From Devaluing to Valuing Teaching: Changes Institutions Can Make with Michelle Miller
In The Chronicle of Higher Education, a question was posed by journalist Beth McMurtrie as to whether or not institutions of higher education truly value teaching (https://www.chronicle.com/newsletter/teaching/2023-07-06), and she offered a list of “red flags” that signal the undervaluing of teaching. In response, Michelle Miller (https://www.michellemillerphd.com/), Professor of Psychological Sciences and President’s Distinguished Teaching Fellow at Northern Arizona University, wrote a post (https://michellemillerphd.substack.com/p/bonus-post-is-your-ihe-truly-teaching) in her “R3 Newsletter,” adding to McMurtrie’s list of red flags and offering her own. In this podcast episode, Dr. Miller discusses her list, which can be reverse engineered to serve as a helpful starting point for those who want to change the institutional culture around teaching at their university.
