Section Ii: Practicing Inclusive Behavior

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The editors have chosen to offer the two essays in this section by themselves because we want to underline the importance of a vital task calling us as change agents and community builders. 0. Scott Peck (1987) in The Different Drum writes that the "great enemy of community is exclusivity" (p. 61). We can point to egregious examples of exclusion in our society; but can we clearly see how we ourselves practice exclusivity, even with the best of intentions? If we do recognize the problem, how can we not only change our own behaviors but also promote inclusion across our …

The Teaching Consultants' Workshop, Michael A. Kerwin, Judith Rhoads

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Helping Faculty Integrate Technology In Research And Teaching: Cart At Bridgewater State College, Terry Anne Vigil, Gail Price, Uma Shama, Karen Stonely

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This article describes Bridgewater State College's Center for the Advancement of Research and Teaching (CART).

A "Community Of Scholars?": Conversations Among Mid-Career Faculty At A Public Research University, Julia Lamber, Tony Ardizzone, Terry Dworkin, Sam Guskin, Deborah Olsen, Phil Parnell, David Thelen

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This article reports on a study of issues of faculty isolation and morale in mid-career faculty. Interview questions probed the dynamics of individual careers and asked about the quality of work life in the department and university, and changes in work life over the course of careers. Findings suggest that a majority of faculty, regardless of professional interests or scholarly prestige, would like greater interaction with departmental colleagues, more recognition from their department and university, a reward system based less on outside offers, and more fluid communications with upper-level administrators. Faculty comments clearly illustrate the advantages of an academic career: …

Beyond Groups And Cooperation: Building High Performance Learning Teams, Larry K. Michaelsen, Cynthia Firestone Jones, Warren E. Watson

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This article examines potential parallels between using teams in the workplace and in the classroom and is based on the assumption that educators may be able to learn a great deal from industry's successes using high-performing teams. This article (1) outlines the key attributes of groups affecting their ability to engage in productive work, (2) identifies management practices that have consistently resulted in high performance teams in the workplace, (3) compares these practices with the prescriptions of three widely used but different instructional approaches to group-based learning: incorporating a group assignment as a supplement to a predominantly lecture-based course, Cooperative …
