Today’s students seek an education that connects classroom learning to their future success, both personal and professional. Teaching Life Skills in the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Preparing Students for Success Beyond the Classroom is a practical guide for faculty and academic leaders who wish to meet this need by intentionally teaching and assessing the skills that employers most value: critical thinking, teamwork, emotional intelligence, cultural competence, ethical reasoning, and coachability.Grounded in research from higher education and employer surveys, this book provides evidence-based strategies for teaching and assessing key life skills, while still honoring the traditions of the liberal arts. Chapters feature detailed guidance and creative prompts for using AI tools to further enhance instructional design. By connecting academic experiences with students’ long-term goals, this book reaffirms the enduring relevance of a liberal arts education and offers a sustainable path forward in a rapidly changing world.

“Angela Bauer has written an enormously positive, thoughtful, well-researched, and practical book about how we can both strengthen and sell the liberal arts. We have long known that the liberal arts teach skills that are valuable in life and work, but we need this book to guide us to revitalize and preserve our core mission.”José Antonio Bowen, Former Goucher College President and Author of Teaching with AI, Teaching Naked and Teaching Change“This groundbreaking book invites campus leaders to reimagine and revolutionize liberal education by embedding life skills into the curriculum. Drawing on innovative student-centered learning opportunities and assessments, Bauer offers a compelling roadmap for educators seeking to prepare students not just for careers, but for meaningful, adaptable lives of purpose.”Lynn Pasquerella, President, American Association of Colleges and Universities "Practical, tactical, and immediately applicable, this is a timely and essential playbook for those prepping students for the college to career transition. Now more than ever, it’s vital that together, colleges and employers elevate the national conversation on how we define and develop career readiness."Shawn VanDerziel, President & CEO, National Association of Colleges and Employers
