Teaching, Scholarship and Sharing: Perspectives on Community

Accounting Education, 2011, vol. 20, issue 3, 227-237

Abstract: Accounting educators face ongoing needs for professional development. However, given constraints in available resource support and time demands, faculty members may perceive such efforts in terms of an 'either/or' proposition. An alternative view, presented here, conveys the power and potential of a 'both/and' approach built upon a model of shared strengths in the pursuit of professional development. Specifically examined is a university-wide faculty development initiative in the USA. A demonstrable theme is that each of us has the potential to add value to our own professional pursuits and to those of colleagues throughout our careers.
