The Professors of Teaching by Richard Wisniewski,Edward R. Ducharme Pdf

In The Professors of Teaching nine scholars pool their insights and their divergent experiences within the profession to discuss and elucidate the origins, productivity, dilemmas, and future of the professorate. Emphasizing the need for professors of education to satisfy the norms of scholarship appropriate to the university, the contributors also underscore the need for the education faculty to work closely with those in the practicing profession--teachers in our nations' schools. The result is a frank and candid exposé which provides a clear sense of what must now be done in order for professors of education to be not only accepted but also respected within the academy and the teaching profession. Professionals, administrators, policy-makers--all those concerned with teacher preparation and practice will be challenged by the authors of The Professors of Teaching.

Syracuse University was one of the first major universities to develop a summer internship program to train the hundreds of new teaching assistants appointed each year. An outgrowth of that program, this book contains essays that represent a thoughtful effort by experienced teachers--many of whom have been involved with the national Preparing Future Faculty program--to explore various ways of engaging, encouraging, and stimulating students to learn. Topics cover lecturing, leading discussions, designing laboratory and studio courses, reaching for diversity, using technology, assessing students learning, and service learning.

No Study Without Struggle by Leigh Patel Pdf

Examines how student protest against structural inequalities on campus pushes academic institutions to reckon with their legacy built on slavery and stolen Indigenous lands Using campus social justice movements as an entry point, Leigh Patel shows how the struggles in higher education often directly challenged the tension between narratives of education as a pathway to improvement and the structural reality of settler colonialism that creates and protects wealth for a select few. Through original research and interviews with activists and organizers from Black Lives Matter, The Black Panther party, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Combahee River Collective, and the Young Lords, Patel argues that the struggle on campuses reflect a starting point for higher education to confront settler strategies. She reveals how blurring the histories of slavery and Indigenous removal only traps us in history and perpetuates race, class, and gender inequalities. By acknowledging and challenging settler colonialism, Patel outlines the importance of understanding the relationship between the struggle and study and how this understanding is vital for societal improvement.

Economic, academic, and social forces are causing undergraduate schools to start a fresh examination of teaching effectiveness. Administrators face the complex task of developing equitable, predictable ways to evaluate, encourage, and reward good teaching in science, math, engineering, and technology. Evaluating, and Improving Undergraduate Teaching in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics offers a vision for systematic evaluation of teaching practices and academic programs, with recommendations to the various stakeholders in higher education about how to achieve change. What is good undergraduate teaching? This book discusses how to evaluate undergraduate teaching of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology and what characterizes effective teaching in these fields. Why has it been difficult for colleges and universities to address the question of teaching effectiveness? The committee explores the implications of differences between the research and teaching cultures-and how practices in rewarding researchers could be transferred to the teaching enterprise. How should administrators approach the evaluation of individual faculty members? And how should evaluation results be used? The committee discusses methodologies, offers practical guidelines, and points out pitfalls. Evaluating, and Improving Undergraduate Teaching in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics provides a blueprint for institutions ready to build effective evaluation programs for teaching in science fields.

Fostering Sustained Student-Faculty Engagement in Undergraduate Education by Teniell L. Trolian,Eugene T. Parker, III. Pdf

As higher education contexts change, with shifts in student demographics, additional emphasis on institutional accountability, and new classroom and program modalities, faculty continue to play an important role in fostering student success through their interactions with students. Fostering Sustained Student-Faculty Engagement in Undergraduate Education explores how these shifts in college and university environments affect undergraduate student-faculty interactions and engagement. The edited text focuses on how higher education scholars, faculty, and leaders might reconsider and rethink undergraduate student-faculty experiences for present day higher education, both inside and outside of the classroom. Additionally, the volume challenges existing notions of student-faculty interaction, focusing instead on improving the quality of interactions and fostering sustained mentoring relationships for important populations of students, ultimately considering how student-faculty engagement can contribute to student learning and success in higher education. A timely book, Fostering Sustained Student-Faculty Engagement in Undergraduate Education offers practicable recommendations for higher education faculty, student affairs staff, faculty development professionals, and college and university leaders for fostering effectual student-faculty experiences. Teniell L. Trolian is Associate Professor of Educational Policy and Leadership at the University at Albany, State University of New York, USA. Eugene T. Parker, III is Associate Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Kansas, USA.

Advancing the Culture of Teaching on Campus by Constance Cook,Matthew Kaplan Pdf

Written by the director and staff of the first, and one of the largest, teaching centers in American higher education – the University of Michigan’s Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) – this book offers a unique perspective on the strategies for making a teaching center integral to an institution’s educational mission. It presents a comprehensive vision for running a wide range of related programs, and provides faculty developers elsewhere with ideas and material to prompt reflection on the management and practices of their centers – whatever their size – and on how best to create a culture of teaching on their campuses. Given that only about a fifth of all U.S. postsecondary institutions have a teaching center, this book also offers a wealth of ideas and models for those administrators who are considering the development of new centers on their campuses.Topics covered include:• The role of the director, budgetary strategies, and operational principles• Strategies for using evaluation to enhance and grow a teaching center• Relationships with center constituencies: faculty, provost, deans, and department chairs• Engagement with curricular reform and assessment• Strengthening diversity through faculty development• Engaging faculty in effective use of instructional technology• Using student feedback for instructional improvement• Using action research to improve teaching and learning• Incorporating role play and theatre in faculty development• Developing graduate students as consultants• Preparing future faculty for teaching• The challenges of faculty development at a research universityIn the concluding chapter, to provide additional context about the issues that teaching centers face today, twenty experienced center directors who operate in similar environments share their main challenges, and the strategies they have developed to overcome them through innovative programming and careful management of their resources. Their contributions fall into four broad categories: institutional-level challenges, engaging faculty and students and supporting engaged pedagogy, discipline-specific programming, and programming to address specific instructor career stages.

Teaching as if Learning Matters by Jennifer Meta Robinson,Valerie Dean O'Loughlin,KatherineKearns,Laura Plummer Pdf

Teaching is an essential skill in becoming a faculty member in any institution of higher education. Yet how is that skill actually acquired by graduate students? Teaching as if Learning Matters collects first-person narratives from graduate students and new PhDs that explore how the skills required to teach at a college level are developed. It examines the key issues that graduate students face as they learn to teach effectively when in fact they are still learning and being taught. Featuring contributions from over thirty graduate students from a variety of disciplines at Indiana University, Teaching as if Learning Matters allows these students to explore this topic from their own unique perspectives. They reflect on the importance of teaching to them personally and professionally, telling of both successes and struggles as they learn and embrace teaching for the first time in higher education.
