A Handbook for Supporting Today's Graduate Students
Despite continued growth in enrollments, graduate program attrition rates are of great concern to academic program coordinators. It is estimated that only 40 to 50 percent of students who begin Ph.D. programs complete their degrees. This book describes programs, initiatives, and interventions that lead to overall student retention and success.Written for graduate school administrators, student affairs professionals, and faculty, this book offers ways to better support today’s graduate student population, addresses the needs of today’s changing student demography and considers the challenges today’s graduate students face inside and outside of the classroom. The opening section highlights the shifting demographics and contextual factors shaping graduate education over the past 20 years, while the second describes institutional practices to develop the requisite academic and professional development necessary to succeed in master’s and doctoral programs. In conclusion, the editors curate a conversation about different ways institutions can support graduate students beyond the classroom.
Welcome to the Academy
This book adopts the arts-based methodology of social fiction to explore the professional becoming of a teacher educator, Patricia Morgan. The aim of the book is to examine and generate new knowledge about how cumulative life and educational experiences shape teacher educators as teachers, doctoral candidates, academics, mentors and colleagues. Through reading Patricia’s story, you will explore how she reflects on, and tries to make sense of, who she is as a learner, educator and professional. Grounded in research on the work of teachers and teacher educators, Patricia’s story will encourage you to reflect on your own experiences and support you in becoming the professional that you aspire to be.
