I teach in a public school and saw a posting at our local community college for a teacher education job. It lists the different classifications and their minimum salary...instructor 36,000, assistant 42,000, associate 46,000. I make nearly 56,000 in my current position and wonder if it would be a significant pay cut for me.

I make nearly 56,000 in my current position and wonder if it would be a significant pay cut for me. I meet all of the position requirements (Masters degree, tchg cert and experience, etc.) How do they determine the rate of pay and the rank? And what are the typical hours of a full-time education associate prof? Thanks.

Our full-time faculty are expected to perform over 120 hours of uncompensated, non-contracted orientation, sdvising and registration duties each academic year. Our faculty senate is trying to determine how many uncompensated and non-contracted hours your collegee xpects you to perform. Thanks

He does not like to acknowledge that there is an undergraduate program having already taken down the undergraduate photos of classes of students and only having graduate students photos posted now. He took advantage of the administration decision to paint the hallways in the building "to decree" that all bulletin boards would be coming down and would not be put back up.
My husband had taken advantage of two boards beside his office and two right across the hall in recent years to put up photos of students engaged in his classes, printed photos of the class's visual simulations and current articles and examples of his field of study. In other words the information on "his boards" was timely, current and either course or industry specific. So he put his boards back up and guess what - Sunday night or early Monday morning the chair took them all down!! This fellow operates much as he was probably exposed to in his native land of hegemony, but I would be interested to know if others would say the chair has a right to do this or not.
There are, of course, few if any department faculty meetings, little discussion of even the most relevant department related topics so in a way this is a small, but still very important issue to be addressed. Oh and prior to this event over 20 framed, photos of retired faculty members were summarily taken down and put in a storage closet by the chair's secretary at his behest - because the faculty lounge was going to be renovated. But the faculty lounge does not need to be done and no word on these plans was shared with faculty. Interesting that all of these photos which span 20 years and which my husband has framed on his own time and were quite valued by members as they retired were all of white males.
It is sad the public education has come to this point. But are faculty treated like subordinate children in other colleges? Is there some legal right on which a dept. chair can do such things to limit faculty-student interaction related to courses and/or the industry that one aspires to work in? We take it in stride as he only as a couple of more years at this place, but it is sad to see the negative impact that a few people are having on the careers of an entire department and more importantly on the undergraduate education of so many.
I have studied at Ashworth for over 2 years, various courses & I am very pleased with all aspects of Ashworth. Customer service, student assistance, course study materials, grading turn around time, automatic payment options and my instructor(s) have been wonderful!

I have been a high school English teacher for eight years. The last two years I have been an adjunct instructor at a community college. I have an opportunity to teach full time at the CC where I have been adjuncting, but I'm finding it difficult to make the decision. I love some feedback/suggestions/advise from anyone who has done it! Thanks!
I am about to start my thesis for my PhD, looking to change careers away from 25 years of industry. Should my thesis be related to something I am interested in teaching?
How do you incorporate peer evaluations into grades? Is it appropriate to consider student input?

True Penance
Latin is a language As hard as it can be. You can speak it to your neighbor, You can speak it to a tree. Neither will understand you, No, not in the least! That is, unless your neighbor Is a Roman Catholic priest. Then you can tell him, "MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA!": That Latin confessional sen'ence; And he'll tell you, "...See MoreTrue Penance

I wrote more verses just for her; I hoped she'd take another look At what I'd done when I was home And I had put away my book.
"I haven't time to read your poems!" She snapped. "I'm busy, can't you see? I've other things I'd rather do Than read your poetry."
How mean my teacher was back then To say such hateful thing to me; When I was just a boy of ten And she treated me so cruelly.
"Who am I trying to fool?" I asked. "What am I trying to be? Be done, be done with literature! Only English boys write poetry."
But as I grew, advanced in school, My high school teacher said to me, "Your poems are cool, you're no one's fool; Son, keep writing that poetry!"

They Cash In by Hardy Parkerson on February 5, 2005. © All rights reserved

The women work; the men just play, Both at the poker machines. Some win, some lose; But there's another day.
The machines smile and say, "Feed me your money and win today!" And the people sit and pump it in and win And lose again, and go away. (But there's another day.)
The doctor sits and then he hits, And then he loses all. "Get your money ready, young man! I'll see you now in the back of the hall."
"But, Doc, twenty's all I've got!" "That's all right, I understand! I'll see you now, young man."
"Here, get this filled! Take it before you sleep! You don't need a receipt. Thanks! Come see at my office! (Now it's back to that machine.")
Baseball caps turned front-side back; Bearded old man in sneakers Playin' the machines and winnin', Beside the sweatered girl who loses all.
She says, "I know a better game That we can play, if you can pay." The old man says, "It's a shame, but I'm game. Here, take this and go cash in!"
