sara's vision for the future includes transitioning faculty from a "Sage on the Stage" model to a "Guide on the Side" model, encouraging students to deepen their understanding of core curriculum concepts through teaming and project based learning.
