DISTINGUISHED TEACHERS
HONORS CONVOCATION ADDRESS
Dr. Sara AshworthDistinguished Teacher 1990-1991
President Catanese, Vice President Berry. colleagues and students. thank you. Istand humbled by the stature of the individuals who have preceded me. ThisacknowledAment is truly an unexpected surprise but I must admit I embrace it withgreat delight. Thank you I
In the beginnin&. when I wrote myrlnt paperfortoday, there were nopronouncedcrises affecting the university. My ru-st paper was irupiring, optimistic. evenPolyannicl Then the cutbackt began and for many teaching loads and classenrollments increased. Consequently. paper two was less inspirin6 and less optimistic.Then morale dropped. Lines, both tenured and non·tenured. were threatened.centers were closed and 5Ummer A wa.s placed on hold. Paper three. wa.s down rightneutraJ I Then on September23rd a university-wide faculty meeting convened and forthe rlJ"St time conver$a.lions about quaJity teaching on the university level werelegitimiudl An invitation was extended to the faculty to identify criteria forexamining quality teaching. Could it be that perhaps a shift in priorities may beoccurring? Since that meeting, even~ have remained relatively unchanged. Nextweek ofcourse the events may change, but for the moment my current 4th revisionda.res to broach the topic of tea.ching. My talk is entitled: Shifting Priorities:Creating New Expectations.
Forgive me for this personal comment here, but after the faculty meeting on the23rd I needed to know if the nomination and selection by the Student AdvisoryCommittee were in any way ~guided", directly or indirectly, by outside sources orcriteria. I wa.s reusured that the committee's aetlOru were indeed independent. Itappears this focus on teac.hing is strictly a coincidence.
Duringthe confusion ofthese uncertain times, t felt it would behoove me to avoidthe topte ofteaching. Like others before me. I could elaborate on my area ofexpertise.The only problem: I teach teachingl I teach the structure ofteaching and a SpectrumofTeaching Stylesl
Consequently. teaching is not a light topic for me. I feel at this moment like theminister who came home from services and his wife. who had been ill, asked what hepreached about.

'" preached that the rich should give to the poor. ~ the minister said.~Didl'0u convince them?" the wife sa.id."Yes, he responded, ~I convinced the poor."
I leach pedagogy... il is my task to inspire and challenge students to perceiveteaching as they have never experienced it and to motivate them to accept a newparadigm about teaching. Teaching is indeed H a very special human connection......a connection of many dimensions that .imult:l.neously alTcct the learner and theteacher.
Both are subject to a tacit aa-reement to share infonnation. to deliver and receiveaccumulated knowledge, to replicate and reproduce portions of the past, to acquireand discover new infonnation. and to construct and create pathways for the yetunknown. This conne<:tion, inevitably, invites feelings for one another-feelings ofcooperation or discord, acceptance or rejec:tion. anger or joy. It invites both theteacher and the learner to participate in a unique social context. with its specialhierarchies. NIcs, and network or responsibilities. Teaching ill$pires aestheticsensations and seeks to expand the very bound.1ries orthe selr. It triggers the brain,stimulates the emotions and. at its best. uplifu the human spirit. The evolution orthisconnection is an inescapable process that is at the very core of human development.All cultures provide for it, aJl humaru participate in it, and all educational processesand goals rely on it.· (I)
Such a description of teaching may seem Jol'ty. Out in re31ity it is teaching - it iseducation - that serves to shape mankind. Deliberate teaching is perhaps the mostcrucial profession ofa society.
Although teaching is my present focus, theoretical and applied reseMCh on thestructure of tea.c:hing occupied me for eighteen years. My colleasue and I had idealresearch conditions: eight years of money, minimum bureaucracy. and unrestrictedconditioru to refine and develop our work. Ide31 conditKms for experimentation.
research and implementation of ideas. The next nine years were spent serving thepublic schools: testing the implementation of theol)' in the crucible of reality. Theopportunityto implement these ideas were notonly local, but national andinternational.The need to create, resea.rch and teach has been my passion for 23 years. Unfoldinga paradigm shift does not come quickly or easily.
It is the rela.tionship. not the separation. between research in theory andimplementation that produces stimulatingtcachingexperiences. Relevancy is relatedto practicality, and that leads to innovation and adaptations. These ingredients in aclassroom intrigue and motivate students and professors.
It appear.l the present upheaval in the educational system is focused around ashifting of priorities. a transition, as Tomer delineates it, from the "second wave~
(industrial age) to the ~Third \Vaye~ (information age). Tomer. Naisbittand othershave identified networks ofpatterns which motivates the operations within a society.The second wave (industrial age) aeswired. the largest, the biggest, the most was thebest. Quality was dctermincd by qu.mtity. The third wave (information age) ismotivated by synthesis. an understanding of the relationship of the parts as theycontribute to the benefit of the whole.
It is crisis that generally leads us from one reality to another. And so the financialdilemma this Fall has officially entcred us into the third wave. The past cannot beresurrected; therefore, the criteria which have served us for so long are no longervalid. It is indeed a time ofcreation. the c;:reation of our new image. In c;:reating thisimage we have a choice. We can deby the process by choosing criteria that areanchored in the second wave or we can abandon suc;:h notions and unveil newdefinitions and new commitments.
We are in a c;:ritic;:a1 c;:rossroo.ds inour view ofdefining c;:riteria for quality teaching.Our first instinct will be to replicate c;:riteria of the sec;:ond wave. We will tl)' toquantify teac;:hing just as we have research; how many articles, in what time span, inwhich journals - how many classes, how many students, how long a syllabus. howmany entries in the bibliography, how many essay assignments, how many wrotequestions as compared to "higher order~ questions. etc.• eU:. Our most c;:hallengingtask will be relinquishing the "synchronization of human behavior".(:!) Quantifyingteaching will retard our entry into the third wave and delay expanding our impact onstudents.
ADMINISTRATION AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
The judgmcnts made in Prof Scan are unfair. Analyzing the structureofa secondwave institution toOl third wave institution is legitimate. Dut making judi'lJentsabouta second wave institution based on the criteria of the third wave is unfair andquestionable, The struc;:ture of the university in the sec;:ond wave simply was notdesigned with thc studentas the primary rec;:ipient. Consequently, teaching was nevera recognized asset to the university.
The third wave requires a diffcrent perspcc;:tive of the relationship betwcenuniversity and student. I suggest that it is the student who gives us permission to c;:allourselves a university. Without our students we would be c;:alted a think tank. alaboratory. a center. It is our students who give us the privilege to be called university.And it is our graduates who.define our reputation. Each university stands on theshoulders of its graduates.
It is our expcc;:tations that lead us and acknowledgment that drives us. Duringthis time of creating new cxpec;:tations Ict us not succ;:umb to a single quantifiablestandard of exc;:ellence; such will serve only to limit, to offend and to stifle.
Perhaps the expectation for the third wave need simply be EXCELLENCE. Apolicy that expcc;:ts c;:ontributions but maintains the dignity of individual expressionand diversity c;:ould create unexpectcd dimensions of exc;:eltenc;:e.
In summary, the ubiquitous act of teaching is not ubiquitously good. Yet. it isteaching that molds people and society, It is indeed time to focus on quality teachingand reap the joys of contributing to studcnts who will c;:reate paths for the yetunknown.
Our students and their c;:ontributions serve as our legacy...
Thank you.
