Folks: The posting below looks at the Tracer Project designed to assess how faculty development programs actually impact student learning. Regards, Rick Reis reis stanford.
As institutions look to join that conversation, or merely to provide evidence of teaching effectiveness on their own campuses, this research provides guidance in several ways: Begin by identifying as clearly as possible the goals for changes in instruction and by imagining clearly the role of faculty development in the change process. Note that this study does not address short-term or one-off events, since important changes do not happen that way.
Instead, ask the question of how the one-offs whether a WAC workshop or a session focused on learning the new classroom management system can become part of the process of promoting a larger or higher-level goal. Think systematically about how each event, no matter its scope, contributes to others and to long-term goals. Think in terms of initiatives rather than single events. Similarly, identify the goals for learning by focusing on higher-order competencies.
The more clearly an institution identifies these goals, and the more such goals are evident in every course of study, the more likely an initiative is to draw faculty commitment and to produce measurable change.
Promote excellent teaching. Understand the enterprise of cultivating excellent teaching as systematic, not merely as a function of course evaluation. Foster a process of faculty learning that engages outside input, that supports reflective study of teaching practices, research into effects of changes in practice, and follow-up of further learning, change, and evaluation.
Faculty who engage in the effort are pursuing good teaching. Some will become great teachers before others do, and some will always be better teachers than others, but all faculty will become better teachers than they were.
Search for ways in which teaching and learning goals affect institutional practices that could count as routine faculty development. Orient those processes so that they support, identify, endorse, and promote improvements in teaching and learning. Realize that in most institutions, many of those practices may hamper the development of better teachers.
Identify practices that are barriers and change them so that they encourage innovation in the classroom. Resource: Weimer, M.
