Faculty development

This project began in the summer of 1992 with the support of a course development grant from DePauw University s Faculty Development Fund. Additional financial support from DePauw University s Presidential Discretionary Fund also is acknowledged. Portions of the first draff were written during a sabbatical leave in the Fall semester of the 1993/94 academic year. A Fisher Fellowship provided release time during the Fall 1995 semester to complete the manuscript s second draff.

Considerable dialogue and collaboration between faculty members in the science and mathematics departments at UWG resulted in the development of a National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Talent Expansion Program (STEP) proposal to address the retention of students in the STEM disciplines and at the institution. This project included first-year learning communities (LCs), summer research experiences, additional in-class and out-of-class support using peer-lead team learning and/or supplemental instruction, and faculty development for participating STEM faculty members. As the centerpiece of the first-year LCs, three seminar courses were developed and will be the focus of this chapter. Here, we describe three first-year seminars, each of which addresses different facets of first-year STEM student success and report on the successes and challenges this model presented for both students and faculty members.

For faculty to effectively transform their courses, they need to learn the rationale for such change, identify nontraditional content, explore universal design strategies and student-centered classroom interactions, and examine their own biases and preconceptions about students and teaching. Course transformation workshops and other ongoing faculty development strategies are a must ...

The re-design is done in collaboration with local partners. In two out of the three cases, there have been established faculty development courses on PBL in order to train the faculty. As advisor to the Ph.D. students, I visited all three institutions after the Ph.D. students returned for implementation and in some cases contributed to the faculty training.
