Learning from Change Landmarks in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education from Change Magazine 1969-1999

Edited by Deborah DeZure Foreword by Theodore J. Marchese

"...provides the reader with a single rich resource from which to draw inspiration, models of good practice, and foundations upon which to build future initiatives....The collaborative work contains more than 160 excerpts and articles organized across 13 broadly defined subject areas. Each topic is introduced by experts who help the reader understand the breadth and complexity of the material presented....Although the 13 topical chapters are helpful if you are looking for specific categories, I often simply pick up this book and randomly read when I have a few moments to seek inspiration - and I don't think I have ever been disappointed. How many books can make that claim?"

-- AAHE Bulletin

"This book is a rich resource that has already found its way onto higher education bibliographies. DeZure frames the text with opening and closing remarks that provide noteworthy reflection on the changes in higher education over this significant period of time. Teaching and learning, she concludes, has become more "democratized," providing access and lowering barriers across nearly every line imaginable."

-- Journal of Chemical Engineering choice for Summer Reading 2001

"Of particular use to the Chair who is newly thinking about a specific issue--say science reform or evaluation of teaching--is that, by reading the introduction to a section and the articles and excerpts to illustrate its topic, he or she can get a quick and useful overview of the history--issues and dilemmas, innovations (both faddish and enduring), the pressures for and against change--documented over three decades in Change. This broad perspective is a rich resource for the new or younger Chair."

-- The Department Chair

"(This) book succeeds...as well as being a rich and absorbing read. There are many ways in which this collection could prove useful. At a minimum it is a brief and clear introduction to important debates from the last three decades concerning teaching and learning in higher education. This collection would be a very good text for a graduate seminar that prepares students for the teaching part of their vocation. Administrators...will find good summary pieces here. Similarly, staff who seek to recruit and retain diverse students for various kinds of colleges, will find much that is useful."

-- Teaching Theology and Religion

Since its inception in 1969, Change magazine has been the bellwether of higher education. It has framed the key issues confronting the academy, attracted the best minds, and shaped the debate.

In this important collection, Deborah DeZure and a panel of contributing editors have selected landmark articles on teaching and learning in higher education published in Change from its launch to the present. Through the articles and incisive commentaries we follow the controversies, witness the reception of innovations, and trace the threads of continuity of the past thirty years. What emerges is both an indispensable set of perspectives and a rich resource of models and ideas.

The book spans a period that began in the turmoil of student unrest in the '60s, and concludes at the close of 1999 with higher education grappling with the issues of purpose, accountability, technology and changing demographics.

What is striking about these articles is the vitality and relevance of the voices from the past. They offer valuable insights and inspiration as we plan for the future, and consider how to foster effective teaching and learning environments.

Organized by topic, the articles in each section are introduced by a recognized authority in the field. Deborah DeZure's Introduction and Conclusion offer both the context and an analysis of trends.

Learning from Change constitutes both fascinating reading and an important compass for administrators in higher education, directors of faculty development, and deans, department chairs and faculty engaged in leadership roles in the academy. It is an invaluable introduction and survey for anyone who wants to familiarize him or herself with the issues and trends.

Deborah DeZure is Director of Faculty and Organizational Development and Sr. Advisor to the Provost at Michigan State University. She has published widely in such periodicals as Academe, Change, and The AAHE Bulletin and is active as a consultant, workshop presenter, and keynote speaker. She is a Contributing Editor of Change and Senior Fellow at AAC&U.

Theodore J. Marchese is Senior Consultant at the Academic Search Consultation Service. He served as Vice President of the American Association for Higher Education and as Executive Editor of Change magazine.

          Service Learning in

        the  Disciplines Series

Edward Zlotkowski

These practical guides by AAHE are intended for faculty and service-learning directors, combining the "how-to" information and rigorous intellectual framework that teachers seek. The distinguishing characteristic of the series is that the contributors to each volume are scholars writing for peers in their own discipline. Each volume discusses how service-learning can be implemented within a specific discipline, and what that discipline contributes to the pedagogy of service-learning. Each of these twenty-one titles offers the theoretical background and practical pedagogical chapters describing the design, implementation, and outcomes of specific service-learning programs, as well as annotated bibliographies, program descriptions, and course syllabi.

* Reviews of the first edition:

"Finally, higher education has an intelligent guide for recruiting administrators--an activity often taken for granted and not always thoughtfully carried out." -- Paul A. Elsner, Maricopa Community College District

"The book we've needed ... the Turabian of search." -- James M. Heffernan, State University of New York

This Handbook focuses on administrative searches below the level of the presidency--the searches for vice-presidents, deans, directors, and coordinators for which the appointment of a search committee is the norm. It is written for practitioners--for the institutional leaders who will plan the search, form the committee, and later make the appointment; as well as for the chair and members of the search committee itself. It is intended as a guide and a fund of ideas to promote better, more informed and more effective practice.

The second edition of this acclaimed book reflects the extensive changes that have taken place in the hiring climate. Video-conferencing allows travel-free interviewing. The Web permits desktop research and has given rise to the online posting of openings. Federal and state regulations about hiring and employment have grown apace. The use of search firms has expanded from the presidency to other administrative posts. The shift in student demographics is increasing the need for faculty-staff diversity. Perhaps the most significant change is the recent sharp decline in the size of applicant pools for administrative posts.

All these factors add up to a different–and more challenging–set of tasks for campus leadership and search committees. To unpack these issues the Atlantic Philanthropies provided a grant to AAHE and the Academic Search Consultation Service to fund a national advisory board, undertake extensive literature reviews, and conduct focus groups and numerous interviews with committee chairs and others.

The new edition of this classic and authoritative source of advice for finding, selecting, and appointing the best people to key administrative positions is informed by this extensive research.

Theodore J. Marchese is Senior Consultant at the Academic Search Consultation Service. He served as Vice President of the American Association for Higher Education and as Executive Editor of Change magazine.

Jane Fiori Lawrence is Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at the University of California, Merced.

Contents

Introduction; 1 The Vacancy: An Organizational Opportunity: Campus leaders know that nothing they do is more important than to recruit, nurture, and; advance the talents of line managers and administrative staff, who make their college or university work. When an administrative vacancy occurs, they see it as a dual opportunity for their institution: first to rethink a function—the role and goals of a position, and the character of; person needed to make it work—then to make an appointment that helps to achieve them;

2 The Committee: Composition, Charge, and Ground Rules: In this chapter we assume that the institution has completed the work outlined in chapter 1, has a good sense of what it wants from a search, and will appoint a committee to conduct it. We now address issues that confront the appointing officer as he or she gathers and charges a committee, then raise matters the officer and committee will weigh together to get the search off to a good start.;

3 The Job: Identifying Preferred Qualifications: The search committee now has its charge plus a good sense of itself, its calendar, and its terms; of work. It is ready for its initial substantive task of search: to determine as precisely as possible; what it will search for.;

4 The Search: Recruiting a Candidate Pool: An injunction heard from every search veteran we spoke with was that “committees have to; undertake active search,” meaning vigorous recruitment. We’re not sure who exactly advocates; “passive search” (an oxymoron), but the behavior proscribed is clear enough: the hapless search; committee that says at the start, “Let’s place an ad and see what comes in.”;

5 The Screening: Identifying Talent among Applicants: As the date for application review arrives, a week of intensive reading lies ahead for the committee. Members will now cull through what seem daunting piles of application materials to locate candidates of highest promise. In this chapter, we show how the committee can screen; a hypothetical set of 60 applications down to 6 or 8. It’s a task that demands care. These are choices about real people, with candidates and your campus alike trusting your judgment.;

6 The Interviews: Knowing and Courting Candidates: This longest of the Handbook’s chapters will help your search committee work through an; important set of next questions: how to interview your remaining candidates, how many to; bring to campus, how to structure those visits for mutual learning, and how to complete your evaluation of the finalists. By chapter’s end, the committee should have gathered all the information it needs to proceed with recommendations to the appointing officer.;

7 Making the Appointment: At long last the committee is ready to realize the main point of its work: the recommendation of; candidates to the appointing officer. That officer in turn will need to weigh, offer, negotiate, and; conclude an appointment. All parties then need to bring that appointee into the institution and; position in ways that set him or her up for success; Web Sites, Resources, and Associations; Annotated Bibliography; Acknowledgments; Advisory Board; About the Authors; Index.
