Brief Discussions On Teachers Management From The Contemporary American State University

As the representative of the contemporary developed country, American higher education has formed the different characters because of the influences of its pluralism, high opening, market economy, politics, history, etc. State university is one pioneering work in the American higher education history and is also one of American characteristic higher schools. State university has the main influence on cultivating persons with the political, economic or technological ability for each state.Teachers are one main factor constituting school, from some point, teachers level stands for the school level. The former president of Harvard University James Bryant Conant has ever said:"The university credit is one generation and one generation teachers'quality ,not its dormitories and person numbers. If the university wants to stand up, teachers must be excellent."Based on the history research method, the paper makes the broad research on American higher school. For examples, Harvard College, the earliest establishment school which mainly cultivated cassocks from the different denomination, Land-grant College formed by Land Grant Act, The Johns Hopkins University, the representative of disquisitive-style universities, Community college which serves for the society and keeps the social stabilization, and at last the web university and the company university formed with the development of scientific information technology and under the drastic market competition. From these, the paper leads one conclusion: without the teachers management, the American higher education system's hierarchy cannot be perfect.The paper discusses the state university's teachers management model from the following four aspects:Firstly, the teachers'main right is"learning freedom", their main responsibility is to teach, make scientific research and develop the social service; Secondly, the teacher employment is accepted engagement system, from the application process, the title assess, the rising model to the way cultivating advanced studies for promoting teachers'personal qualities; Thirdly, how will teachers perform their responsibility about teaching and scientific research and developing social service, so the cultivated students may adapt to the social development and can be satisfied with the market's demands, then the university's competition will be boosted up and the country's economic strength will be advanced; Fourthly, teachers enjoy the flexible labor-age system and welfare treatment so that they will work securely, then exert more potential.In the development of high education, the American stated-owned universities gradually develop a set of rules to administer the teachers that have been universally recognized. The following rules are mainly included: rationalizing the structures of teachers, improving the teachers'academic credentials, applying the open invitation principle into the employment of teachers, increasing the proportion of part-time teachers, reducing the cost of running school, etc. While there are some problems among the teachers management for American state university. For example, with more and more severe market competition, the state government reduced accordingly the state university's outlay imbursement, and then the state university looks upon serving for the state's economic development as the main way getting outlay, so as to accelerate its commercial tendency. Maybe teachers ignore the basic scientific research and teaching work, because they are attracted by money. Additionally, the competition system also bring on the higher school's unreasonable inner resource distribution, effect some subjects'development and ignore some subjects, such as education and humanities among the competition system.
