Developing Faculty in Liberal Arts Colleges: Aligning Individual Needs and Organizational Goals: The American Campus

Autor Vicki L. Baker, Laura Gail Lunsford, Meghan J. Pifer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2017 – vârsta ani
Developing Faculty Members in Liberal Arts Colleges analyzes the career stage challenges these faculty members must overcome, such as a lack of preparation for teaching, limited access to resources and mentors, and changing expectations for excellence in teaching, research, and service to become academic leaders in their discipline and at these distinctive institutions.

Drawing on research conducted at the thirteen institutions of the Great Lakes Colleges Association, Vicki L. Baker, Laura Gail Lunsford, and Meghan J. Pifer propose a compelling Alignment Framework for Faculty Development in Liberal Arts Colleges to show how these colleges succeed—or sometimes fail—in providing their faculties with the right support to be successful.

Recenzii

"The greatest challenge to liberal arts colleges is the depreciation of their most precious asset—the faculty's passion, dedication, and commitment to educate students to be citizens in a democratic society. Developing Faculty in Liberal Arts Colleges provides a frank, comprehensive diagnosis of how colleges and universities can better align social capital and institutional mission with the human infrastructure needs of a changing professoriate."
 

“The authors have written a thoroughly researched and thoughtful account of the career development of faculty members in liberal arts colleges.  Its broad field of vision offers a wealth of suggestions for enhancing faculty professional satisfaction and personal well-being throughout the academic career.   There is no question in my mind that this book will become the go-to source for understanding the distinctive nature of faculty life in small colleges.” 

"A singularly impressive work of seminal and research-based scholarship."

"This book analyzes the career stage challenges many faculty members must overcome, such as a lack of preparation for teaching, limited access to resources and mentors, and changing expectations for excellence in teaching, research, and service, to become academic leaders. Drawing on research conducted at the 13 institutions of the Great Lakes Colleges Association, the authors propose an Alignment Framework for Faculty Development in Liberal Arts Colleges to show how these colleges provide their faculties with the support to succeed."

"The book offers insights into the faculty experience for tenured/tenure track faculty as well as contingent faculty in LACs. Further, the career stage lens sheds light on the experiences, needs, and challenges faced by faculty across all stages of the professoriate."
