Academic philosophy

Professional Action Learning (PAL)

Fremont College's teaching methodology is based on research conducted by Dr. Sabrina Kay during her studies at USC and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. The teaching methodology, referred to as Professional Action Learning (PAL), attempts to teach students using a variety of instructional techniques beyond standard textbooks and exams. PAL is designed to make use of the operating concepts behind the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) and action learning methods to determine students' learning strengths and actively engage students in the learning process. The methodology involves guest speakers, videos, hands-on skills practice, group discussion, questions, dialogue, and student presentations.

PAL involves a six-step process:

1) Content delivery via lectures, textbooks, anecdotes, and current events.

2) Questioning dialogue based on class content.

3) Group discussion: students collaborate in small groups on topics and projects.

4) Teachback, in which students take different roles and present group project results.

5) Final reflective summary: students complete journals, exams, and papers.

6) Students' work becomes a part of the school's learning archive and becomes future content.

The College also follows the immersion education philosophy, where students focus on a single course at a time in order to focus on the subject matter before moving on to the next topic.

Fremont's curriculum is regularly reviewed by its advisory board.
