- Title
FACULTY/PRACTITIONER EXCHANGES: TWO MODELS IN TEXAS.
- Authors
Stouffer, Willard B.; Williams, Thomas J.; Fuller, Bascombe R.
- Abstract
During the fall and spring semesters of the 1976-77 academic year faculty members from Southwest State University, Marshall, Minnesota's public administration program participated with practitioners from New Braunfels, Texas city government and officials from the Texas Department of Community Affairs in an exchange program that broke new ground in providing linkage between those who administer and those who teach. Other participants in the program were Regions Seven and Eight of the Texas City Management Association. The exchange program involved the use of two different models. The first of these was a one-way exchange, the second a dual exchange. Both models were part of the Internal City Management Association/National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration grant given to the university and to Regions Seven and Eight of the Texas City Management Association. The objectives of the exchange program can be grouped into three categories: curriculum improvement, improved classroom teaching, and development of a closer linkage between the academic and practitioner worlds.
