Preparing Future Faculty

Good links to evidence that working too much has negative health outcomes, taking time off has positive health and productivity outcomes "Work-life balance: what do professors do?" by this blogger is another good post.

CV of a Doctor of Education with over 30 years of experience, specializing in providing professional development workshops for professors and administrators.

CV of a Baltimore Superintendent.

PT school at private Catholic university in KY

Use of compass metaphor to conceptualize learning/teaching

Interesting use of ePortfolio, included links to examples of her presentations or links to pertinent articles; maybe a bit long but I think this is really engaging

Most of the ones I looked up were realively bland for my field, but I liked the way Dr. Laprade designed her website and presented her teaching philosophy

Teaching Philosophy from professor in the kinesiology department at the University of New Mexico

This is a good broad example for a health sciences program.

I have the PDF of this if anyone is interested. Individuals who work longer hours, perceive less job-based support for work/family issues, have spouses who demonstrate less support for career goals, and who are less satisfied with day care arrangements report greater levels of work and family stress. Women reported greater academic and family stress and perceptions of less institutional support for balance of work and family as compared to men.

"You'll spot that I haven't mentioned 'work-life balance'. I don't believe in it. There are only 24 hours in a day, and it's all my life. My work is my life, my home is my life, my family is my life and my addiction to mid-century Belgian ceramics on eBay is also my life."

I am certainly interested in having children while I pursue a career in academia. I enjoyed this article because it was a refreshing departure from the usual negativity associated with the topic. Obviously being a parent and an academic are not mutually exclusive titles, so here's someone who talks about how she does it!

So here is an example of a research website, where research is the priority. Probably not somewhere I will be heading professionally but it is interesting to see the various ways ePortfolios/websites are presented based on interests/priorities.

Dr. Foreman's faculty webpage but includes components you'd expect on a personal site (service, teaching philosophy, etc.)

I like how the headers were much more distinguished from the text below (the Maxwell link was a little more difficult to read). It makes sense to see much more verbiage in a History field.

This was similar in structure to the Maxwell link, except the headers were centered. I thought that was a little easier to read, however the minimal spacing between the previous section and the header threw me off. I did not see any service or community/student involvement/mentorship with this one.

I like the layout of this CV, however, if the sections were more distinguished (perhaps lines that separate major categories such as publications vs grants, it might help the reader.

The more I see these two section formats without any horizontal section separation lines, the more I like them. These appear more readable and neat. I think I am going to change mine likewise.

I like the sectioning of this CV compared to the previous post. It is easier to read, and allows for more subsections.

This is the first CV I ever saw that starts with family members. I liked that though. It conveys something good about the person and his confidence level too to go out of the box.

This is an outline of faculty at Old Dominion University. It is not a wholly structured CV but it gives an idea of the research, teaching and experience.
