Two Related Projects: A Review Article and a Grant Proposal
The IBP Faculty development minigrant supports two general projects:
1. The collaborative writing of a paper for publication concerning the state of affairs in faculty development in biology higher ed, exploring models that work and constructing ideas for how these models may best be applied to biology higher ed faculty.
2. Using the review article information in support of a faculty instructional development grant proposal.
Our goal will be to explore how change ideas and models can be widely put into practice for biology faculty, and to apply these ideas to models of successful biology/science higher ed faculty development. Much research has been done on “change” yet the ideas--from K12, from other higher ed STEM disciplines, from the psychology of change, and from the organizational and institutional change literature--have not been widely applied to biology higher ed faculty development. The goal is to synthesize and outline what a successful model might be in practice. Our combined perspectives, experience, and expertise can help us all learn together, in ways that will be beneficial to each of our individual goals.
