NEW FACULTY COHORT Each year, a cohort of new full-time faculty meet six times as a group with Sandy Frey to discuss topics related to teaching and student learning. The goal is that participation in these meetings will result in a more rewarding classroom experience for faculty members and increased success for students. Comments from previous participants:
"I really liked how in the last couple of meetings we had an opportunity to share suggestions and frustrations. I think it brought us together as a group and allows us to process the information more readily." "I enjoy obtaining ideas through group discussions from other faculty members." “I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 sessions with Sandy this year. She did a fantastic job and it has definitely helped my teaching with my students and players.” “I really value the information you offer and I appreciate it.” “It is great to meet together as a group and discuss a variety of techniques for effective teaching. It also serves as a support system for new faculty. Sandy is very open and knowledgeable [relative to] different learning styles of students and ways that instructors can meet student demands/needs.” “I wish I would have had this my 1st year teaching at the 4-year level.” “All was good, especially interaction with colleagues.” “This was very helpful to me.” “The six classes were very informative and beneficial…”
Adjunct Orientation: This annual event is intended for both new and returning adjunct instructors. The focus of the 2010 Adjunct Orientation was Creating a Positive Learning Environment.
