This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter in this volume presents an overview of the faculty personnel challenges facing community colleges; the next three discuss the socialization and professional development of new faculty. Authors stress the importance of understanding differences among the typs of community colleges and the importance of gender and racial/thnic diversity among the facultry of the institutions who educate the majority of undergraduate females and students of color. The volume concludes with chapters on legal aspects related to the faculty employment and the experiences of presidents and senior instructional administrators, giving valuable guidance to those actively involved in the hiring process. At the heart of this volume is the continued commitment to the community college ideal of providing educational access and, through quality instruction, facilitating student learning and success. Previous research indicated that community college faculty retire at or near the traditional age of sixty-five. With an aging faculty, enrollments that are reaching unprecedented levels, and the federal goverment calling for the community college to take an even greater role in workforce training, community colleges will need to both replace significant portions of their faculty and hire additional faculty lines between now and 2020. This next hiring wave has implications for community colleges, the diverse student populations who attend these institutions, and society in general. This is the 152nd volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to develop guidelines for planning a preservice preparation program which would encompass the critical issues in community college teacher education identified in the related literature and by national and state authorities. The secondary purpose was to suggest a plan for a community college teacher education program in Oregon by using the guidelines as the primary basis for a theoretical model of a university teacher education program. Procedures used in the study included identifying apparent critical issues in related literature and securing judgments from two panels of national and state authorities on the importance of these and other issues in planning and developing a preservice preparation program for community college teachers. A modification of the Delphi Technique used in conducting surveys of national and state panels of experts achieved procedural objectives for securing judgments on issues and provided comments and suggestions for additional issues not found in the literature. The Technique was useful in producing increasingly higher levels of agreement by panel members on refined statements, through successive rounds of surveys. Findings of the study were based primarily upon pooled data from both panels of experts. Agreement within and between panels on individual items was analyzed, and comparisons were made to assess congruity with issues extracted from related literature. Findings were summarized in a priority list of critical issues. Priority was based upon high to low agreement level judgments of experts and congruity of those judgments with issues identified in the literature. Guidelines were based primarily upon the priority list of critical issues. Guidelines 1. Field experience or internship in a community college should be provided all prospective community college teachers. 2. Preparation programs should be sufficiently comprehensive to provide for mastery of subject matter in a substantive field leading to a master's degree and for emphasis upon courses or experiences in: a. Use of teaching aids and techniques. b. Philosophy and objectives of the community college. c. The community college student, his nature, needs and background. d. Effective communication, participation in faculty activities and decision making groups and adequate functioning beyond the classroom. e. Understanding and use of research in teaching. 3. Selected teachers presently working in community colleges should be involved in the planning and design of preservice preparation programs. 4. The attitudes of community college administrators toward preservice preparation of their teachers should be determined, and the administrators should be involved in program planning and development. 5. If universities are to have a primary role in providing preparation programs for community college teachers, present teacher education programs should be studied in depth, and, where findings indicate needed changes, recommendations should be made for modification, expansion or adjustment of such programs. 6. Adequate systems for selection and recruitment of prospective community college teachers should be developed. 7. Cooperative arrangements between community colleges and universities should be developed in order to maximize the effectiveness of: content and professional preparation; internships and field experiences; planning, development and review of programs; use of physical and personnel resources between institutions, and; overall coordination and communication of the teacher education program. 8. Effective systems for follow up and evaluation of teachers should be developed cooperatively by universities, community colleges and related resource agencies. 9. Roles, responsibilities and resources of related educational, public and private agencies should be determined and plans made for their involvement in program planning, development and implementation. 10. Sole dependence upon community college inservice programs for preparation of prospective teachers should be avoided. 11. Collectively, community colleges can provide an important source of information and resources for preservice preparation programs. 12. Programs for the preservice preparation of community college teachers should be designed with built-in flexibility in order to retain sensitivity to the changing and special needs of the community college. The guidelines are the primary conclusion of the study. Other conclusions are based upon additional findings not encompassed by the guidelines. Certain implications for program development in Oregon are presented on the basis of related elements found in the process of conducting the study. Recommendations A theoretical model of a community college teacher education program in Oregon is proposed as the cumulative recommendation of the study. The model is based upon the findings, the guidelines developed from critical issues and the conclusions and implications presented. Six major elements in the theoretical model include: 1. Program Planning, Development, Implementation and Review Responsibility II. Administration and Governance III. Instructional Program IV. Field Relations V. Teacher Recruitment and Selection VI. Follow Up and Evaluation of Teachers.

Download or read book Community College Teacher Preparation for Diverse Geographies written by Mark M. D'Amico and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges serve as the open door to higher education for marginalized, place bound, and/or financially challenged students and communities. One of the key ways marginalization occurs in diverse geographies is through access limitations: access to affordable postsecondary education, access to curricula that lead to viable professions, access to diverse educational role models, and access to employment opportunities that can sustain communities. This underscores the importance of understanding “place” when addressing access and equity in higher education and the role of community colleges. The discussion of access and equity through the community college has implications for teacher education. Considering the documented importance of having a diverse teacher workforce in K-12 schools and the current mismatch between the diversity of students and the teachers in their schools, community colleges have a significant role to play. This book explores many topics related to the community college role in K-12 teacher education, including the community college mission, the policy landscape, partnerships, the transfer function, the community college baccalaureate, and others. Throughout the volume, the authors explore implications of access, equity, and geography and conclude with recommendations to guide future research and practice.

Download or read book Connecting Non Full time Faculty to Institutional Mission written by Leora Baron-Nixon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non full-time faculty—whether adjunct, part-time or contingent—has become the lifeline of a vast majority of colleges and universities. They teach many of the foundation and core courses taken by first- and second-year students, teach professional courses in which their own life experiences are invaluable, and step in at short notice to fill-in for regular faculty engaged in research or away on sabbaticals.A survey of over 4,000 institutions conducted by the US Department of Education reveals that such faculty are being hired at a much higher rate than their full-time counterparts--whether in response to increased enrollments, reduced budgets, or changing administrative strategies.The increasing presence of such faculty on campus can conflict with today’s demands for accountability and the pursuit of institutional mission. This book provides academic administrators and faculty developers with proactive, practical and results-producing approaches that can help transform fragmented faculties into integrated and cohesive teaching and scholarly communities.In an easy-to-follow format, this book constitutes a resource of thoughtful and pragmatic strategies to ensure quality and satisfaction both on the part of the institution and the adjuncts. Topics are presented in a thematic sequence that allows decision-makers to focus on their priority areas. The author offers guidance for systematic planning and implementation.The contents are focused on connecting non full-time faculty to core institutional functions and structures: Connection #1--to the institution; Connection #2--to the department; Connection #3--to teaching; Connection #4--to Students; and Connection #5--to scholarship.Originally announced as "Connecting Adjunct Faculty to the Academic Institution"
