As Barbara Schneider says in her "Introduction" to this issue of Pedagogy [8 (3): 2008], this website launches with "two essays that reflect on personal
experiences that illuminate professional development activities from
two different insider perspectives. Lynne Rhodes tells the tale of initiating
and sustaining a junior portfolio program writing assessment at her institution,
a project that has grown to include cross-campus collaborations that
operate as a form of powerful professional development outside of formal
development structures. Suzanne Smith, alternately, reflects on twenty years
of being the object of professional development, providing a perspective often
missing from our professional development activities and ultimately making a
persuasive case for the inclusion of marginalized faculty in the planning and
execution of professional development projects" (Schneider 410).
