Faculty development is active and ongoing participation in professional activities that contribute to excellence in teaching and support an articulated agenda of scholarship, research and/or creative production.
Faculty development at UF is comprised of five domains that recognize the multiple roles faculty play within their departments, colleges, the university, and the wider community: Instructional, Scholarly, Professional, Organizational, and Service. These domains are aligned to current UF tenure and promotion dossier categories and reflect best practices in higher education.
Faculty development activities are considered successful when the individual faculty member's goals in these areas and the institutional strategic goals are being met simultaneously.
Faculty Development at the University of Findlay is based on the following principles.
- Strong administrative support
- Alignment of faculty development with institutional strategic initiatives
- Sensitivity to identified needs
- Individual and institutional accountability
- Atmosphere of caring and trust
- Collaboration and shared vision
- Celebration of successes
