Preparing for College and University Teaching Competencies for Graduate and Professional Students

Preparing for College and University Teaching Competencies for Graduate and Professional Students

This book is a guide for designing professional development programs for graduate students. The teaching competencies framework presented here can serve as the intended curriculum for such programs. The book will also be an excellent resource for evaluating programs and will be an excellent resource for academics who study graduate students. This book presents the work of the Graduate Teaching Competencies Consortium to identify organize and clarify the competencies that graduate students need to teach effectively when they join the professoriate. To achieve this goal the Consortium developed a framework of 10 teaching competencies organized around three overarching questions:• What do graduate students need to achieve by the end of their graduate education to be successful teacher-scholars?• What do graduate students need to understand about higher education to have successful careers as educators?• What do graduate students need to do to be successful teachers during their graduate student careers?Although much work has been done to identify the competencies of effective teachers in higher education only a small portion of this work has been conducted with graduate student instructors. This is an important area of research given that graduate students are critical in the higher education academic pipeline. Nationally graduate students teach between 25% and 50% of courses offered at the undergraduate level. Graduate student teaching is also critical because during early teaching experiences teachers establish a teaching style and set of teaching skills which will endure as graduate students enter the professoriate. It is important to develop a teaching competency framework that is specific to graduate student instructors as they often have unique needs and roles as teachers. For example graduate student instructors are in the unique position of becoming experts in their field concurrent with learning to teach. Moreover as many professional development programs for graduate student instructors evolve based upon factors such as available resources and perceived needs of graduate students this framework will be a useful aid for thoughtfully designing strategic evidence-based comprehensive professional development opportunities and programs. | Preparing for College and University Teaching Competencies for Graduate and Professional Students

College Success for Students on the Autism Spectrum A Neurodiversity Perspective

College Success for Students on the Autism Spectrum A Neurodiversity Perspective

Helping both college faculty and student affairs staff enlarge their understanding of the experiences of students on the autism spectrum this book provides guidance on putting supports in place to increase college success. Uniquely the authors bring the perspective of neurodiversity to this work. Many individuals on the autism spectrum have been stigmatized by the diagnosis and experience autism as a negative label that brings with it marginalization and barriers through an emphasis on deficits. Autistic self-advocates within the neurodiversity movement are leading the charge to rethinking autism as neurodiversity and to celebrating autism as central to identity. Neurodiversity is not a theory or a way of being it is a fact and neurological diversity should be valued and respected along with any other human variation such as race ethnicity gender and sexuality. The book provides the practical guidance needed to help neurodivergent students succeed with chapters that address a variety of key issues from the transition to college to career readiness after graduation. The authors address support services faculty and staff roles and enhancing academic success. They also cover navigating the social demands of college life working with families and mental health. The final chapter brings it all together describing the elements of a comprehensive program to help this student population succeed. Difficulties with social interaction and communication are one of the defining characteristics of autism and often persist into adulthood. It can be assumed that difficulties with social interaction and communication may also impact college success both socially and academically. But the answer for these students is not necessarily to try to fix these issues since the fact that these students have been admitted to a degree-granting program shows that they can be successful students. Instead there should be an emphasis on helping faculty staff and students understand the diversity of human behavior while helping autistic students achieve college success through a support system and by providing accommodations and services when needed. | College Success for Students on the Autism Spectrum A Neurodiversity Perspective

Beyond Access Indigenizing Programs for Native American Student Success

Beyond Access Indigenizing Programs for Native American Student Success

This book argues that two principal factors are inhibiting Native students from transitioning from school to college and from succeeding in their post-secondary studies. It presents models and examples of pathways to success that align with Native American students’ aspirations and cultural values. Many attend schools that are poorly resourced where they are often discouraged from aspiring to college. Many are alienated from the educational system by a lack of culturally appropriate and meaningful environment or support systems that reflect Indigenous values of community sharing honoring extended family giving-back to one’s community and respect for creation. The contributors to this book highlight Indigenized college access programs-meaning programs developed by not just for-the Indigenous community and are adapted or developed for the unique Indigenous populations they serve. Individual chapters cover a K-12 program to develop a Native college-going culture through community engagement; a “crash course” offered by a higher education institution to compensate for the lack of college counseling and academic advising at students’ schools; the role of tribal colleges and universities; the recruitment and retention of Native American students in STEM and nursing programs; financial aid; educational leadership programs to prepare Native principals superintendents and other school leaders; and finally data regarding Native American college students with disabilities. The chapters are interspersed with narratives from current Indigenous graduate students. This is an invaluable resource for student affairs practitioners and higher education administrators wanting to understand and serve their Indigenous students. | Beyond Access Indigenizing Programs for Native American Student Success
