Book excerpt: Independent School Management developed this guide for schools in answering this question: How do we ensure that we have a great faculty that teaches with excellence and ultimately increases student performance, satisfaction, and enthusiasm? By supporting teachers, your school supports students and helps ensure your institution's long-term growth and success. So this book is not about teachers-it is really about students. We believe, by implementing the processes and procedures found here, your school ultimately increases student performance, satisfaction, and enthusiasm. ..... Anyone who works with faculty should keep this invaluable book close at hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ISM developed this guidebook to help schools attract, retain, develop, reward, and inspire faculty. We believe the best way to achieve these vital goals is to implement, manage, and sustain effective practices for faculty hiring, evaluation, development, compensation, and selective retention. For that reason, much of what you are about to read is process-focused. However, in working through each of the processes, it is important not to lose the forest for the trees. That is, while we strive at all points to support teachers to the fullest, this book is ultimately not about teachers—it is really about students. That is because we believe, by doing all of the things that we suggest, the school will ultimately be increasing student performance, satisfaction, and enthusiasm. Thus, it becomes a win-win situation for all involved: by supporting teachers, the school is supporting students, and doing the most that important thing it can do to ensure its long-term growth and success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on thirty-six years of research and experience building and operating large-scale faculty evaluation systems and consulting to thousands of college and university personnel, the author has established an eight-step process for building a comprehensive evaluation system. These steps include: Determining the faculty role model; Determining the faculty role model parameter values; Determining roles in the faculty role model; Determining role component weights; Determining appropriate sources of information; Determining the source impact weights; Determining how information should be gathered; and Completing the system by selecting or designing forms, protocols, and rating scales. In this third edition, each step, including the definitions of the various roles to be evaluated, has been expanded and enhanced based on the experiences of many institutions that have followed the procedure outlined in the book. The third edition also features a new introduction; fresh research in the field; updated forms and procedures; a new, detailed case study of an institution that developed a Web-enabled, computer-supported system based on the eight-step process; and a new body of work that defines the professoriate as a meta-profession with a rubric for defining more than twenty faculty skill sets. Readers will learn how to generate and use an overall composite rating in promotion, tenure, merit pay, and post-tenure review decisions; they will also discover the issues in designing or finding, using and cataloging student rating forms. Sample forms, worksheets, models, and sample faculty evaluation manuals round out this practical, user-friendly handbook for anyone developing a faculty evaluation system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of A Guide to Faculty Development was published in 2002, the dynamic field of educational and faculty development has undergone many changes. Prepared under the auspices of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education (POD), this thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded edition offers a fundamental resource for faculty developers, as well as for faculty and administrators interested in promoting and sustaining faculty development within their institutions. This essential book offers an introduction to the topic, includes twenty-three chapters by leading experts in the field, and provides the most relevant information on a range of faculty development topics including establishing and sustaining a faculty development program; the key issues of assessment, diversity, and technology; and faculty development across institutional types, career stages, and organizations. "This volume contains the gallant story of the emergence of a movement to sustain the vitality of college and university faculty in difficult times. This practical guide draws on the best minds shaping the field, the most productive experience, and elicits the imagination required to reenvision a dynamic future for learning societies in a global context." —R. Eugene Rice, senior scholar, Association of American Colleges and Universities "Across the country, people in higher education are thinking about how to prepare our graduates for a rapidly changing world while supporting our faculty colleagues who grew up in a very different world. Faculty members, academic administrators, and policymakers alike will learn a great deal from this volume about how to put together a successful faculty development program and create a supportive environment for learning in challenging times." —Judith A. Ramaley, president, Winona State University "This is the book on faculty development in higher education. Everyone involved in faculty development—including provosts, deans, department chairs, faculty, and teaching center staff—will learn from the extensive research and the practical wisdom in the Guide." —Peter Felten, president, The POD Network (2010–2011), and director, Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning, Elon University

This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses all facets of faculty development, including academic and career development, teaching improvement, research capacity building, and leadership development. In addition, it describes a multitude of ways, ranging from workshops to the workplace, in which health professionals can develop their knowledge and skills. By providing an informed and scholarly overview of faculty development, and by describing original content that has not been previously published, this book helps to ensure that research and evidence inform practice, moves the scholarly agenda forward, and promotes dialogue and debate in this evolving field. It will prove an invaluable resource for faculty development program planning, implementation and evaluation, and will help to sustain faculty members’ vitality and commitment to excellence. Kelley M. Skeff, M.D., Ph.D., May 2013: In this text, Steinert and her colleagues have provided a significant contribution to the future of faculty development. In an academic and comprehensive way, the authors have both documented past efforts in faculty development as well as provided guidance and stimuli for the future. The scholarly and well-referenced chapters provide a compendium of methods previously used while emphasizing the expanding areas deserving work. Moreover, the writers consistently elucidate the faculty development process by highlighting the theoretical underpinnings of faculty development and the research conducted. Thus, the book provides an important resource for two major groups, current providers and researchers in faculty development as well as those desiring to enter the field. Both groups of readers can benefit from a reading of the entire book or by delving into their major area of interest and passion. In so doing, they will better understand our successes and our limitations in this emerging field. Faculty development in the health professions has now received attention for 6 decades. Yet, dedicated faculty members trying to address the challenges in medical education and the health care delivery system do not have all the assistance they need to achieve their goals. This book provides a valuable resource towards that end.
