Faculty Development at Oregon Institute of Technology.
Ward, John G.
This paper describes Oregon Institute of Technology's Staff Career Support (SCS) program, which provides continuous assistance to teaching, administrative, and counseling faculty willing to share responsibility for their own development. This comprehensive program provides opportunities to improve ability to teach, to increase state-of-the-art technical knowledge, and to develop more effective administrative skills. Representative of specific professional staff development components of the SCS program are: workshops, mini-courses, and seminars in teaching, instructional innovation, and media usage; funded course development opportunities; self-study classroom video-taping services; media grants; extension teaching; use of State equipment and facilities; expert-in-residence programs; outside consulting opportunities with business and industry; travel opportunities; reduced tuition within the Oregon State System; and various types of leave, with and without pay. The SCS program is annually reviewed by faculty and administrative personnel and, as necessary, appropriate modifications are suggested. Importantly, faculty professional development is separated from the evaluation process; that is, faculty are evaluated following, not during, development. (Author/JDS)
