A Guide to Faculty Development (PDF)

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
