Mentoring Revisited: Making an Impact on Individuals and Institutions by Marie A. Wunsch Pdf

If we believe that the welfare of individuals and the organization are one and the same, the points of compatibility and mutual support must be found and nurtured. If we value the "developmental culture" of an academic institution, the concerns of individuals for growth, change, advancement, recognition, and support can be brought into harmony with the goals of the "organizational culture" for stability, continuity, and community. The twenty-first centruy will bring new challenges to higher education. Academic institutions must renew their responsibility to support the developmental needs of all their members. This commitment to support human growth is also part of institutional regeneration. An integrated, comprehensive model of personal and organizational development that includes mentoring for students, faculty, staff, and administrators can make a significant contribution to the best use of human resources, community building, and institutional vitality. This is the 57th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Teaching and Learning. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

When "minorities are Strongly Encouraged to Apply" by Darrell Cleveland Pdf

Each year, graduates of Ph.D. programs and faculty across the country prepare to enter positions at universities across the country. Included in many job announcements is the phrase «Minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.» In this phrase, the question for many individuals is, «Who/what is considered a minority?» In most cases, the term «minority» only means people of color. This book highlights the experiences of various minority doctoral students pursuing Ph.D.s and junior faculty members across the country who have successfully navigated the academy by securing employment, tenure, and promotion despite the hurdles that cause many to avoid or leave academia altogether. This book will help administrators and faculty face the challenge of recruiting and retaining minority students and faculty as they complete their Ph.D.s and gain tenure.

The Wiley Handbook of Christianity and Education by William Jeynes Pdf

A comprehensive source that demonstrates how 21st century Christianity can interrelate with current educational trends and aspirations The Wiley Handbook of Christianity and Education provides a resource for students and scholars interested in the most important issues, trends, and developments in the relationship between Christianity and education. It offers a historical understanding of these two intertwined subjects with a view to creating a context for the myriad issues that characterize—and challenge—the relationship between Christianity and education today. Presented in three parts, the book starts with thought-provoking essays covering major issues in Christian education such as the movement away from God in American education; the Christian paradigm based on love and character vs. academic industrial models of American education; why religion is good for society, offenders, and prisons; the resurgence of vocational exploration and its integrative potential for higher education; and more. It then looks at Christianity and education around the globe—faith-based schooling in a pluralistic democracy; religious expectations in the Latino home; church-based and community-centered higher education; etc. The third part examines how humanity is determining the relationship between Christianity and education with chapters covering the use of Christian paradigm of living and learning; enrollment, student demographic, and capacity trends in Christian schools after the introduction of private schools; empirical studies on the perceptions of intellectual diversity at elite universities in the US; and more. Provides the breadth and depth of knowledge necessary to gain a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between Christianity and education and its place in contemporary society A long overdue assessment of the subject, one that takes into account the enormous changes in Christian education Presents a global consideration of the subject Examines Christian education across elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels The Wiley Handbook of Christianity and Education will be of great interest to Christian educators in the academic world, the teaching profession, the ministry, and the college and graduate level student body.

Collaboration Uncovered by Merle Richards,Anne Elliott,Vera Woloshyn,Coral Mitchell Pdf

University faculty members describe their collaborative projects with other faculty members, rsearchers, graduate students, professional educators, and other stakeholders in the educational enterprise. Through descriptions of several collaborative projects, the chapters explore some of the less explicitly articulated aspects of collaborative ventures. The authors use a variety of conceptual frameworks, derived from a number of disciplines including education and business, to deconstruct collaboration and to further undernstand its elements, issues, dynamics, and problematics. By confronting the challenges of building genuine and effective collaborative partnerships across institutions and cultures and by examining how the personal and the professional intertwine within the process, the book extends and deepens the dialogue about such partnerships. Collaboration is presented as a deeply personal and professionally challenging enterprise that offers satisfaction and enrichment when it is undertaken with eyes and minds wide open.

Faculty Success through Mentoring by Carole J. Bland,Anne L. Taylor,S. Lynn Shollen,Anne Marie Weber-Main,Patricia A. Mulcahy Pdf

Few things are more essential to the success of an academic institution than vital faculty members. This book is a rich combination of findings from the literature and practical tools, which together assist academic leaders and faculty in implementing and participating in a successful formal mentoring program that can be used as a strategy for maintaining the vitality of a diverse faculty across all stages of an academic career. In Faculty Success through Mentoring, the authors describe the tangible benefits of formal, traditional mentoring programs, in which mentor-mentee interactions are deliberate, structured, and goal-oriented. They outline the characteristics of effective mentors, mentees, and mentoring programs, and cover other models of mentoring programs, such as group and peer mentoring, which are particularly suited for senior and mid-career faculty. Also included are tools that institutions, mentors, and mentees can use to navigate successfully through the phases of a mentoring relationship. One of the unique features of this book is its explicit attention to the challenges to effective mentoring across genders, ethnicities, and generations. No matter what role one plays in mentoring, this book is an invaluable resource.

Resiliency Reconsidered by Donna M. Davis Pdf

Ultimately, the authors promote the need for a foundation of socially just policies and practices in all educational settings and respond to the question: How does a paradigm of resiliency translate into institutional change that benefits everyone?

Second International Handbook of Educational Leadership and Administration by Kenneth A. Leithwood,P. Hallinger Pdf

The first International Handbook of Educational Leadership and Administration (Leithwood et al.) was published in 1996 and quickly became something of a best seller for reference works within education. Such success, we suggest, was at least partly due to the unprecedented global waves of concern for improving schools launched in the mid 1980's, combined with a widespread belief in leadership as the single most powerful contribution to such improvement. The roots of this belief can be found in evidence produced by the early "effective schools" research, although there is a "romance" with leadership! as an explanation for success in many non-school enterprises, as well. During the two-year period during which this current handbook was being written, activity in the realms of school leadership, school improvement, and leadership development gained further momentum. The English government created its new National College of School Leadership, and several Asian nations announced new initiatives in leadership selection, preparation, and development.

Just ... Think About It! (2nd edn) by Peg Tittle Pdf

A collection of think pieces on a variety of topics: the environment, business, rights and responsibilities, social issues, ethics, education, sports, religion, and so on. Philosophy with an attitude. Because the unexamined life is dangerous. Note that this is an omnibus of the four Shit that Pisses Me Off volumes (minus the pieces that address sexism, which are anthologized in Sexist Shit that Pisses Me Off), plus over a hundred additional pieces, some of which were previously in The Philosophers’ Magazine, Philosophy Now, Humanist in Canada, and Victoria Times Colonist, some of which are previously unpublished. “An excellent collection of thought-provoking essays and short pieces. Just Think about It! (2nd edn) covers an amazingly wide range of topics that really made me think and reconsider my life, my choices, and our business-as-usual world. So much of what we are bombarded with on social media and mass media, so-called “op-eds,” are just a lot of noise; this author provides something very different. These are thought pieces, succinctly and logically presented for one’s consideration. I came away feeling like I’d had a meaningful interaction and I really enjoyed and appreciated it.” Karen Siddall “Just Think about It! (1st edn) covers a wide range of topics (too numerous to mention), and she has endeavoured to group them together by subject. Some are only a page long, others cover several pages and are more like essays, but they will all make you think!” James M. Fisher, The Miramichi Reader "Tittle's pieces are atypical of philosophical writing in the best ways: of interest to non-specialists, yet instructive and profound, yet entertaining." Ron Cooper, Professor of Philosophy "... a passionate, stylistically-engaging writer ..." George

Making Teaching Community Property by Pat Hutchings Pdf

Describes strategies through which faculty can document and "go public" with their teaching—be it for purposes of improvement or evaluation. Each of nine chapters features a different strategy—from the fairly simple, low-risk "teaching circle," to "course portfolios," to more formal departmental occasions such as faculty hiring—with reports by faculty who have actually tried each strategy, guidelines for good practice, and an annotated list of resources.
