Item Supporting Teaching Excellence and Scholarship(Office of Academic Affairs, IUPUI, 2017) Burns, Debra S.; Alfrey, Karen; Feldhaus, Charles; Fernandez, Eugenia; Salama, PaulOne main focus of the School of Engineering and Technology’s current strategic plan is to “excel in the delivery of instruction, the scholarship of teaching and learning . . . to support extraordinary student success.” And while the School of Engineering and Technology has a long history of teaching excellence most mentorship activities focus on supporting faculty seeking excellence in research/discovery. According to the 2015 campus faculty professional development satisfaction survey over a third (34.5%) of tenured and tenure-track E & T faculty, a quarter (25%) of full-time non-tenure track faculty, and two-thirds (67%) of part-time and adjunct faculty rated their satisfaction with professional development opportunities related to teaching as either only “somewhat satisfied” or “not satisfied”. Furthermore, approximately 40% of E & T non-tenure track and tenure track faculty are not satisfied or only somewhat satisfied with available mentoring opportunities. Thus, it is apparent there is a need to develop an intentional, sustainable program focused on developing faculty capacity for scholarship in teaching while providing mentoring and leadership opportunities for mid-career faculty. This proposal describes the structure and programming to provide a robust climate for the testing, integration, and dissemination of pedagogical practices in engineering and technology. The proposed programming leverages available campus resources and expertise, as well as a strengthening of current programming. Six Engineering and Technology faculty have agreed to be paired with faculty interested in focusing their scholarship in teaching and learning. Individual mentoring sessions, tailored to the mentees’ needs, will occur throughout the academic year. Monthly workshops (currently called “Lunch & Learn”) will cover discipline-specific topics related to pedagogy and learning. The program will be assessed on three different levels: participant satisfaction, assessment of teaching scholarship, and adoption of best practices. Our goal is to create a culture within the School that explicitly values innovative student-centered teaching and related dissemination.Item Enhancing Scientific Careers: Research Mentor Training(Office of Academic Affairs, IUPUI, 2017-08-14) Arrizabalaga, Gustavo; Hobson, TaraItem The Indiana University School of Nursing Clinical Faculty Mentoring Initiative(Office of Academic Affairs, IUPUI, 2015-02-01) Cullen, Deborah L.; McLennon, Susan M.; Shieh, CarolItem Creating a Culture of Faculty Advancement(Office of Academic Affairs, IUPUI, 2016-05-17) Cecil, Amanda; Angermeier, Lisa K.Item PACES: Promoting Advancement through a Culture of Encouragement and Support(Office of Academic Affairs, IUPUI, 2015-02-15) Goff, Phil; Rebein, Robert; Sheeler, Kristina Horn; Ene, Estela; Upton, Thomas A.
