Pacific Crest facilitated a faculty development workshop held at the University of Idaho in Moscow. This workshop was funded by two NSF projects: the TIDEE project at WSU and the ELE project at UI. Additional funding came from the Colleges of Engineering at WSU and UI. The workshop was organized by Steven Beyerlein and facilitated by Dan Apple, President of Pacific Crest.
Workshop Themes:
- Develop awareness, valuing and skills with teaching practices such as writing learning outcomes, facilitating self-directed learning, assessment, course design, and activity design.
- Create awareness of an approach to faculty development that is centered on scholarship.
- Create teams that continue working after the workshop is ended. In particular these teams will grow faculty performance, enhance classroom practices and apply practices of scholarship. Each team has been challenged to produce 1 paper and 1 proposal during the coming year.
