Trading In One Set Of Keys For Another: Suggestions For Success Self-Management Of Senior Academic Job Changes And Transitions, Jeffrey D. Senese

University Administration

This essay discusses the transition process for academic vice presidents from the perspective of an academic vice president. Given that many institutions do not adequately plan for the exit and entry of academic vice presidents, and the lack of literature on this topic, as well as the importance of this position at many institutions, this essay is offered as a beginning for further study.

The movement of academic administrators from one institution to another is done with perhaps more regularity today than in past years and decades. It has been argued that while many academic vice presidents spend most of …

Understanding Arkansas’ Education Funding Formula, Sarah C. Mckenzie, Gary W. Ritter

Policy Briefs

Over the last two years, Arkansas’ education funding system has undergone a variety of changes. Despite the news coverage and public attention over education funding, there remains general confusion around the state about school spending. We have produced periodic briefs to help explain the changes; however, we believe that a straightforward question and answer style brief could be helpful in sifting through the various documents about education spending in Arkansas. Four specific questions seem to be discussed consistently regarding education funding: • How much money has been allocated for education in Arkansas? • How has education funding changed over the …

Closing The Loop: Debriefing And The Short-Term College Missions Team, David M. Johnstone

Colleges routinely send teams across cultural and economic lines to serve other communities. The returning from any cross-cultural experience is laced with dissonance. This article hopes to provide paradigms to assist making these trips a more significant educational experience. Using Mannoia 's description of how learning takes place, we perceive that all aspects of the educational experience can become tools for creating learning. Short-term cross-cultural trips have the potential for being one of the most formative pedagogical experiences of a student's college career. The tools presented here should assist them to transform the event into a significant l(fe experience.

Dispositions: Defining, Aligning And Assessing, Nancy Edick, Lana Danielson, Sarah Edwards

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

With the focus on student achievement, nationwide attempts are being made to improve schools and school systems. In these reforms teachers are the single most important factor (Darling- Hammond 1997; Wilson, Floden, and Ferrini-Mundy 2001). Teacher preparation programs have a unique opportunity and responsibility, therefore, to have a significant impact on teacher quality. Central to the ability to do so is a comprehensive understanding of what factors constitute teacher quality.

Simple Way For A Successful Path, Km. Nadeera

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

Education is the basic path to create a complete person improving high thinking and analytical skills for solving problems. Certain defects of the science education would be observed in developing countries minimizing the nations’ strength towards the better development. Quality of the science education is the common fact to be considered in developing countries.

The collaborative field experience sequence provides the students with early and continuous …
