Tailored Workshop Series (Face-to-Face, Online, Hybrid)
for Faculty Members, Academic Support Professionals, & Their Colleagues

Low-Threshold, Incremental, Pragmatic, Flexible, Collaborative, ... Reasonable!

This sequence of activities represents one model for faculty and professional development which we have tailored and used with a number of institutions.

I.  Form cohort of faculty members who have each demonstrated: 

• Receptivity to improving teaching and learning with technology; and
• Inclination to help colleagues.  See "Compassionate Pioneers."

II.  Each participant uses the "Course Improvement Planning/Description Template" and related Exploration Guides while working with at least one colleague (faculty member, librarian, tech support, instructional designer, ...) in each phase of this cycle:

• Select and plan at least one improvement in at least one course (Use TLTG Exploration Guides)
• Make at least one improvement in at least one course
• Assess and further improve at least one aspect of that change (Use Flashlight Online training, resources, tool)  [and prepare for problems]
• Help at least one faculty colleague make a similar improvement (Learn by teaching - deepen understanding)
• Identify and obtain additional resources if necessary (See TLTG  Exploration Guide "Institutionalizing Support")
  [Repeat cycle as needed]
