Book excerpt: As many of the founding full-time community college faculty began to retire, colleges across the nation intensified their full-time faculty recruitment and retention efforts. They began to replace the retiring full-time faculty with the new generation faculty cohort. The purpose of this study was to understand the role that a comprehensive orientation program played in the socialization process of new community college faculty. Additionally, the study examined the choice of orientation tactics used to socialize the new faculty. Relying on the reported socialization experiences of seven full-time faculty members from six of the seven colleges that comprised a community college district, the study explored how an orientation program facilitated their adjustment process. Finally, the researcher sought to identify ways to improve full-time community college faculty socialization experience. Most of the faculty in this study, although having no specific training to teach at the community college, were able to build relationships outside their individual colleges, acquired new skills, and gained access to valuable district resources, as a result of their participation in a yearlong comprehensive orientation program. Three significant findings resulted from this study. The first major significant finding of this study was that the incorporation of a social apparatus, such as the "retreat" into an orientation program, facilitated group cohesion and identity among the new faculty. The social structure of the retreat provided new faculty with an opportunity to connect with one another at an emotional level. They were able to expand their social networks beyond their immediate colleges. A second significant finding was that faculty became more confident and comfortable in their teaching roles as a result of the skills they acquired following their completion of the comprehensive orientation program. The monthly sessions, which were held every 4th Friday provided the faculty the opportunity to acquire and develop new skills to effectively discharge their responsibilities. The third major finding of this study was that because faculty had access to district resources, to develop their skills, they became more closely tied to their institutions. Finally, recommendations are made to improve new faculty socialization experience during their adjustment process.

Download or read book New Adjunct Faculty Orientation Practices at Community Colleges Creating a Culture of Inclusion written by Lindsay Marie Armstrong Vance and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an emerging need to better understand how orientation practices and strategies affect a sense of belonging for new faculty members, especially the growing number of adjunct faculty hired at community colleges throughout the U.S. each year. Establishing an orientation process for newcomers helps to ensure that new members are better able to navigate uncertain occupational conditions, new cultural contexts, and new role expectations. For new adjunct faculty joining community colleges, a robust orientation process and effective self-directed orientation strategies may promote a greater sense of inclusion, role clarity, and alignment with institutional initiatives and practices. This multi-site embedded case study focused on defining specific orientation practices and strategies adopted by educational leaders and adjunct faculty members from English and math departments at two community colleges in Southern California. Through interviews with recently-hired adjunct faculty and educational leaders at the institutional and department level, as well as an analysis of orientation practices and documentation, the study makes explicit the ways that newcomers navigate new faculty roles at a given community college as well as the ways that educational leaders design orientation processes. The resulting case studies describe the organizational socialization process that newcomers at each department and institution undergo, as well as successful practices that span both institutions. Further, the study identifies prosocial activities that new adjunct faculty adopted to increase their personal sense of inclusion and orientation as new faculty members. Some of the most promising practices for educational leaders include establishing both formal and informal orientation activities, developing a communication strategy, and providing resources for new faculty members that promote social connection, leadership activities, and professional growth. Promising practices enacted by individual adjunct faculty members, which were found across sites and departments, included establishing a presence on campus, networking with staff and faculty, and adopting the mindset of established faculty members.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temporary and adjunct faculty members are widely used by higher learning institutions to supplement full-time staff. These temporary faculty members are oft-times considered disposable employees by the organization and other full-time faculty. This sometimes results in inadequate or sub-par performance by these temporary faculty members. Employee orientation is the first opportunity an institution has to connect with employees, but many times it is not used to its fullest potential. This pilot study will examine the existing orientation program at a local technical college that utilizes a good number of temporary faculty members and assesses the current orientation process. The data gathered from the study will be used as a basis for further research and improvement of the current process at this technical college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with This timely volume addresses the urgent need for new strategies and better ways to serve community colleges’ present and future students at a time of rapid diversification, not just racially and ethnically, but including such groups as the undocumented, international students, older adult learners and veterans, all of whom come with varied levels of academic and technical skillsThe contributing researchers, higher education faculty, college presidents, and community college administrators provide thorough understanding of student groups who have received scant attention in the higher education literature. They address the often unconscious barriers to access our institutions have erected and describe emerging strategies, frameworks, and pilot projects that can ease students’ transition into college and through the maze of the college experience to completion. They offer advice on organizational culture, on defining institutional outcomes, on aligning shifting demographics with the multiple missions of the community college, on strengthening the collaboration of student and academic affairs to leverage their respective roles and resources, and on engaging with the opportunities afforded by technology.Divided into three parts – understanding today’s community college campuses; supporting today’s community college learners; and specialized populations and communities – this book offers a vision and solutions that should inform the work of faculty, administrators, presidents, and board members.
