The Pod Research Committee, B. Claude Mathis

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

When the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education was formed, the idea of recognizing research through the efforts of a research committee had a low priority among all the plans necessary to giving birth to an organization as eclectic as POD. The Network demonstrated very clearly at the Fourth Annual Conference in Oklahoma during November 1978 that POD is an idea which has survived the personal excitements which helped to create it. An interest in research and the dissemination of research results has emerged with strong support from the membership. The several meetings of the Research Committee at …

Resources For Faculty Development With Sociologists, Charles A. Goldsmid

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

POD members doing faculty development with sociologists or with departments of sociology have a substantial number of resources on which they can draw. Following a brief introduction, this article lists major sources of material and other forms of assistance. Specific contacts, addresses, organizations and journals are noted.

The Pod Professional Relations And Membership Committee, D. Joseph Clark

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

The Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education (POD) was founded by a small group of pioneering faculty and professional developers who established a support network and became close friends. The subsequent evolution of POD was in the direction of a professional association, as evidenced by its current activities: (1) an annual conference, (2) the expansion of its membership, and (3) the sponsoring of activities which reach beyond the membership.

To assist POD in sensible growth and development, the Professional Relations and Membership Committee was formed and assigned three major functions: (1) to monitor the composition of the POD …

Executive Director's Message, Mary Lynn Crow

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

By the time you read this, I will have completed my year as Executive Director, but I was asked to author the first column in an attempt to provide continuity and a kind of overview.

In another part of this first issue of the POD Quarterly there appears a chronological history of the organization, so I feel that it might be useful and interesting to provide a kind of emotional history of the organization as well. To portray this history, I have selected an analogy from the field of human growth and development because this is one of the courses …

Pod: The Founding Of A National Network, Joan North, Stephen C. Scholl

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

In the 1970's we have witnessed an explosion in the number of committtees, offices, positions within colleges, regional and national projects devoted to the renewal of institutions through "faculty development," especially the improvement of instruction. The spectre of "no growth" for higher education had accelerated a common concern for the quality of teaching and learning. By 1974 foundations such as Danforth, Kellogg and Lilly and agencies such as HEW -- especially its new Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education -- were seeding a variety of new teaching improvement programs. Many faculty and administrators were quickly launched into activities for …

Faculty Development: An Historical Perspective, Rosemary Park

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

On this program concerned with faculty development I have been asked to speak about the past, when there was no concept of faculty development as we know it and little concern on the institution's part or on the profession's for the growth and continuing vitality of the teaching staff. It was an age of unshared authority and of free enterprise where some succeeded and others failed, and no one cared to know why.

My brief account of more than 300 years of educational history may induce a comparative euphoria, and in that sense it belongs to the end of this …

Conference Retrospective, Clare Rose

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

POD's Fourth Annual Conference, held at Shangri-La on November 5-8, 1978, is now past history. Just in case those of you who were not in attendance are thinking we were off on some South Sea Island, I hasten to add that this Shangri-La is a conference center in Afton, Oklahoma, and although it is very lovely, the 206 registrants came to work, learn, teach, and relax a little.

The Future Of Faculty Development, David O. Justice

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

Reading the future is a risky business for the most thoughtful and prescient minds. I was therefore surprised to be asked to address the future of faculty development in view of the fact that I already have a record of predictions. I predicted, for example, 'Richard Nixon will never resign'; 'The Cardinals will stick with an Italian-Pope' and 'there will be a cabinet level Department of Education in 1978'.

With this record behind me, I will nonetheless tum my talents to faculty development and present my thoughts about its future. I should point out that I use the term faculty …

Conference Evaluation Report Summary, Glenn F. Nyre

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

Thirty-four states, the District of Columbia and Canada were represented at POD's Fourth Annual Conference. (As your truthful evaluator, I must "come clean" and confess that POD is really only three years old. How, then, you might ask, can we have held a Fourth Annual Conference? It's easy. We just co-opted the conference out of which POD grew and called it our own so people would not think we were some upstart organization. If I tell you this, could I falsify anything which follows?) Texas was represented by 16 people, California by 13, and Illinois and New Jersey were the …

Editorial Information, Spring 1979

POD Quarterly is a publication of the Professional and Organizational Development (POD) Network in Higher Education.

The Network was created in 1976 so that those who share common interests and concerns could exchange information, ideas, and resources; enhance professional skills; debate issues and strategies; and contemplate and plan for the future. The POD Quarterly is designed to further those aims through refereed articles about professional, organizational, and instructional development practice and research. It will also include …

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

Whither POD goest, I shall follow with my evaluation forms. Although an official and on-going questionnaire will evolve along with the Quarterly itself, what is needed at this time is input from the readership concerning emphases and directions for future issues. The desire of the Editorial Board is to publish a journal for POD-types which is topical, helpful, interesting and all sorts of other good things. Please let us know to what degree this has been achieved in the first issue, as well as what you think should or could be done in the future, by answering the following questions. …
