Book Description
Since the first edition of A Guide to Faculty Development was published in 2002, the dynamic field of educational and faculty development has undergone many changes. Prepared under the auspices of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education (POD), this thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded edition offers a fundamental resource for faculty developers, as well as for faculty and administrators interested in promoting and sustaining faculty development within their institutions. This essential book offers an introduction to the topic, includes twenty-three chapters by leading experts in the field, and provides the most relevant information on a range of faculty development topics including establishing and sustaining a faculty development program; the key issues of assessment, diversity, and technology; and faculty development across institutional types, career stages, and organizations. "This volume contains the gallant story of the emergence of a movement to sustain the vitality of college and university faculty in difficult times. This practical guide draws on the best minds shaping the field, the most productive experience, and elicits the imagination required to reenvision a dynamic future for learning societies in a global context." —R. Eugene Rice, senior scholar, Association of American Colleges and Universities "Across the country, people in higher education are thinking about how to prepare our graduates for a rapidly changing world while supporting our faculty colleagues who grew up in a very different world. Faculty members, academic administrators, and policymakers alike will learn a great deal from this volume about how to put together a successful faculty development program and create a supportive environment for learning in challenging times." —Judith A. Ramaley, president, Winona State University "This is the book on faculty development in higher education. Everyone involved in faculty development—including provosts, deans, department chairs, faculty, and teaching center staff—will learn from the extensive research and the practical wisdom in the Guide." —Peter Felten, president, The POD Network (2010–2011), and director, Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning, Elon University

Faculty Perceptions of an Urban Community College Faculty Learning Community

Pages : 146
Book Description
"Community colleges are open access institutions offering a wide array of courses to a diverse group of students. The classrooms are complex due to the nature of open access, where student readiness for a college classroom varies, significant diversity, and a wide range of educational goals. Faculty development is essential for instructors to develop, improve and hone their teaching practice in order to effectively support the success of their students in these complex classrooms. This qualitative research study centers around a faculty learning community, at an Urban Community College (UCC), focused on improving student success. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of UCC faculty about the FLC. The research question sought to uncover how these perceptions influenced faculty's participation in this faculty development program. Work motivation theory was used to analyze the findings from this study. Themes which emerged from the analysis of the findings indicate that instructors who voluntarily participate in faculty development are motivated by professionalism and passion. However, these individuals develop their skills primarily through informal activities including trial and error and learning from and with their colleagues. Whether informal or formal, instructors will participate in faculty learning communities based on their perceptions about who is involved and the extent to which they trust and respect these individuals. Further, the combination of a strong campus community, positive personal relationships between faculty, strategic utilization of perks and incentives, and a compelling programmatic focus can improve participation in formal faculty learning communities."--Abstract, p. 1.
