Benchmarking Succession Planning & Executive Development In Higher Education, Jonathon Clunies
Benchmarking Succession Planning & Executive Development In Higher Education, Jonathon Clunies
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
Higher education has historically been slow to adopt many corporate management processes. Succession planning is an especially difficult concept to apply in academia due to dramatic cultural differences between the boardroom and the campus. College and universities often have complex and sometimes bureaucratic procedures for hiring compared with many business corporations (Rosse & Levin, 2003). In a tightening economic and growing competitive climate, innovative colleges and universities are re-examining whether succession planning, coupled with executive development, could be adapted for more cost effective transitions of power and authority.
Faculty Learning Communities And Teaching Portfolios As A Mentoring Model, Andrea C. Wade
Faculty Learning Communities And Teaching Portfolios As A Mentoring Model, Andrea C. Wade
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
Beginning a career in college or university teaching can be a terrifying exercise in trial and error. Unlike elementary and secondary school teachers, many college faculty members begin their teaching careers with little or no formal preparation in pedagogy. Despite being well-versed in the content discipline, faculty members in their first few semesters of teaching often lack access to the kind of frequent assessment and mentoring that would shorten the learning curve and enhance the experience for both instructor and student. Through the years, a number of different strategies have been proposed to foster interactions between college faculty members. Typically, …

Engaged, But Not Heroic, Academic Leadership, John B. Bennett
Engaged, But Not Heroic, Academic Leadership, John B. Bennett
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
Over the years, I have explored leadership challenges faced by department chairpersons and school deans. In this essay I reflect on some findings, noting that they also apply to other educational leaders such as faculty senate members and student affairs officers. Most mid-level leaders struggle with the tradition of defining leadership in terms of individualistic values and mythologies of seeing the leader in terms of the individualistic, heroic cowboy of the Western film and novel. Then I examine the position of institutional president. Here too some leaders aim to be heroic figures, like the fabled cowboy. Almost inevitably, their behaviors …

Four Dimensions Of Leadership In The Problem-Solving Of Education Deans, Antonia Donofrio
Four Dimensions Of Leadership In The Problem-Solving Of Education Deans, Antonia Donofrio
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
This study links personal attributes of deans of schools and colleges of education to the problem solving contexts in which they make decisions that affect the programs they serve. We describe the mix of intellect, emotion, social acumen, and moral attributes that deans draw upon when they respond to vignettes that capture the multifaceted nature of problem solving in their positions. This study is a continuation of research that attempts to identify characteristics of deans of education who have survived in their role. This is an important issue, as schools and colleges report difficulty in identifying deans who can meet …

Intellectual Humility And The Art Of Disagreement At The Christian College, James S. Spiegel
Intellectual Humility And The Art Of Disagreement At The Christian College, James S. Spiegel
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
Education at a Christian college properly features both honest inquiry and unwavering allegiance to core theological standards, such as those embodied in the classical creeds. This combination of commitments can create tension for the Christian educator, as insistence upon doctrinal allegiance can inadvertently reinforce dogmatic attitudes so common among late adolescents. In this paper I discuss the virtue of intellectual humility and its importance for combating student dogmatism in an atmosphere of steadfast Christian commitment. After distinguishing between theological essentials and disputable matters, I discuss philosophical and theological grounds for being intellectually humble. And I illustrate ways in which faculty …

Tales From Two Cities: Service-Learning As A Christian Educational Practice, Todd Ream
Tales From Two Cities: Service-Learning As A Christian Educational Practice, Todd Ream
Growth: The Journal of the Association for Christians in Student Development
As an educational practice, service-learning offers an important means by which to work toward the integration of the curricular and co-curricular efforts on our respective campuses. However, the larger conceptual framework through which service-learning is defined and exercised is driven by what Augustine defines as the city of the world in a way that neglects the significance of what he referred to as the City of God. In this article, I identify the roots of this problem and offer an alternative conceptual framework for service-learning as a Christian educational practice. This conceptual framework challenges Christian educators to not just engage …
