hidden curriculum

Dr. Michael Dewsnap lends his insights as a medical educator in leadership on the role of reflection in integrating the lived experience and emotional intelligence. He addressed the hidden curriculum, and given that physician time is valuable and limited, channeling the lived experience is likely key in developing the skill of emotional intelligence. Dr. Michael Dewsnap, PhD, MSEd is the Executive Director of the Learning Environment Engagement Program in the central Office for Diversity at Texas A&M University. He is as an Instructional Assistant Professor in Humanities in Medicine in the School of Medicine. Dr. Dewsnap earned his M.S.Ed. in Educational Administration from Baylor University and his Ph.D. in Education and Human Resource Studies with a specialization in Higher Education from Colorado State University. He teaches and is engaged in scholarly activity around leadership in medicine, especially as related to the lived experience of physicians. Dr. Dewsnap has a recent article on the lived experience of medical training and emotional intelligence. 

Thanks to another great podcast, Future U by Jeff Selingo and Michael Horn, I learned about a course at Georgetown University called Mastering the Hidden Curriculum. Part of the Georgetown Scholars Program, the course teaches students things about college that many students, especially first-generation students, don’t know, like what office are and how to interact with faculty. The course also dives into topics like imposter syndrome and how to fight it as a new college student. 

I wanted to know more about the course and the Georgetown Scholars Program, which provides programmatic support for high-achieving low-income and first-generation students at Georgetown. I reached out to Missy Foy, executive director of the GSP, to ask her on the podcast. She, in turn, connected me with Anthony Abraham Jack, assistant professor of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students. The two of them are a wealth of information about the experiences of low-income and first-gen college students, and they had a lot to share for faculty and administrators about how colleges and universities can better support these students.

The title of this episode is the question a lot of people ask me…so I decided to try to explain what makes my teaching different.  This was inspired by a Spiritual Intelligence Briefing that I held in my area and opened it up to the public.  The specific topic I was teaching about was "How Close Are We To The Kingdom?"

The attendance and the response far exceeded my expectations...but like always, many in the audience were blown away by the teaching, saying, "This is so different from what other people are teaching about the last days.  I'm overwhelmed by it all!"

Here's what you'll learn:

• The two things that makes my teaching different:  1) A hidden curriculum I somehow tapped into that most Christians don't know even exists; and 2) A  God-given aptitude of "hearing inspired revelation and ideas" that developed during my years of consulting in the business sector.  
• How YOU can grow in this "hearing" aptitude.
• Where you can access this hidden curriculum.
• Links (below) to important resources to kickstart your own growth in this area.
