This handbook for the 1976-77 Faculty Development Program at William Rainey Harper College (WRHC) is a continuation of the effort to assist the faculty in examining their own professional attitudes toward instruction and their relationships with their students. The major objectives of the 1976-77 program are to investigate the topic of "New Learners: New Clientele" specifically as it relates to the WRHC district. Among the programs and activities described are: (l) special funding for faculty development through research, experimentation, travel, sabbatical leaves, instructional development, and continued education; (2) a series of guest speaker presentations; and (3) the New Faculty Development Program and New Faculty Mentor Program. An overview and background material on New Learners: New Clientele comprises approximately one-half of this document. Discussed are: "new students", methods of instruction, characteristics of an open university, the implications of stages of adult development for higher education, problems in implementing open learning programs, and an overview of instructional strategies.
