Testimonials
“Andrew partnered with our team at TVP to design a training about the Hidden Curriculum for our volunteer mentors. Andrew made sure to have an in-depth understanding of our organization's mission, and how our volunteers could benefit from his research and expertise. Andrew then partnered with our team to develop a dynamic, interactive training that received extremely positive feedback from our mentors. We are eager to work with him in the future and will continue to share his book as a valuable resource for our community!”
-Amy McDermott, Co-Founder and CEO of The Valedictorian Project
“My agency was fortunate to have Andrew Maguire provide an overview of the hidden curriculum to members of staff and volunteers working with first generation college students in a pilot mentoring program. Andrew is a highly skilled presenter who conveys complex nuance in a very accessible and engaging way. During a 90-minute workshop, he introduced the most central aspects of this rarely named concept that plays such a huge role in perpetuating inequity on college campuses. Andrew addressed how the pervasive hidden curriculum impacts students in a variety of ways, including the college application process, interpreting peer social codes, dealing with university bureaucracy, and ultimately overall academic success. The workshop gave our mentors an opportunity to learn and start reflecting on how the hidden curriculum affects every step of a student's path to and during college. Empowered by this knowledge, our mentors will be better-equipped to assist their mentees in proactively advocating for themselves as they navigate the college journey.”
-Jenny George, MSW, LICSW, Director of College Mentoring at Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters.
“The sharing changed the way I think about etiquette and ‘best practices’ in college for students. The Hidden Curriculum was in my blind spot, as I usually thought ‘good’ students pick up the norms and rules faster. But that can be an equality problem in its root. Will definitely remind myself of this.”
