Book Synopsis Connecting Non Full-time Faculty to Institutional Mission by : Leora Baron-Nixon
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"

Book Synopsis The Current Landscape and Changing Perspectives of Part-Time Faculty by : Richard L. Wagoner
Download or read book The Current Landscape and Changing Perspectives of Part-Time Faculty written by Richard L. Wagoner and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2007 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on nationally representative quantitative data from the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, qualitative fieldwork, and the lived experiences of administrators and faculty members, this volume provides a variety of perspectives on part time community college faculty. The multiple perspectives are intended to offer a complex and conflicted picture of community college part-time faculty, as there are no easy answers to the questions that arise from colleges' heavy reliance on their service. This volume seeks to encourage discussion and debate on the topic, update and advance the scholarship on part-time faculty and to highlight best practices and useful examples that can help two-year colleges continue to play a vital role in American higher education. Community colleges are the only sector of public, nonprofit postsecondary education in the United states where part-time faculty outnumber full-time faculty. This has significant implication for community college administrators who are responsible for recruiting, hiring, and supporting part-time faculty; for college, district, and state leaders who help set policies regarding the use of part-timers; and for all part-time faculty who seek to receive equitable treatment as they strive to enhance the quality of education for community college students. This is the 140th 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.

Book Synopsis CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric 1994 by : Gail E. Hawisher
Download or read book CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric 1994 written by Gail E. Hawisher and published by . This book was released on 1996-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume lists and annotates more than two thousand articles, books, dissertations, and papers that, with few exceptions, appeared in 1994. It includes an index of authors and editors, a subject index, and entries cross-referenced according to subject matter. The 1994 Bibliography looks dramatically different from the Bibliography Erika Lindemann founded more than ten years ago. Many more titles now relate to fields not represented in early editions. Although composition and rhetoric has always borrowed methods of investigation from other disciplines, areas such as critical theory, science studies, feminist theory, technology studies, and postmodern theory were much less a part of the discipline a decade ago. These fields are well represented this year. This volume, like the 1993 Bibliography, also differs from early editions in that it contains a section on electronic discussion groups or listservs, including information on how readers may join the various groups. Yet the mission and goals of the Bibliography remain the same: to ensure that it is sufficiently comprehensive that it can continue to function as a major bibliographical resource available to scholars and teachers in rhetoric, composition, communication, and literary education. As usual, the CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric draws on a large group of experts in the field. Annotations--which accompany every entry in this volume--describe a publication's contents and are intended to help users determine the entry's usefulness. Annotations are brief and are meant to be descriptive, not evaluative: they explain what an entry is about but leave readers free to judge for themselves the work's merits. The CCCC Bibliography of Composition and Rhetoric remains a critical bibliographical resource, one that reflects and respects the variety of scholarship in composition studies and that exerts a constructive, productive influence on the composition and rhetoric community.
