各种因素使教师的领导能力面临挑战,包括兼职和非终身教职教师的增加,出版和教授更多课程以及采用新技术和教学法的压力越来越大,终身教职和晋升标准的提高,学术资本主义的提升,以及女性和有色人种的重要服务角色。本文侧重于描述机构代理人所采取的行动以及支持基层教师领导的校园环境的各个方面。虽然有许多条件会抑制教师的领导力(例如,兼职和偶然的教师趋势,不断提高的出版标准等),但我们的研究表明,某些校园条件或特征可以克服变革的力量,包括将领导力视为服务,创建校园网络,解决功能失调的部门动态,培养榜样,支持质疑或挑战决策的教师,确保灵活性和自主性。修改临时教师合同,包括服务和领导。
Various factors are making faculty leadership challenging including the rise in part-time and non-tenure-track faculty, the increasing pressure to publish and teach more courses and adopt new technologies and pedagogies, increasing standards for tenure and promotion, ascension of academic capitalism, and heavy service roles for women and people of color. This article focuses on describing actions taken by institutional agents and aspects of campus environments which are supportive of grassroots faculty leadership. While there are many conditions which inhibit faculty leadership (i.e., part-time and contingent faculty trends, rising publication standards, etc.), our study demonstrated certain campus conditions or characteristics can overcome the forces of change including counting leadership as service, creating campus networks, addressing dysfunctional department dynamics, fostering role models, supporting faculty who question or challenge decisions, ensuring flexibility and autonomy, and altering contingent faculty contracts to include service and leadership.
