Although teaching is my present focus, theoretical and applied reseMCh on the structure of tea.c:hing occupied me for eighteen years. My colleasue and I had ideal research conditions: eight years ofmoney, minimum bureaucracy. and unrestricted conditioru to refine and develop our work. Ide31 conditKms for experimentation. research and implementation of ideas. The next nine years were spent serving the public schools: testing the implementation of theol)' in the crucible of reality. The opportunitytoimplementthese ideaswere notonly local, but national andinternational. The need to create, resea.rch and teach has been my passion for 23 years. Unfolding a paradigm shift does not come quickly or easily.

It is the rela.tionship. not the separation. between research in theory and implementation that produces stimulatingtcachingexperiences. Relevancy is related to practicality, and that leads to innovation and adaptations. These ingredients in a classroom intrigue and motivate students and professors.

It appear.l the present upheaval in the educational system is focused around a shifting of priorities. a transition, as Tomer delineates it, from the "second wave~ (industrial age) to the ~Third \Vaye~ (information age). Tomer. Naisbittand others have identified networks ofpatterns which motivates the operations within a society. The second wave (industrial age) aeswired. the largest, the biggest, the most was the best. Quality was dctermincd by qu.mtity. The third wave (information age) is motivated by synthesis. an understanding of the relationship of the parts as they contribute to the benefit ofthe whole.

Itis crisis thatgenerallyleads us from one realityto another. And so the financial dilemma this Fall has officially entcred us into the third wave. The past cannot be resurrected; therefore, the criteria which have served us for so long are no longer valid. It is indeed a time ofcreation. the c;:reation ofour new image. In c;:reating this image we have a choice. We can deby the process by choosing criteria that are anchored in the second wave or we can abandon suc;:h notions and unveil new definitions 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)' to quantify teac;:hing just as we have research; how many articles, in what time span, in which journals - how many classes, how many students, how long a syllabus. how many entries in the bibliography, how many essay assignments, how many wrote questions as compared to "higher order~ questions. etc.• eU:. Our most c;:hallenging task will be relinquishing the "synchronization of human behavior".(:!) Quantifying teaching will retard our entry into the third wave and delay expanding our impact on ADMINISTRATION AT FLORIDAATLANTIC UNIVERSITY students. Preladmtud Prof'-.. Thejudgmcntsmade in Prof Scanare unfair. Analyzing the structureofa second thUvvtity PnmIU and V_ Pl'llidomt £or wave institution toOl third wave institution is legitimate. Dut making judi'lJentsabout Academic Affairs a second wave institution based on the criteria of the third wave is unfair and UDinni~ questionable, The struc;:ture of the university in the sec;:ond wave simply was not cw.CoI-.

Without our students we would be c;:alted a think tank. a laboratory. a center. It is ourstudents who give usthe privilege to be calleduniversity. And it is our graduates who.define our reputation. Each university stands on the shoulders of its graduates.

It is our expcc;:tations that lead us and acknowledgment that drives us. During this time of creating new cxpec;:tations Ict us not succ;:umb to a single quantifiable standard 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. A policy that expcc;:ts c;:ontributions but maintains the dignity of individual expression and diversity c;:ould create unexpectcd dimensions of exc;:eltenc;:e.

In summary, the ubiquitous act of teaching is not ubiquitously good. Yet. it is teaching that molds people and society, It is indeed time to focus on quality teaching and reap the joys of contributing to studcnts who will c;:reate paths for the yet unknown.

Our students and their c;:ontributions serve as our legacy...

Thank you.
