Six MORE Things I’ve Learned About Faculty Development (Episode 12)

August 3rd, 2009
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:

  1. Faculty should be oriented to use the systems/methods in faculty development they are expected to use when teaching.
  2. Faculty development should be tied to actual teaching/learning activities as summative outcomes.
  3. Faculty development is best viewed in cohesive “bundles” rather than a la carte items (e.g., “course” v. “session”).
  4. Faculty development must address the context in which teaching/learning will occur (i.e., “how we do things here” + vocabulary).
  5. Faculty development must be married to impact evaluation.
  6. Faculty development programs must address certain essential components.
