All Faculty Focus Newsletter and Update issues are available from the Faculty Focus Archive.

I thank all who help with content curation and those who have shared items with me for distribution.

Announcements 

  • AAUP Faculty Evaluation Process 2024 (Paid Faculty)
    • From announcement: "As you may be aware, we are transitioning the faculty evaluation process from paper to electronic.  We have not changed the forms themselves, but have made them accessible through Banner, where you can complete your forms and forward to your supervisor/Chair, electronically.  This will help us better manage the process and allow us to store documents electronically for easy accessibility.  If you are an AAUP faculty member, or a Vice Chair of a department, you will complete this new electronic form.  The deadline to complete faculty evaluations for AAUP faculty is November 1, 2024.   The wording of the form will not change this year, just made electronic."

Active Learning Tip

  • Empty Outlines – The teacher provides students with an empty/partially completed outline and gives them limited time to fill in the blank spaces. Students can work alone or in groups, depending on what is being assessed. Students can work individually and then with a partner or group to fill in the blanks. Individual students can make note of what they still need to learn. 
    • Benefit(s): Engagement with content, Encourages active learning/thinking, Student-Student interaction
    • Mindset GPS Connection: Growth Mindset, Sense of Belonging
