The purpose of this essay is to offer a survey of religious studies capstones from twenty-nine U.S. colleges and universities, to identify the most common frustrations about the capstone, and to observe how departments resolve such frustrations. I conclude that the most successful capstones--in terms of students' performance and faculty…

Young, Michelle D. – Journal of Research on Leadership Education, 2013
There is a pervasive and ongoing perception that leadership preparation is a problem.

Barden, Dennis M.; Curry, Janel – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2013
Colleges and universities looking to recruit leaders from within the faculty ranks will face more and more difficulty. From their respective positions--as a provost (Janel) and a search consultant (Dennis)--they often hear senior executives in higher education say that building a new generation of faculty leaders will be a major challenge in the…

Hall, Donald E. – College English, 2011
Many teachers have known of (or been members of) departments in which all of the potentially successful chairs--after having proven themselves by running subunits or graduate programs--have decided to devote themselves solely to research or teaching, and to leave department administration to whoever is willing to do it or whoever can be talked…

Hanstedt, Paul – Liberal Education, 2012
Changing a curriculum is already stressful enough without finding new ways to create anxiety, discontent, and rancor. To provide a truly integrated liberal education, the author contends that educators must not only change their curricula--the courses they offer--but they must change what they do in the classroom, the kinds of papers and…

Ianetta, Melissa – College Composition and Communication, 2010
This essay argues that a trend in histories of literary and writing studies is to bifurcate the origins of the fields and so engage in those modernist narrative fallacies described by Jean-Francois Lyotard. Such works limit our understanding of past practices and the longstanding connections between disciplinarity and labor. (Contains 2 notes.)

Olson, Gary A. – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2013
Over the last decade, and in the context of the fiscal crisis in the nation in general and in higher education in particular, a debate has raged over the value of humanities research. Various commentators have argued that unlike nonhumanities disciplines, fields such as English studies and other humanistic disciplines bring very little into their…

Zirkel, Perry A. – Communique, 2012
Response to intervention (RTI) is a major current issue at the intersection of general and special education, with the school psychologists in their usual central position.

National Art Education Association, 2020
The arts disciplines (visual arts, music, theatre, and dance) merit and require formal study.

The arts merit and…

Ireland, Marie; Hall-Mills, Shannon; Millikin, Cindy – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2013
In this response to Spaulding et al.'s examination of state education agency (SEA) guidance on severity ratings, these authors contend that Spaulding et al. provided an incomplete view of current practices in public schools. These authors state that, ultimately, school speech-language pathologists (SLPs) must follow all state regulations and local…

Colander, David – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2009
Like many liberal-arts institutions, Middlebury College, where the author teaches, has a problem: Too many students want to be economics majors. Economics enrollments keep growing, and adding more faculty members to the department seems to only increase the demand. Professors at other liberal-arts colleges confirm that the phenomenon is widespread…
