Success Strategies for Adjunct Faculty » (New Edition)

@AUTHBIO= Richard E. Lyons, the Senior Consultant with Faculty Development Associates, consults with and provides workshops to colleges and universities throughout North America. He served as the lead author on three previous books, including Teaching College in an Age of Accountab and The Adjunct Professor's Guide to Success, both published by Allyn and Bacon. Since 1996, he has coordinated the development of adjunct and full-time faculty at Indian River Community College, delivering courses and workshops, providing mentoring, and managing recognition initiatives. He began his career in higher education as an adjunct instructor, and has since served as a full-time professor of business management, department chair, and instructional dean.

Building upon the research and strategies recommended in The Adjunct Professor's Guide to Success, Dr. Lyons leverages his subsequent workshop experiences throughout North America and focused research.

The book adds new self analysis tools that enable the instructor to integrate personal strengths into course planning and delivery, provides additional course management tools, such as a model mentoring agreement and an exam development exercise. Brand new features include testimonials from 28 successful adjunct professors throughout North America, which open and close each of the book's 14 chapters, as well as a new chapter focused on infusing technology into the adjunct professor's instruction. The book includes a rich array of online support resources.
