Curricular+learning+vs.+Extra-curricular+learning

=**Curricular learning vs. Extra-curricular learning** = = =

We spend much time carefully crafting the ‘ideal’ curricula that will lead to a set of learning outcomes of our graduates acquire and demonstrate. The curriculum is often filled with rigorous content and with the skills necessary to deal with that body of content. But students spend only part of their college or university experience in the classroom dealing with the formal curriculum.

Should we be looking more seriously at the extra-curricular part of student life and what students are getting out of that side of their education?

Is it important that the two sides remain operating independently with their own goals and missions?

How do we help all students deal with both of these elements?
