Honors education values diversity, not simply to enrich our classrooms but for equity and social justice.

Digby, Joan – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2020
Patricia J. Smith's argument for professionalism based on Caplow's outdated model is inappropriate for honors administration. The steps outlined are misleading, and the use of the perennially controversial Basic Characteristics as a prescription for professionalizing honors is historically inaccurate and has no place in framing the future of…

The author further suggests…

Fazioli, K. Patrick – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2020
Patricia J. Smith's essay on the professionalization of honors advances several original and provocative arguments that deserve serious consideration. Although Smith makes a plausible case that honors has fulfilled at least three of Theodore Caplow's four stages of professionalization, a closer reading of this text reveals that the developments…

Zubizarreta, John – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2020
This essay responds to an argument for certification based on a particular sociological theory of professionalization. The case for certification rests on the supposition that honors has evolved from a nascent educational movement focused on distinct teaching and learning approaches for high-ability students to one that is now ready to…

Rook, Rebecca – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2020
While the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) supports routine, systematic program review, research suggests that only about half of honors programs engage in some form of assessment. This study examines the current state of honors program evaluation by gauging honors administrators' perceptions of program review and assessing the impact of…

Smith, Patricia Joanne – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2020
Honors education in America has undergone a process that sociologist Theodore Caplow describes as professionalization. Caplow identifies four stages whereby a developing profession transitions to a professional association: organizing membership, changing the name of occupation from its previous status, developing a code of ethics, and after a…

The partnership that the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) entered into with the National Park Service (NPS) almost a decade ago, when the Partners in the Parks (PITP) program was created, has immeasurably enriched the lives of undergraduate honors students and faculty from throughout the United States and abroad. This second edition of…

Badenhausen, Richard – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2019
While members of the academy are particularly adept at complaining and poking holes in most proposals that cross their paths, we are less comfortable with offering solutions. This essay asks members of the honors community to consider some of the major challenges facing honors education today and propose solutions that might be adapted on a…
