The Creation and Implementation of a Formal Faculty Orientation and Training Program in Higher Education
Mujtaba, Bahaudin G.; Gibson, Jane
Journal of College Teaching & Learning, v4 n6 p17-24 Jun 2007
This document provides an overview of a faculty training and orientation program used for adjunct faculty at the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship at Nova Southeastern University. The model includes components for assessing, hiring, orienting, and providing initial training for a diverse cadre of part time faculty in many distant locations. The authors make suggestions as to how this model can be used to provide long-term success in orientation and training, including an argument for appropriate rewards for both new hires and the full time faculty involved in their training. (Contains 1 figure.)
