POD: Faculty Development as a Necessary Aspect of Transformation

Type of workshop: 
Special Interest Group Gathering

Convener: Victoria Bhavsar, Program Coordinator, Faculty Center for Professional Development, Cal Poly Pomona

Apr 18, 2012 - 2:00pm - - 4:00pm

 

This SIG will address the opportunities POD offers for faculty development. As higher education changes, faculty are taking on new responsibilities and filling new roles. Yet many faculty have been trained primarily as experts in their disciplines - not as managers, leaders, or even as teachers. In a time of ever-more-limited resources, the academy must support its most important human resource, its faculty. The major US organization for faculty development, the POD (Professional & Organizational Development) Network supports lifelong, holistic, personal, and professional learning for the higher education community. Administrators, faculty, and other campus educators are invited to join this discussion of what POD offers and how your campus can benefit.
