Teaching at the United States Army War College. Philosophy, Practice, and Resources AY 2000

Abstract

Learner-centered, inquiry-driven graduate study is what we do in the academic program at the US Army War College (USAWC). By that we mean students develop an individual program of study (focusing on courses beyond the core which individualize their classroom experiences) and a Strategic Research Project (SRP) topic informed by a set of questions each has developed as they prepared to attend this senior service college. Our goal is to transform proven leaders in tactical and operational roles into leaders responsible for policy and strategy roles in the military and related agencies responsible for the development and implementation of US foreign policy. Our approach to their education must mirror the transformation we hope each of them to achieve. We must teach at the conceptual level.
