Primal Origins and Later Correctives for Midcareer Disillusionment.

Boice, Robert

New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n55 p33-41 Fall 1993

Successful renewal programs for such faculty members involve them as mentors for new faculty or partners in contracts for change with departmental chairpersons. (MSE)
