Book excerpt: In the current climate of accountability that characterizes public higher education in the U.S., policymakers rely heavily on institutional performance outcome measures such as retention and graduation rates for the purpose of evaluating the instructional effectiveness of colleges and universities. In recent years, criticism based on such performance outcomes has been leveled at these institutions as regards their heavy reliance on part-time adjunct faculty. Critics have argued that these outcomes show that part-time adjuncts teach less effectively than full-time permanent faculty, and therefore do not deliver value for the government funding allocated to the institutions that employ them. Much of the existing research about the teaching effectiveness of part-time adjunct faculty relative to full-time permanent faculty, however, is characterized by inconsistent findings. Many of these studies rely on student performance and behavioral outcomes to measure instructional effectiveness. It can be argued that, in general, the outcome-oriented approach to assessing instructional effectiveness is inadequate, because it does not take into account the environmental circumstances that act as inputs to the educational process and impact faculty's ability to teach effectively. A balanced assessment of instructional quality requires examination of these inputs, particularly the ways in which government and institutional policies and practices influence instructors' teaching practices, as well as assessment of institutional or student performance outcomes. This dissertation describes a mixed methods study that examines and compares the reported teaching practices of full-time and part-time community college faculty; assesses the degree to which these practices align with or diverge from the principles associated with the Chickering and Gamson (1987) Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education construct; and employs the Bronfenbrenner (1986) Ecological Model as a framework for exploring how the environmental factors that shape faculty's day-to-day professional experiences influence their teaching practices. Important findings of this study include the fact that full-time faculty employ progressive teaching methods to a greater extent than part-time faculty; that part-time faculty feel excluded from the community of their school or department; and that institutional policies and practices that limit part-time faculty access to teaching-related resources can inhibit their implementation of effective teaching methods.

Book excerpt: The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.

Download or read book Evaluating, Improving, and Judging Faculty Performance in Two-Year Colleges written by Charles Finley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-03-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With nearly 48 percent of all U.S. undergraduates attending community and technical colleges, the two-year sector is an integral part of our nation's higher education system and a vital part of our nation's future. The need for effective faculty evaluation and professional development within two-year colleges stems partly from the size of this sector and also from the diversity of its program offerings and its student body. Miller and his co-authors bring timely, authoritative, and practical material to two audiences in this rapidly growing field of education: first, teachers who have permanent appointments but could use professional development and improvement; and, second, the already large and still growing number of part-time instructors who could use more evaluating and improving. This book is intended to be a direct assistance for these groups as well as to administrators who must make personal decisions. This professional book is for human resource managers and staff development officers of two-year colleges. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on human resource management, according to Miller and his co-authors, that will result in better personnel decision making.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The employment of adjunct faculty is often what allows community colleges to offer excellent yet affordable education; however, this group is often deprived of the professional development and basic amenities enjoyed by their full-time colleagues. Academic administrators are those charged with hiring and supervising adjunct faculty, and this book provides them with examples of successful programs that highlight the important connection between teaching quality and effective hiring, orientation, acculturation, and professional development practices for their constituency. These models come from community and technical colleges across the United States and can be implemented into any two-year system. Through the use of research, case studies, and hands-on how-to guides, checklists, and samples, this volume’s expert contributors explain how to understand part-time faculty— how to motivate them and value them as members of the academy. They go on to offer practical advice for recruiting, integrating, supporting, and retaining these great teachers.
