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 Ii: Promoting Adaptability In Higher Education, Michael Davis

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The current decade has been a period of reduced resources, tight competition for students, uneven demand for faculty from various specialties, and a more stable and mature professoriate. Colleges and universities are searching for models and programs to enable them to turn threatening conditions into opportunities for change and progress. The resistance to change is sometimes strong, and new perspectives and ideas can be helpful in breaking the log jam of resistance. The four papers in this section present perspectives that can be valuable in promoting individual and organizational vigor. Each perspective has roots in human development or organizational development …

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.
