Cutting Through Barriers: Cultivating Buy-In for Faculty Development Programs
Session TypeWorkshop
Yes
- Faculty Development
The idea of faculty development programs can be met with eye-rolling or general disinterest as another ask of a faculty member’s already stretched time. As a potential complement or stand alone session to the Faculty Development/VCE Committee Panel proposal on defining Faculty Development, this workshop will focus on budling faculty buy-in for participating in faculty development programs. We will discuss motivation as a large group and follow this with 2 break out sessions where attendees can choose any of 4 options to participate. Breakout topics will include opportunities to discuss obtaining funding, troubleshooting their own current development programs, maintaining engagement through challenges and how to give credit for faculty time on educational endeavors. Break out group leaders will provide handouts or tools as well as help participants with their own specific challenges to enact change at their home institutions. A QR code with a link to a google drive with these resources will be provided to particpants.
