Academic/ Professional Development - Research
Abstract
The University of North Georgia’s Center for Teaching, Learning, and Leadership implemented two faculty academies to support faculty now facing increased scholarly productivity demands that resulted from institutional change. We asked the question: What is the effect of academies designed to support the scholarly productivity on faculty perceptions and ability to meet shifting institutional expectation? In our presentation, we report how these academies fostered interdisciplinary, cross-rank, and cross-campus scholarship among faculty participants. Data culled from focus interviews with participating faculty illustrate that these initiatives helped faculty re-envision their roles as a teacher-scholars amid institutional change.
