Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sense of belonging refers to the extent a student feels included, accepted, valued, and supported on their campus. The developmental process of belonging is interwoven with the social identity development of diverse college students. Moreover, belonging is influenced by the campus environment, relationships, and involvement opportunities as well as a need to master the student role and achieve academic success. Although the construct of sense of belonging is complex and multilayered, a consistent theme across the chapters in this book is that the relationship between sense of belonging and intersectionality of identity cannot be ignored, and must be integrated into any approach to fostering belonging.Over the last 10 years, colleges and universities have started grappling with the notion that their approaches to maintaining and increasing student retention, persistence, and graduation rates were no longer working. As focus shifted to uncovering barriers to student success while concurrently recognizing student success as more than solely academic factors, the term “student sense of belonging” gained traction in both academic and co-curricular settings. The editors noticed the lack of a consistent definition, or an overarching theoretical approach, as well as a struggle to connect disparate research. A compendium of research, applications, and approaches to sense of belonging did not exist, so they brought this book into being to serve as a single point of reference in an emerging and promising field of study.

Identity in Supervision: Understanding Who Works for You and Who You Work for in Higher Education, will introduce faculty, staff, administrators, and graduate students in higher education to the intersection of identity and positionality to the supervision experience. Specifically, this publication centers on understanding the people behind the positions and how best to support them. The text is constructed in four sections. Section 1: Understanding Supervision in Higher Education contains chapters, which provide an overview of supervision. This overview is essential as later chapters examine specific populations and positions. Section 2: The Impact of Identity on Supervision in Higher Education includes chapters, which ask readers to reflect on how their own identities impact their supervision experience and the experience of their colleagues. Section 3: The Impact of Professional Experience on supervision reviews the specific needs of professionals at different experience levels. Readers will improve their understanding of both those they supervise and their supervisors. Finally, Section 4: The Impact of Functional Area on Supervision contains chapters reviewing the specific needs of professionals in positions in residence life, academic advising, judicial affairs, etc. Supervisors will find this section useful in understanding and supporting these professionals. Each chapter will conclude with two or three reflection questions supporting application. As a result of engaging with this text, readers will be better equipped to understand the impact of identity, experience, and functional area on supervision. They will learn techniques to improve their current practice, reflect on their own needs, and combine ideas from chapters to provide a better experience for all employees. ENDORSEMENTS: "Higher education and student affairs professionals deserve skilled supervisors. Our organizations rely on excellence from professionals and yet, the preparation of supervisors has been sorely lacking in this field. Roger 'Mitch' Nasser, and the contributors of this text, weave together a compelling set of resources and insights that help supervisors and those who report to them to think through how to best build a good relationship. This text can and should be used by professionals at all levels to inform our practice. This resource balances theory, practice, story, and inspiration to progress the field into a new way of honoring the identities that inform the critical relationship between staff and supervisor." — Molly A. Schaller, Saint Louis University "Believe me, this book from the intro on was 'the truth' . I wish I had this before I started supervising. This book is a tool for all of us." — Jerome Holland, Jr , Regis University "Dr. Nasser has gathered a thoughtful mix of quality emerging and seasoned professionals, practitioners and scholars, as well as authors representing a myriad of social identities and functional areas who offer deep insights into one of the most important competencies in higher education practice. This will be the one book I use to teach about supervision." — Tracy Davis , Western Illinois University "This book is long overdue, I only wish I had it sooner! From the sharing of personal narrative, to the deep review of theories on supervision, this book brings the perfect blend of theory and practice to the forefront of our work. It is a “must have” on your shelf for reference and use." — Laura L. Arroyo, University of Colorado Boulder

This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assertion that empathy is an essential characteristic of equity work in higher education demands educators operate from a place of justice, fairness, and inclusive practice. Empathy is a personal quality that allows educators to consider another's perspective to inform the decision-making process about policy, procedures, program and service design, and teaching pedagogy. Thus, engaging empathy in everyday practice supports the potential to create more equitable and inclusive environments as well as standards for serving a diverse student population. Achieving Equity in Higher Education Using Empathy as a Guiding Principle explores what empathy is, how empathy can be developed, and how empathy can be applied in an educator’s practice to achieve equity-mindedness and mitigate inequitable student outcomes in and out of the classroom. The book also argues that self-examination and engaging empathy is a way to thoughtfully examine differences and uphold the values of humanity. Covering topics such as intercultural listening and program development, this reference work is ideal for administrators, practitioners, academicians, scholars, researchers, instructors, and students.

This compelling handbook synthesizes the growing body of research on wise interventions--brief, nonclinical strategies that are "wise" to the impact of social-psychological processes on behavior. Leading authorities describe how maladaptive or pejorative interpretations can undermine people’s functioning and how they can be altered to produce benefits in such areas as academic motivation and achievement, health, well-being, and personal relationships. Consistently formatted chapters review the development of each intervention, how it can be implemented, its evidence base, and implications for solving personal and societal problems.
