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.

Book excerpt: This study explored new faculty satisfaction with participation in a professional development orientation program at a New England-based graduate-level, military institution of higher education. The new faculty orientation program had not been previously explored. The purpose of this study was to describe participant satisfaction with an ultimate goal of program improvement. ^ Certain applied research fields, such as war gaming, lack a supporting academic infrastructure to prepare faculty before arrival. New faculty in the war gaming department studied, rely on professional development, including orientation, to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for success. ^ Research questions focused on orientation program participant satisfaction and improvement recommendations. Responding to faculty needs is a key role of professional development (Sorcinelli, Austin, Eddy, & Beach, 2008). The study applied the Adult Learning Model for Faculty Development (Lawler & King, 2000) as a guiding framework. ^ This study employed a mixed methods, descriptive design, with a sequential explanatory strategy. The quantitative phase used survey questionnaires to gather descriptions of participant satisfaction, subsequently used to inform development of the qualitative phase's standardized interview script. The study focused on two cohorts (N = 9) in one department, at one institution, with no purpose of generalizability. However, using the principle of proximal similarity (Campbell, 1986), comparable institutions may find portions of this study relevant. Sources of bias include the researcher, while not the creator of the orientation program studied, serves as the studied department's professional development coordinator. ^ Findings included identification of the need for a capstone integrating activity, easier access to professional development materials, and desire for a mentoring program. Recommendations include: (1) refinement to the process for explaining new faculty expectations; (2) initiation of a mentoring program; (3) creation of a comprehensive war gaming process description to frame and guide professional development programming, including the new faculty orientation program curriculum; (4) creation and incorporation of a integrating, experiential orientation program activity; and (5) improvement of the organization and access to professional development materials.

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.
