It is unsurprising that professors are being asked to do more as universities struggle to meet the financial demands of such a competitive environment. The professor, I think, has always been viewed as a resource. But, the definition of “resource” has changed, or at least evolved to meet the demands of this new environment. What follows originates from my incomplete understanding of the historic role of academics at universities.
From 2000-2008 I taught chemistry and physics at the Wayne County Schools Career Center, a career-technical school for 11th and 12th graders.
In the fall of 2008, I moved into the Dean of Students role, where I was responsible for discipline. I now serve as a supervisor of our animal care, horticulture, and medical programs.
I'm currently a member of cohort 6 in the alternative principal licensure program at the Hamilton County Educational Service Center.
Additionally, I've completed the requisite coursework towards a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with a focus in Instructional Technology at Kent State University.
