In this segment, I’ll share six more things I’ve learned about faculty development in higher education settings beyond the
five principles I shared in the earlier episode. The additional six are:
- Faculty should be oriented to use the systems/methods in faculty development they are expected to use when teaching.
- Faculty development should be tied to actual teaching/learning activities as summative outcomes.
- Faculty development is best viewed in cohesive “bundles” rather than a la carte items (e.g., “course” v. “session”).
- Faculty development must address the context in which teaching/learning will occur (i.e., “how we do things here” + vocabulary).
- Faculty development must be married to impact evaluation.
- Faculty development programs must address certain essential components.

In this episode, I’ll share five things I’ve learned about faculty development in higher education settings. (They may be relevant to other contexts as well.) In brief, they are:
- Faculty development must align with strategic goals of senior administration and with needs of faculty.
- There is no “good time” for faculty to participate in substantive faculty development.
- It is useful to incorporate extrinsic (and intrinsic) motivation for completing faculty development.
- There is power in connecting interdisciplinary faculty to dialogue with each other about teaching and learning.
- There should be a balance between individualized (”just-in-time”) learning and a cohort-based approach.
