The Role of the Faculty Developer: Reducing Instructional Uncertainty
Michael G. Strawser; Melissa Looney
Journal of Faculty Development, v35 n3 p63-66 2021
Faculty developers face a crucial task. They must simultaneously navigate the pressures of an administrative role while caring for faculty. The role has become more difficult because of the quick online pivot necessitated by the global pandemic. Throughout that instructional transition, faculty revealed anxiety and burnout related to their teaching. These thoughts, and others as well, culminate in the cultivation of an instructional uncertainty. The faculty developer can intentionally help faculty overcome instructional uncertainty and move forward by addressing the root (cause issue) of instructional uncertainty, revisit technology basics for classroom instruction, encourage faculty to think about their virtual teaching identity, provide a space for hands-on mistakes, and offer gentle reminders that teaching is inherently uncertain.
