Six Branches of Academy Faculty Development Tree1. Diversity & Inclusion: Seeks approaches that foster an institutional climate, and classrooms in particular, in which students and other

members of the campus community feel that they and their contributions are valued. Explores ways of infusing diverse content and culturally responsive pedagogy. Examples: Engaging diverse perspectives through group work, responding to insensitive student comments, and incorporating universal design, non-Western content, and perspectives of groups not traditionally represented in the curriculum.

2. Internationalization: : Builds on principles of international education to enable faculty to acquire competencies in intercultural communication, effectively internationalize their curricula, articulate global learning outcomes, and establish assessment protocols to ensure the acquisition of global competencies by all students. Examples: Global Gurus Hangout discussions, Read Around The World book discussions, Infuse This! curriculum infusion workshops, and Faculty International Field Seminar “Teaching Africa Today.”

3. Core Teaching Strategies: Deepens understanding of techniques that form the established core of classroom practice and related activities such as planning class time and grading. Examples: Classroom management, balancing lecture/discussion/group work, rubric design, syllabus design.

4. Renewing Traditional Teaching: Surveys the many new ways of presenting content to students, reviews research and faculty’s personal experience about what works best from traditional teaching practices such as lecturing, and explores ways of revitalizing teaching practice by combining established and new techniques. Examples: Brain-based learning and mindfulness/contemplative pedagogy, cooperative/active learning, visual literacy retreat, and service learning.

5. Adjusting to Audiences: Explores when and how approaches to teaching can or should be adapted for specific student populations. Examples: Fast Track/adult learners, first-generation college students, returning combat veterans, students served by Access and Disability Services.

6. Innovation & Creativity: Encourages experimentation with and reconceptualization of teaching practice; aims to transcend the asso-ciation of “innovation” solely with technology and “creativity” solely with the arts, assisting all faculty in viewing themselves as creative and innovative. Examples: Inaugural lecture/performance series, Just-in-Time Webinars, support for SoTL research, Tech Fest.

Join us this fall as Read Around the World, the Harper Faculty Book Seminar explores harem life in Fez, Morocco during the late 1940s through the early 1950s. Written as a fictive memoir, Fatima Mernissi, a well-respected Moroccan sociologist, creates a personal and touching story of life within a traditional harem. Mernissi introduces us through heart-felt dialogue to the thoughts and desires of the women in her family who fantasized of venturing into the larger world dominated by men while creating a sisterhood of support within the family home. Mernissi also adds support to the story by including her professional insights into historic and modern Muslim culture. Come, experience, and discuss Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood. This book selection will be moderated by Patricia Hamlen who traveled to Morocco in 1999 and wrote an ethnography of her own entitled “Dreams of Trespass Continue for a Young Moroccan Woman” published in 2007.

Book Discussions | Schedule Fall 2015

Book DiscussionsEach semester, the Academy for Teaching Excellence sponsors two all-faculty book discussions. One selection focuses on classroom strategies and one focuses on significant issues in higher education.

For Fall 2015, the classroom strategy-related book is Contemplative Practices in Higher Education: Powerful Methods to Transform Teaching and Learning, and the large issue selection is Lani Guinier’s The Tyranny of the Meritocracy: Democratiz-ing Higher Education in America.

The Tyranny of the Meritocracy: Democratizing Higher Education in America

By Lani Guinier. Beacon, 2015.Blended Format.

We might think that the college admissions process is a meritocracy, but Guinier argues that the emphasis on test scores and personal qualities reinforces an unequal status quo. What appears to be a meritocracy essentially amounts to tyranny that keeps the most privileged at the top of the educational system and reduces opportunities for poor and disadvantaged students. She proposes an alternative, in which colleges would value “democratic merit” over test scores. That would mean judging students—and judging the success of higher educa-tion—not by test scores but by the work and service performed by the graduates who leave. Only then can we reclaim higher education as a cornerstone of democracy. Guinier discusses the crucial role that community colleges play in expanding the democratic reach of higher education.

If the author’s name sounds familiar, you might be remembering that she was President Clinton’s nominee as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights to lead the Civil Rights Divi-sion of the Department of Justice, but her nomination was derailed over political controversy over her written legal opinions. Opponents dubbed her the “quota queen” and eventually President Clinton withdrew her nomination. Professor Guinier is the first woman of color to receive tenure in Harvard’s Law School.

Note: Every faculty member who signs up will receive a complimentary copy of the book. Faculty members will be able to sign up for a discussion and receive their complimentary copy at the Diversity Symposium on October 30, 2015. This book discussion is cosponsored by the Academy for Teaching Excellence and the Office of Diversity & Inclusion.

Book Discussions

Contemplative Practices in Higher Education: Powerful Methods to Transform Teaching and Learning

By Daniel P. Barbezat and Mirabai Bush. Jossey-Bass, 2014. Dates and format TBA.

The president emerita of Wellesley College, Diana Chapman Walsh, is one of many to laud this work as ground-breaking. Dr. Walsh writes, “This engaging and informative reflection on the uses of introspective and contemplative practices in higher education reveals a quiet revolu-tion whose time has come. Barbezat and Bush have brought us a path-breaking book that speaks from and to mindful educators intent on helping students focus their attention and resist distractions, find more of themselves in their academic work, and bring more of them-selves into the task of crafting lives of meaning, purpose, and compassion.”

Harvard Graduate School of Education dean emeritus Jerome T. Murphy called it a “must-read for anyone who cares about the future of college teaching and who seeks a vision of what it could be.”

Chapters range from covering the theoretical and practical background behind contempla-tive pedagogy to discussion of classroom practices and use of guest speakers and field trips.

Note: The first fifteen (15) faculty members who sign up for the discussion will receive a complimentary copy of the book.

Still AliceDate: Thursday, September 10, 2:00 p.m.-3:15 p.m.Location: TBD

Alice Howland, a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard University with a successful husband and three grown children, was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease, a tragic diagnosis that changed her life forever. Come to join us with Still Alice (by Lisa Genova) book discussion. Let’s explore some facts about Alzheimer’s disease: its discovery, predispos-ing factors, diagnosis and treatment/management. Open to all Harper employees, especially faculty in health-related fields.

MissionThe Academy for Teaching Excel-lence promotes a vibrant and diverse teaching culture, for full-time and adjunct faculty, of mutual respect and camaraderie by encouraging experimentation, research, discovery, interdisciplin-ary and discipline-specific conver-sations, reflection, assessment, and celebration of best practices. We regard each individual holistically, as an evolving teaching profes-sional and scholar dedicated to continuous growth and improved student performance.

VisionWe are a faculty community devoted to career-long growth through continuous research into and encouragement of best prac-tices in the art, craft, and science of teaching. We view our professional growth as essential in advanc-ing Harper College as a leader in cultivating students who practice integrative thinking and who emerge as ethical, informed global citizens.
