Cole :
I’m trying to imagine one of our 30 vice presidents trying to manage a classroom. 😂

I hate when faculty use a blanket word, “administrators”. Who do you mean? Do you mean advisors? Financial aid? The Registrar’s office? Career Services? Campus activities? ResLife? Athletics? The Deans and their staff? The financial accounting team? The course IT support team? The ID and student IT team? Library staff? I absolutely think the deans should teach a course because they were chosen as academic leadership. But if all these offices especially the student facing ones teach courses, who is going to be available to help students and parents? For the faculty support offices, you want them to stop and teach a class?

michelle :
What do you mean by "lived experience?" Isn't research the lived experience in most fields? Who better fit to teach something like astrophysics than someone who is a published astrophysics scholar?

Why is a projector absolutely essential? Humans learned for millennia without technology; some classes work better if students and professors don’t have tech to rely on. (I work on ed tech, and it’s a bigger scam than for profit unis.) What does “lived experience” in a discipline mean?

courtgeorge_ :
Genuine question: what classes do you imagine administrators are qualified to teach? I teach math (mostly calculus and above) and, respectfully, there is not a single administrator at my institution that I trust to even know the content, let alone is capable of explaining it to students.

Focusing on the “ROI” of a degree program is part of the problem.

asianninja05 :
I mean two of these are kind of department dependent. Math and physics classes don’t need projectors, and the process of becoming a professor in these two areas is the lived experience.

80sMusicSean :
If you saw my schedule as a provost from 7 am until 8 or 9 pm and the weekends, then you would not want me teaching knowing that I couldn’t give the students the valuable attention and feedback to live up to my teaching standards, let alone the preparation I used to give.

Kevin Harris M.Ed :
I work in enrollment at my college and I have been trying to get an adjunct job for years, but apparently if you are a classified employee they just won’t let you do any teaching. I am more than capable of teaching intro to college, or a first year experience course.

Awesome. Looking forward to time travel so I can get lived experience in the history of Medieval Europe!

Dr Sarah Manville :
We would love to teach (and have asked repeatedly to do so). Unfortunately faculty/departments often gatekeep courses and will not allow qualified administrators to have lecturer status. This is a faculty problem, not a admin problem.

I teach history…does the Trump era count as lived experience?

Heavy on #3. Why do I have colleagues who have never taught in a K-12 school but teach future teachers on how to effectively teach and run a classroom in a K-12 school…? 😭

faculty should have to have to take some pedagogy/andragogy classes to maintain employment

mjd20210 :
Why would administrators need to teach a class. I was in student affairs and I was teaching in many different settings and could tell you more about my students than any classroom prof.

College admin here and I teach at least one class onground, one online, and mentor student research! So important!

gabster_radster :
Agreed! I also think all instructors should have some sort of structured professional development around how to actually teach in the classroom. Being an expert in your field does not make you an expert in teaching and learning. It may give you great insight, but it’s an incomplete foundation.

What is “lived experience” in, say, math? English? History?

Amanda, EdD :
And… there should be an exchange program where faculty, admins, etc. have to work a day or two a year on the front lines of student affairs… LOVE the idea of admins teaching... Fingers crossed for me… I'm heading back into the in-person classroom for the first time in three years! I've been primarily online.

Careers academics should not be hired as teachers/professors.

Dr D :
I dont use slide decks. im not dependent on projectors. which also requires me to know my stuff and not lean on a deck (ok, I do keep notes handy). also better for the student since I keep the notes on one part of the board when I move to another, so they dont need to worry like when a prof advances a slide too fast.
