• The preface to a new white paper from the American Council on Education opens with what its co-author, Steven C. Taylor, concedes is an anecdote that may or may not be representative of college and university faculty members. Taylor encounters a tenure-track professor at an academic meeting who, to the suggestion that instructors should embed career-relevant information in their curricula and teaching, says that's the career center's job, not the faculty's.
• The paper, the latest in a series on teaching from ACE, the largest association of campus administrators, focuses on the ways that colleges and universities should encourage and support their faculty members to connect "learning and work through career-relevant instruction," as its subtitle states.
• Among other things, the paper discusses numerous steps institutional leaders can take to encourage faculty experimentation, get professors thinking beyond their own discipline and better connect instructors to student success professionals, so professors understand their key role in helping students think about their workplace possibilities. Faculty members are, after all, the "greatest single influence on students," the authors write. (Taylor is founder and managing director of ED2WORK, a strategy and research consultancy; his co-author is Catherine Haras, senior director of the Center for Effective Teaching and Learning at California State University at Los Angeles.)
