Making Workshops Work, Jacqueline Davis, Robert Young
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Seminars and workshops--a practical, no-nonsense, relatively easy to schedule, participatory means of conveying and sharing ideas. Right? Only if planned and executed well. On the surface, a group session may seem to be one of the easiest best and ways to study new approaches to teaching and learning. It can be scheduled for one or more large blocks of time, freeing participants for other activities during the term. It provides opportunity for experimentation, a time and place to play out new ideas for the classroom before trying them with students. And it is a structure which promotes discussion, people talking …

Coaching Mathematics And Other Academic Sports, Linc. Fisch
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
It was one of those gorgeous autumn afternoons: a deep October blue sky contrasted with the brilliant golds and crimsons of the trees, the dazzle of the sun moderated the crispness in the air, and the spirit of the Homecoming crowd brought the stadium to vibrant life. It was a perfect day for football - and hardly the time or the place to be meditating about teaching. But that's where I first began to wonder ... to wonder why the football coach seemed to have so much more success with his team than I had with my mathematics class. A …

Long-Range Planning: An Overview
II. Long-Range Planning: A Faculty Development Strategy
The concept of planning is as universally embraced as parenthood and pizza. Through planning, an individual or institution attempts to gain better control of the future, to make decisions in a systematic and thoughtful way. We may ask ourselves how anyone could oppose a process designed to achieve a greater modicum of order in our individual and institutional lives. And, indeed, it is the rare voice that is raised against the planning concept.

Linking Faculty Development And Academic Planning, R. Eugene Rice
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
During the 1970's, most of what was done under the name of faculty development focused on the individual. High priority was placed on confidentiality in dealing with faculty and efforts were made to maintain distance from the structures of power and decision-making within institutions - especially the Dean's Office. Faculty development was established intentionally at the margins of institutions. In the years ahead, professional development activities will move from the periphery of colleges and universities to the center and be increasingly linked to long-range academic planning and institutional development.

Section I: Approaches To Teaching, Sandra C. Inglis
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Preparing a book of readings from our POD members requires us to take time to fully appreciate the talents of our colleagues. This short chapter on approaches to teaching is a fine example. Each of the contributors presents his or her own motivation in re-thinking the classroom experience - one saw the light while watching a football game; another finally tired of "the same old thing."

Section Iii: Faculty Development And Institutional Planning, Michelle Fisher
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
All the papers in this section share a now frequently heard concern for the stagnant, trapped, and even resentful faculties that the financial stringencies of the 1980s are creating at many colleges and universities. Yet the solution of all of these authors is not simply the standard fare of faculty development - consultation, workshop, handbooks, etc. - at least not as these are offered to individual faculty members. Instead, the authors' plea is to set faculty development in a larger context, to apply it to entire departments at a minimum and to the whole institution, especially as research reveals that …

Section Iv: Heads Open, Hands On!, Stephen Scholl
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
One of the hallmarks of the annual POD Conference is that all "presenters" are required to design active sessions, to involve participants, to attempt to model effective practice in teaching and learning. One of the assumptions in putting together a collection of resources for people engaged in faculty and organizational development work in higher education is that we include pieces that describe learning activities, that can be used as aids in stimulating teachers and collegiate staff to rethink their goals and build new skills. Hence this section of "hands on" materials.

Faculty Development In A Decade Of Transition, B. Claude Mathis
Faculty Development In A Decade Of Transition, B. Claude Mathis
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
A curriculum for change in higher education emerged during the 1970's which emphasizes, in the tradition of the three "R's", a course of study called reexamination, revitalization, renewal, retraining, and retirement, along with retrenchment. All of these exhortations calling on our institutions to reexamine, revitalize, renew, retrain, retrench, and retire have been operationalized in a process called faculty development which, in its best sense, recognizes that faculty members are the fulcrum for change in any educational institution. Change faculty and you change the nature of higher education. I suggest that the transitions that higher education institutions are making during this …
