Teaching at the People's University: An Introduction to the State Comprehensive University

Bruce B. Henderson

4.9/5 (14785 ratings)

Description:Among the many different kinds of institutes of higher education, those known as state comprehensive universities (SCUs) have traditionally been the most neglected and stigmatized in comparison to traditional liberal arts and research universities and colleges. However, these institutions, many with historical roots in normal schools and state teachers colleges, have graduated a high percentage of students each year. Morevover, SCUs have been willing to provide practical, job-oriented degrees in many fields from education to the health sciences. In many ways, it is these universities that have made college degrees available to the masses—they have been and are the people's universities. A high and increasing percentage of America's college professors and administrators work at SCUs, yet there are no available resources specifically for newly hired faculty at these institutions, which have characteristics unique from the major research universities where many faculty obtained their graduate educations. This book introduces the newcomer to the state comprehensive university and how working there is similar and different from working at other institutions of higher education. Based on the author’s 30 of years teaching at SCUs, this book is a guide to a different culture. It discusses the particular aspects and special problems faculty encounter at SCUs: the differences in student body, size, funding, and student selection and retention rate. It reveals the benefit of working in an environment that emphasizes teaching over research, and dispels some of the negative and misleading assumptions about academic life at SCUs, helping new faculty avoid role conflictand adapt their expectations to forge rewarding careers that benefit their students and their institutions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
