"The First-Year Seminar: Designing, Implementing, and Assessing Courses to Support Student Learning and Success," a five-volume series, is designed to assist educators who are interested in launching a firstyear seminar or revamping an existing program. Each volume examines a different aspect of first-year seminar design or administration and offers suggestions for practice grounded in research on the seminar, the literature on teaching and learning, and campus-based examples. Because national survey research suggests that the seminar exists in a variety of forms on college campuses--and that some campuses combine one or more of these forms to create a hybrid seminar--the series offers a framework for decision making rather than a blueprint for course design. Guided by an understanding of adult development, the authors in volume two suggest strategies for designing and presenting a comprehensive faculty development program in support of the first-year seminar. Chapters focus on the organization of one-shot and ongoing development efforts, content for training programs, evaluation as a development activity, and strategies for recruiting and maintaining a dedicated instructor team. While focused on the first-year seminar, the volume offers useful insight for anyone charged with designing faculty development initiatives for first-year instructors. Following a list of figures, notes on the series, and an overview the following chapters are included: (1) The Need for Instructor Training and Development; (2) Organizing for Success; (3) Applying Theory and Research About Learning to Instructor Training and First-Year Seminars; (4) The Content of First-Year Seminar Training; (5) The Role of Evaluation in Instructor Training and Development; (6) Building and Sustaining an Instructor Corps for the Seminar; and (7) Recommendations and Concluding Thoughts.
