Developing Competency Models of Faculty Developers

Abstract

Recent research by Chism (2007); Sorcinel/i, Austin, Eddy, and Beach (2006); and Taylor (2005) speaks to the critical roles that faculty developers play in ensuring institutional success. Yet we have not as a profession identified the specific competencies necessary for success at different career stages. Our research generated these competencies for three faculty developer positions-sentry level , senior-level, and director-within a teaching and learning center. We used World Cafe, a collaborative discussion-based technique, to engage developers in building a matrix of competencies for each position and in determining how these competencies could be demonstrated.

Ne hanno tratto una matrice interessante che compendia tratti e caratteristiche, skills, abilità di leadership, conoscenze e competenze da prevedere come traguardi di uscita di ipotetici percorsi formativi di secondo livello (vedi Tabella 2).…”

Using PAR to Promote Social Justice for Older People and People with Intellectual Disabilities

“…World café has helped foster positive social change within a wide variety of community contexts and disciplines. Examples include social work (Fouché & Light, 2011), healthcare (Broom et al, 2013), consumer studies (Ritch & Brennan, 2010), and education (Dawson et al, 2010).…”

Managing for agility in constant change: HR strategies for teaching center leaders

“…CTL leaders need to focus not just outwardly on institutional-level work but also inwardly on their own burgeoning units. One key aspect of this inward focus is human resources (Dawson et al, 2010).…”
