College teachers all too often still play Sage on the Stage - lecturing to rooms full of passive and supposedly absorbed students. The cutting-edge opposite is still supposed to be the Guide on the Side - facilitating wherever students themselves are already going, mentoring and coaching them along the way. But who says that these are the only - or the best - alternatives? This book advances another and sharply different model: the Impresario with a Scenario, a teacher who serves as class mobilizer, improviser, and energizer, staging dramatic, often unexpected and self-unfolding learning challenges and adventures with students.In this book, the author argues that to pose a single alternative to lecturing is profoundly limiting. In fact, he says there is no reason to have to choose between "e;student-centered"e; and "e;teacher-centered"e; pedagogies. The best ways to teach and learn are both. The same applies to the false choice between "e;active"e; students and "e;active"e; teachers - there can be more than enough activity for everyone. In particular, the author argues that we need a model in which the teacher is notably pro-active - a kind of activity for which certain theatrical metaphors seem especially appropriate.Picture a college teacher who regularly sets up classroom scenarios - challenging problems, unscripted dramas, role-plays, simulations, and the like - such that the scenario itself frames and drives most of the action and learning that follows. For teaching as staging, the primary work of the teacher is staging such scenarios. The basic goal is to put students into an urgently engaging and self-unfolding scenario, trusting them to carry it forward, while being prepared to join in as needed.This book offers a conceptual and practical framework for Teaching as Staging, grounding the approach with illustrative and sometimes provocative narrative from the literature as well as the author's own practice.Teaching as the Art of Staging offers a visionary challenge to the prevailing models of pedagogy. The book presents a thoroughly practical model that opens up new possibilities for anyone interested in dramatic new directions in teaching and learning.

Finding the right candidate for administrative, professional and faculty positions is one of the most important tasks that any institution or enterprise undertakes. However, few higher education professionals receive training on the search committee process, but are expected to serve on or lead committees. This book provides advice, training, and a step-by-step guide for conducting a rigorous, thorough search. Following the expert model presented in this book will virtually guarantee successful searches. This guide furthermore provides advanced diversity selection techniques that are not commonly found in many resources inside or outside of higher education, and that have become institutional priorities in the context of demographic changes and globalization that require that higher education serve more diverse populations and compete internationally. This guide covers the complete cycle of hiring, starting with defining the position and forming and briefing the committee, through cultivating a rich and diverse pool of candidates and screening and evaluating candidates, to making the selection, successfully completing the search successfully, and welcoming colleagues to campus.This volume includes over 30 templates that are designed to be copied and used as training handouts or as handy reference and resource materials that provide guidance at various stages of the search process. The over two dozen vignettes included can be used as training case studies or as expert advice that illuminates key concepts that are helpful with improving the quality of the search process. The guide includes:1. An expert step-by-step search model.2. Dozens of templates, samples, tools, plus a bank of interview questions.3. Diversity recruitment and selection protocols and techniques.4. Resource guide with advice, case studies, examples, and training materials. Coverage includes:* How to Build a Successful Search* Recruiting Guide* How to Design a Diverse Selection Process* Minority Recruiting Resources* Interview Guide* A Bank of Interview Questions* Screening Methods * Sample Forms, Templates, Checklists* Legal, Ethical, and Regulatory IssuesThis guide serves the needs of administrators who shape hiring policy and goals, committee chairs and members. It is also a resource that human resources professionals can use to train, equip and support search committees.A complementary website at www.SearchCommittees.com offers additional resources.
