Mission of Faculty Development and Growth The mission of Faculty Development and Growth is to:
Through workshops, discussion groups, and services for faculty, Faculty Development and Growth offers ACA faculty members a number of opportunities to:
We encourage your participation in Faculty Development and Growth programs!
Whether full-time or part-time adjunct, faculty are
responsible for keeping current in both the scholarship and the pedagogy of
their field(s) and related areas. The faculty’s continuous growth and
development helps sustain their vitality which should be apparent in the
content and quality of their teaching and scholarship. Moreover,
faculty who are aware of new developments in their area are better able to
assist their colleagues in curriculum development and improvement.
We also encourage you to research and attend workshops and events outside of
ACA.
Faculty development programs include: teaching improvement activities;
research; formal or informal study; publication; consulting; travel;
participation in conferences and institutes; and such other activities as
may be reasonably expected to assist faculty growth and development.
Faculty development programs are considered in reviews for evaluations of
faculty performance.
Faculty Development and Growth meets with individual faculty:
• to interpret student feedback
• to increase student involvement
• to enhance and improve teaching |
