Fragmentation Versus Integration Of Faculty Work, Carolin Kreber, Patricia Cranton
Fragmentation Versus Integration Of Faculty Work, Carolin Kreber, Patricia Cranton
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Present faculty development practice encourages new faculty to integrate teaching, research, and other aspects of academic work early in their careers. By drawing on both the cognitive and the developmental psychology literature, we propose integration as an advanced stage of adult development that comes about as a result of extensive experience and expertise. We argue that faculty should be advised to focus on either research or teaching at different times during their early years and that integration of professorial roles should only be expected at a later stage. We discuss the implications of such an approach for faculty development.
Getting Lecturers To Take Discussion Seriously, Stephen Brookfield, Stephen Preskill
Getting Lecturers To Take Discussion Seriously, Stephen Brookfield, Stephen Preskill
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
In this chapter we examine how faculty resistant to experimenting with discussion methods can be encouraged to take them seriously. We begin by acknowledging and addressing publicly the objections to using discussion most frequently raised by skeptical faculty. We then turn to proposing what we believe are the most common reasons why attempts to use discussion sometimes fail: that teachers have unrealistic expectations of the method, that students are unprepared, that reward systems in the classroom are askew, and that teachers have not modeled their own participation in, and commitment to, discussion methods. For each of these reasons we suggest …
“It's Hard Work!”: Faculty Development In A Program For First–Year Students, Martha L. A. Stassen
“It's Hard Work!”: Faculty Development In A Program For First–Year Students, Martha L. A. Stassen
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Academic programs designed specifically for first-year students provide an important opportunity for faculty growth. This chapter contributes to the limited literature on this topic through a qualitative analysis of interviews with faculty members who taught in an experimental living-learning community for first-year students at a Research I Public University. The analysis suggests atleast four dimensions of faculty growth as a result of their involvement in first-year programs. In addition to outlining the types of impact this experience has on the faculty involved, the article suggests the implications of these findings for faculty development.
The Influence Of Disciplinary Differences On Consultations With Faculty, Virginia Lee
The Influence Of Disciplinary Differences On Consultations With Faculty, Virginia Lee
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
In recent years researchers have begun to investigate the nature of disciplinary differences in higher education and their implications for teaching and learning. While researchers have studied several aspects of disciplinary differences, they have given comparatively little attention to the significance of these differences for faculty development. After reviewing selective, representative studies from the literature on disciplinary differences, this paper develops a general framework for determining how the characteristics of a discipline influence the dynamics of the consulting relationship using the example of the hard sciences. It explores what kinds of discipline-specific knowledge will be important for consultants and under …
The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning: A National Initiative, Barbara L. Cambridge
The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning: A National Initiative, Barbara L. Cambridge
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
As part ofthe scholarship of teaching and learning, faculty members study the ways in which they teach and students learn in their disciplines, and campuses foster this scholarship at the institutional level. A national initiative called the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Leaming constitutes three programs to engage and support individuals, campuses, and disciplinary associations in this form of scholarly work. This article describes the Pew Scholars Fellowship Program, the Campus Program, and the Work with Scholarly Societies and invites participation of campuses in this exciting initiative.

Faculty Development Centers In Research Universities: A Study Of Resources And Programs, Delivee L. Wright
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
The purpose of this study was to compile updated information on resources and programs of faculty/instructional development centers in Carnegie classification Research I and Research II universities. It allows centers across the country to see where they stand in regard to a number of specific aspects of center operation. Size of institution, mission, resources, budgets, and staffing vary greatly, while activities and services have a greater degree of similarity. The data reveal a number of questions for further study and discussion.

A Preferred Vision For Administering Elementary Schools : A Reflective Essay, Michael Ward
A Preferred Vision For Administering Elementary Schools : A Reflective Essay, Michael Ward
Graduate Research Papers
As an individual practicing school administration in a small private school and a former classroom teacher, I feel that I bring with me a set of values and beliefs about education into the completion of my Masters of Arts in Education degree. These values and beliefs were and still are being formed by my upbringing, education and environment. As an administrator, I hope that I can model my values and through collaboration with all stakeholders of our school, use my beliefs and theirs to develop a vision for the school.

The Short Tenure Of A Woman Superintendent: A Clash Of Gender And Politics, Margaret Grogan
Education Faculty Articles and Research
This article reports the two-year tenure of a woman superintendent in a small southern city. Placed against the background of local community politics and school district politics it shows that women in the superintendency still face Issues of gender stereotyping that influence the way they are perceived as leaders of school systems. A feminist poststructuralist framework is used to understand how the various subject positions available to women collide with the discourse of the superintendency. lt is recommended that women leaders resist the images that have been traditionally reserved for them and begin to reinvent the superintendency on their own …

What is Leadership? Is leadership the use of power and authority to make decisions? Is leadership a skill learned over time to facilitate the process of change? These are questions which must be pondered. 1 Leadership is a process which involves the skill of communicating with others through teamwork to carry out a vision. Leadership is an influenced relationship between the leader and follower in pursuit of a common goal. As the mission and goals are defined, the organization has the opportunity to become efficient and effective. The leader-follower relationship is based on influence, change, mutual purpose, and commitment.
Cultural Change Paradigms And Administrator Communication, Theodore J. Kowalski
Cultural Change Paradigms And Administrator Communication, Theodore J. Kowalski
Educational Leadership Faculty Publications
Public school reform has taken three distinct turns over the past two decades. In the early 1980s, most policymakers blamed a lack of educational productivity on lazy students. Influenced by this argument, virtually every state legislature enacted laws lengthening the school year, lengthening the school day, and increasing high school graduation requirements. Within a relatively short period of time, however, the would-be reformers concluded that intensification of student experiences was insufficient to produce significant improvements. While not abandoning their original conviction, they shifted their attention to a second target-educators. The result was a flurry of proposals to revise or eliminate …

The Administrative Role: A Reflective Essay, Donald R. Taylor
The Administrative Role: A Reflective Essay, Donald R. Taylor
Graduate Research Papers
Like everyone, my experiences, values, and goals are the basis of what has become my philosophy of education. My philosophy of education, in turn, determines my teaching style and together they define what I believe to be the purpose of education. Knowing that philosophies tend toward the idealistic by nature, my idealistic vision is not intimidated by the challenge of administration. The purpose of this reflective paper is to identify characteristics that are essential for a successful principalship. I will also articulate what I believe about each characteristic, provide research findings to support my perspective, and discuss how I might …
