173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions Consider this quotation: “ Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher .” Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions Consider this quotation: “ The most extraordinary thing about a really good teacher is that he or she transcends accepted educational methods.” Margaret Mead, as qtd in The Teacher and the Taught (1963)

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions Consider this quotation: “ As a teacher, you must always find new ways of growing, and you must always strive to find new ways of helping your students grow. Only in growth can the crop be harvested.” Lylee Style (Yorktown Heights, NY 2002)

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions But if teachers are being hired part-time to “just teach” without the means to do the full job of teaching, teaching is far less likely to inspire learning and teachers themselves are far less likely to realize the rewards of identity and integrity that the profession offers.

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions Keith Hoeller observes that : “ (M)any adjuncts participate in non-teaching duties… In most cases, however, adjuncts are … not compensated for their extra time and effort outside the classroom, and there is no guarantee that such extra effort will be rewarded with raises, promotions, or even a tenure-track job...” From David Moltz. “The Part-Time Impact” Inside Higher Ed. Nov 16, 2009 at http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/11/16/ccsse

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions Growth and reflection, so important for good teaching, are rarely possible on a frantic treadmill.

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions Why should TESOL be concerned about the prevalence of part-time positions in U.S. higher education?

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions Elaboration of CAW Principle of Compensation and Institutional Support “One Faculty Serving All Students”: http://www.academicworkforce.org/CAW_Issue_Brief_Feb_2010.pdf (p. 3) Institutions should establish minimum levels of per-course compensation for all faculty members serving off the tenure track that are equitable to those of tenure-track faculty members so that all faculty members have the support necessary to devote the time and effort required to teach college-level courses. To ensure fairness and transparency, compensation levels should be a matter of public record.

To ensure fairness and transparency, compensation levels should be a matter of public record. Good.

173094 - Forum for Fair Employment (FFE) Academic Session Employment Status: Effects and Actions “ As soon as they (the colleges) start paying all these costs, then the difference (between hiring full-time and part-time faculty) shrinks.
