Abstract:
New college faculty are expected to teach effectively with little or no formal training. A new professor who is initially interested in teaching can become discouraged if support to develop teaching skills is not provided. Orientation to college teaching can provide information on effective teaching and provide instructional support. This paper describes how one new faculty orientation program was designed, developed, and carried out. In part, the success of the program was based on participant involvement throughout the stages of the program. Their involvement helped insure that the program met their needs and expectations.
