ABSTRACT

Career trajectories within the academic enterprise elicit copious amounts of literature, much of which focuses on individuals who hail from faculty and rise through the academic ranks to college and university administration. However, scholarly discussions that conversely pay attention to administrators who transition to faculty roles are not as abundant even though they may possess unique skills, views, and perspectives that can positively contribute to the student experience. This reflection on practice describes challenges, opportunities, and insights for college and university administrators to make a successful transition to faculty through academic development.

摘要

学术事业中的职业轨迹会吸引大量文学作品，其中大部分集中于从教职员工中走出来并通过学术队伍升至大学和大学行政管理人员的个人。但是，相反地，学术讨论转移到了向教师角色转变的管理者身上，尽管他们拥有独特的技能，观点和观点可以为学生的学习做出积极的贡献，但他们的讨论并不那么丰富。这种对实践的反思描述了大学管理者要通过学术发展成功过渡到教师所面临的挑战，机遇和见解。
