Authors: Apuzzo, M. Pauline

Page Count: 7
Publication Date: 1968
Descriptors: College Faculty, Private Colleges, Teacher Education, Teacher Education Programs, Teacher Evaluation, Teacher Orientation, Teacher Recruitment, Teaching Methods, Teaching Models, Two Year Colleges
Abstract: Conferees representing 49 2-year colleges and the National Faculty Association of Junior and Community Colleges were asked to discuss the following topics: (1) recruitment, orientation, and preparation of 2-year college teachers; (2) evaluation of teaching; (3) new teaching methods and strategies, and (4) faculty involvement in academic governance. The latter two topics were left undeveloped, but two orientation models and one evaluation model were presented. Only the evaluation model is attached to the report. The conferees resolved that the two undeveloped topics of this conference be the basic concern of the 1969 conference, and recommended the following to AAJC: (1) establish a "clearinghouse" for private 2-year colleges at the national level, e.g., a column in the Junior College Journal; (2) establish an office with 2-year college faculty concerns as principal interest; (3) increase circulation of the Junior College Journal and coverage of the needs of 2-year college faculty.
