Meeting Adjunct Faculty Teaching Needs through a Faculty Development Program: It is Possible!
Ovando, Martha N.
A program successful in developing the teaching skills of both experienced and new faculty members at The Autonomous University of the North East (Universidad Autonoma del Noreste) at Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, is described. The program has incorporated several literature-based features of effective programs: presentation of supportive theory of skills, demonstration of competencies, practice in simulated and actual settings, structured and open-ended feedback, coaching for application, individualization, incentives for participation, and administrative support. The program involves four 1-day seminars, beginning with an induction program and followed by planning for teaching and developing the course syllabus, use of teaching strategies and evaluation of learning, and assessment of teaching. Lectures, discussions, collaborative learning, role playing, small group activities, individual practice, and microteaching are employed. Nine references are included. Appendices contain objectives and schedules for program presentations. (JDD)
