发帖数: 6300 | 1 Stop Teaching Young Christians About Their Faith
In my last post, I summarized the studies and publications that describe the
flight of young people from the Church. A compelling cumulative
circumstantial case can be made to support the fact that young college aged
Christians are walking away from Christianity in record numbers. What can we
do about it? What can be done? Whenever people ask me this question, I
always say the same thing. STOP TEACHING YOUNG CHRISTIANS. Just stop it.

Written by Dave Bohon
If you want to witness the eventual direction of “diversity” in America,
you may want to take a long look at what is happening in Canada. Under the
new Education Act poised for implementation in Alberta, Christian schools
and homeschool parents would be prohibited, as part of their academic
program, from teaching children that homosexuality is sinful.

发帖数: 1233 | 4 我自己的经验教训（教训为主）就是一定要把teaching当成一个重要的工作去做，投入
一些心甘情愿的精力，学生会感觉到你是不是想帮他们学习。
我是phd student，我一直奇怪为啥我自己觉得课讲得很明白学生还是最后三项给低分
，为什么系里一些英文很差的phd student反而拿高得发指的teaching evals。后来我
发现，我的几项反应teaching能力的分还都挺高，但是后几项反映这门课有没有用的都
比较低。我又发现其他新教课的phd student们普遍反应第一次教课太花他们时间，貌
似我好像从来没有这个问题，于是我开始怀疑是自己对待teaching态度的问题了。
其实也是受我老板影响，他本身teaching不太差，但是经常嘟囔teaching占他research
时间，讨厌teaching等等。我第一年教课起就不太像其他phd student那样对teaching
充满兴奋，特别怕teaching挤占我做research的时间，再加上对自己口语比较有信心，
就在备课上省之又省，内容讲得简单，考试也简单，结果分数特别低，学生普遍觉得无

发帖数: 2501 | 5 首先，我一直说的是基础课。你拿10个学生的课做例子，那是基础课么？
如果学生超过30-40个，课堂问题会很少的，即便有一般也就是因为老师讲错了、笔误
什么的，不会有进阶问题。相反，关于问答，online teaching有crowd优势，FAQ和
online forum上的回答速度比一般的office hour快多了。事实上，给出最好答案的一
般是优秀的学生，反而不是老师或TA。我建议大家去瞅瞅有5000人以上的Coursera课程
论坛。
另外，视频也可以监督和考勤，也可以在规定时间和地点开放，可以配合在线的quiz。
相反，你见过超过50人的课次次点名么？
我说存在危机的是中后的teaching school。这些学校的问题不是课堂教育质量，也不
是文化，而是生源。如果父母花40K送孩子去一般般的teaching school，另一选择是同

记得我上market那会儿，很少有学校要求teaching demo，有些学校就邀请一些本科生
一起参加job talk。这几年有这个要求的学校越来越多了，我们学校也是。从不同job
candidate的表现来看，确实可以差异不小，最糟糕的情况是不清楚什么是teaching
demo，都没有事先的准备。你能提前想，认真问，仔细准备，就是个很好的开始了。
就我们学校和我们专业的情况来看，知己知彼，百战不殆，可能是最重要的原则。比如
，你可以明确而又礼貌的问问search committee：这个teaching demo需要的时长，二
十分钟还是四十五分钟，你准备起来会很不一样；上课的对象，一年级本科生还是四年
级本科生，他们的兴趣和接受能力差别很大；上课的地点及人数，大的lecture
theater 还是小的 seminar room，你的讲课方式可能也会不同。最重要的是上课的内
容，一般的情况下对方会让你随便讲，比如你自己的job market paper以比较易懂的形
式讲给学生听。但是也有的时候招你来是为了特地讲某一门课，这个时候可能会对你有

发帖数: 11 | 38 这个话题很有意思。之所以有这个争吵，我想是因为很多人觉得teaching school是
research school的backup，也就是说如果找不到research school才去找teaching

说实在的，原来我也有这种想法。但当我当了ta，后来interview找teaching school的
工作，到现在在teaching school教书，才完全意识到教书和作research是完完全全不

There is some economy of scale to be gained when you teach more courses at
the same time. It also naturally imposes a limit on the amount of time you
can spend on teaching. The biggest advantage, however, is that when you are
not teaching or only teaching 1 course, you have big chunks of time to focus
on research.
My regular teaching load is 2-2. I generally prefer doing 3 in the fall and

发帖数: 19 | 41 I have some success in improving my teaching evaluations. I like to share my
experience here. I teach undergraduate in a big public university (top 50
or higher). The class size is about 40s.I attended teaching seminars,audited
other colleagues' courses, and asked other faculty to sit in my own class
for feedback. I also searched education literature on how to improve
teaching evaluations. Here are some methods that I find effective:
1. Make sure that your teaching notes, homework assignments an |

tell us your background
why do you like our university
what courses can you teach if you join us
what is your teaching experience
what research plan do you have if you join us (there is no pure teaching
school now. those traditionally so-called teaching schools now also require
research in order to get funding)
how do you plan to interact with students
how do you plan to collaborate with our existing faculty
其它请补充

发帖数: 166 | 43 我朋友神经科学（neuropsychology）的postdoc，开始琢磨着想找以teaching为主的
faulty position。因为是刚刚着手,所以现在一头雾水中，真诚请教版上各位前辈，如
言语过于幼稚，请不要见怪，拜谢了先。
1.teaching school faculty position 的广告一般会登在哪些杂志或期刊上？该从哪
儿入手？
2.US teaching experience重要吗？是必需要有还是＂perfer or plus＂？
3.Previous teaching experience是必须正规的授课吗？比如说如果帮老板training
techician算不算呢？
4.我听说，teaching position 的申请是有季节性的，大概每年几月间的openning 最
多呢？
5.一般的salary会是多少呢？ |

发帖数: 1359 | 45 most research-orientated university's regular teaching load is 2 courses a
year. If 2 courses a year is what you get after teaching reduction as a new
AP, I think the teaching load is a little high. What is the regular teaching
load of this university?
Also, you need to ask what kind of class you are going to teach, and will
you have TA? A big undergraduate course without TA can be a nightmare.
Developing a new research oriented course can take a lot of your time. |

发帖数: 155 | 46 Most of my AP colleagues and AP friends don't like teaching. Although it may
bring instant-gratification, it is taking time away from research, grant
and papers, which are the most important things for the tenure promotion.
I didn't like it either, especially when I had to teach things that I didn't
know much about. Preparing for such lectures became very stressful. Two-
hour lectures can seem very, very long, especially when I feel the students
have no clue what I am talking about. Neither the ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 315 | 47 今年看到好几个下面这样的assistant professor申请的材料要求：
Send application materials, including statements of research and teaching
interests, curriculum vitae, and arrange to have three letters of
recommendation submitted by e-mail
请问这个“statements of research and teaching interests”应该是下面哪一个呢？
1）application letter 里面包含research 和teaching statement？
2）three files: application letter+research statement+teaching statement?
3) 2 files: research statement+teaching statement?
我到底要写几份材料呢？ |

The market is efficient. If the teaching school pays you less, the
industry
probably will also pay you less. Otherwise, nobody wants to go to teaching
schools and these school will have to die. So considering job security,
time
flexibility, and the winter/summer breaks, plus pension benefit, teaching
schools should be close to the industry average.
For accounting/finance major, even teaching schools are paying > 120,000.

发帖数: 258 | 50 拿到tenure letter 之后在这里报了一下，受到大家都鼓励，一并谢过。现在想再罗嗦
几句干的东西，希望对后来者有点用处。
首先声明我是文科，teaching school。对此不感冒的同事可以跳过了。我还是很喜欢
teaching school，尤其是这些特点：
1. Tenure 相对容易。至少我觉得吧。尤其小学校更是如此。
2. 教书为主，research 要求低。适合喜欢教书的朋友。
3. 工作时间相对不长。尤其是我们文科，不要做实验什么的。
4. 与人打交道多。我就是喜欢和人交流，而不是对着电脑写paper.
5. 同事间相处融洽，小学习更是如此。因为多数同事也都和我一样，好说好玩好动
。
6. 更深入了解这个社会的方方面面。这个可能是文科的一些特点。我常用一些热点
的文化问题让学生课上讨论。
要在Teaching school 混好首先就是必须教书教得好。我们这里基本上是一票否决，教
书不好就呆不下去。这个相对来说是国人的弱点。我是文科，从博士起，语言运用的较
多，读书期间实习什么的也帮助不少。有志于此地同行可以在这方面多准备。论文... 阅读全帖 |
