Описание: Why do decisions in universities take so long and involve so many people? Why isn't growth a priority for colleges? Why can't faculty be managed like any other employees? How can alumni work more effectively with campus leaders? As leaders in higher education with years of experience working with business executives, governing boards, faculty, consultants, and alumni, James W. Dean Jr. and Deborah Y. Clarke have noticed that these questions often arise, revealing that many business-based partners have a limited understanding of academic institutions. This book offers practical guidance for those who seek to invest in and help enhance higher education.
Dean and Clarke advocate for the distinctive missions and structures that make universities unique among American enterprises. And while they acknowledge the challenges often faced when working with academic institutions, they argue that understanding institutional mission is essential to improving the effectiveness of business leaders who engage in higher education. Presenting numerous real-world insights and drawing from interviews with a range of stakeholders, Dean and Clarke chart a path for building and sustaining relationships that work to strengthen higher education.

Описание: In higher education, professional online identities have become increasingly important. A rightly worded tweet can cause an academic blog post to go viral. A wrongly worded tweet can get a professor fired. Regular news items in The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed provide evidence that reputations are both built and crushed via online platforms. Ironically, given the importance of digital identities to job searches, the promotion and distribution of scholarly work, pedagogical innovation, and many other components of an academic life, higher education professionals receive little to no training about how to best represent themselves in a digital space.Managing Your Professional Identity Online: A Guide for Higher Education fills this gap by offering higher education professionals the information and guidance they need to:craft strong online biographical statements for a range of platforms;prioritize where and how they want to represent themselves online in a professional capacity;intentionally and purposefully create an effective brand for their professional identity online;develop online profiles that are consistent, professional, accurate, organized, of good quality, and representative of their academic lives;regularly update and maintain an online presence;post appropriately in a range of online platforms and environments; andsuccessfully promote their professional accomplishments.Managing Your Professional Identity Online is practical and action-oriented. In addition to offering a range of case studies demonstrating concrete examples of effective practices, the book is built around activities, templates, worksheets, rubrics, and bonus materials that walk readers through a step-by-step guide of how to design, build, and maintain professional online identities.
Описание: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived applicability of change tactics, as represented by Nutt's model of four change implementation tactics, by three groups of student affairs staff in the implementation of planned change in the administration of college and university student housing operations. The researcher developed and validated an instrument that presented typical change situations occurring in college and university housing operations. The scenarios were divided into four management function areas of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. following each scenario were four responses that represented Nutt's four implementation tactics. The survey instrument was mailed to three groups of student affairs administrators involved with the supervision and management of on campus student housing. The three administrative groups were the chief student affairs officer, the chief housing officer, and members of the professional housing staff immediately subordinate to the chief housing officer. All groups were from public institutions with on campus housing populations of 2000 or greater. There were 100 administrators in each of the three groups drawn from an institutional sample of 178. simple t-tests and one-way analyses of variance were used to analyze the data. IF significant differences existed, a follow-up procedure, the Bonferroni test for significance, was used to identify specific differences. The results of the study provided support for the application of Nutt's model to change implementation in student housing administration. The study also extended the application of Nutt's model to higher education administration and identified differences in the perceived applicability of the four change implementation tactics. In overall application of the implementation tactics, administrators viewed each tactic as statistically different from the other tactics. None of the three groups of administrators differed in their application of the participation, intervention or edict tactics to change situations. The application of the persuasion tactic to change situations differed significantly between the chief student affairs officers and and both the chief housing officers and professional housing staff. The application of the implementation tactics to change situations within the functional areas of management provided several significant differences among the three administrative groups. The persuasion tactic provided most of the significant difference while the edict tactic showed no differences in application.

Описание: Research indicates that of the pedagogies recognized as "high impact", learning communities - one approach to which, the linked course, is the subject of this book - lead to an increased level of student engagement in the freshman year that persists through the senior year, and improve retention.
This book focuses on the learning community model that is the most flexible to implement in terms of scheduling, teacher collaboration, and design: the linked course. The faculty may teach independently or together, coordinating syllabi and assignments so that the classes complement each other, and often these courses are linked around a particular interdisciplinary theme. Creating a cohort that works together for two paired courses motivates students, while the course structure promotes integrative learning as students make connections between disciplines.
This volume covers both "linked courses" in which faculty may work to coordinate syllabi and assignments, but teach most of their courses separately, as well as well as "paired courses" in which two or more courses are team taught in an integrated program in which faculty participate as learners as well as teachers.
Part One, Linked Course Pedagogies, includes several case studies of specific linked courses, including a study skills course paired with a worldview course; a community college course that challenges students' compartmentalized thinking; and a paired course whose outcomes can be directly compared to parallel stand-alone courses
Part Two, Linked Course Programs, includes a description of several institutional programs representing a variety of linked course program models. Each chapter includes information about program implementation, staffing logistics and concerns, curriculum development, pedagogical strategies, and faculty development.
Part Three, Assessing Linked Courses, highlights the role of assessment in supporting, maintaining, and improving linked course programs by sharing assessment models and describing how faculty and administrators have used particular assessment practices in order to improve their linked course programs.
