Strategic Initiatives: Faculty Teaching

• Re-envision CTL and IDEAS goals, structure, and leadership, and their inter-relationship and connections to relevant campus resources to create an effective, efficient, and coordinated center to support faculty teaching.
• Provide faculty with robust pedagogical and instructional professional development across instructional platforms (in person, online, and other modalities)
• Create a Faculty Teaching Academy for onboarding new faculty and deepening the pedagogical and instructional expertise among faculty across ranks and tracks.
• Launch a new Provost Fellows for Excellence and Leadership in Teaching (P-FELT) program focused on innovation and continuous improvement in teaching.

• Support instructional excellence through faculty recognition for curricular and instructional innovation.

   

• Establish a Senior Lecturer III rank for nontenure track faculty.
• Engage P-FELT Fellows to perform a holistic assessment and evaluation of faculty teaching.
• Adopt and implement a multi-dimensional, campus-wide, portfolio-based assessment of teaching (student evaluation, peer observation, document analysis, etc.) for both tenure and nontenure track faculty members.
• Develop a new student course evaluation system with increased response rates, new survey instrument suite, and norming of ratings to ensure valid, reliable assessment and generative feedback.
