This yearlong new faculty program is designed to encourage incoming full-time and part-time faculty to engage in critical thinking about their teaching practices and philosophies and to foster a collegial network of support. Information pertinent to the fulfillment of teaching responsibilities will also be shared.
Sessions are held on selected Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:00 (exact dates are located on the course calendar). Some sessions will include basic information to assist new faculty members in transitioning to the College. Others are designed to provide a venue for sharing promising teaching practices and materials. Sessions will often be interactive in nature and thus require "homework" between sessions.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this yearlong program, faculty members will:
1. Have an interdisciplinary network of colleagues, both new and seasoned.
2. Learn new teaching strategies that promote student success.
3. Start or continue the development of a promotion portfolio.
4. Have knowledge of campus procedures, policies, and resources.
5. Understand what it means to be a citizen of the College/citizen of the department.
