Creating a Faculty Development Plan (FDP) for Yourself
Spring 2023
More Details
This workshop is designed for faculty members who are interested in working on their faculty development plans. A faculty development plan (FDP) is a short- or long-term plan for optimizing teaching, research, and/or service activities. It entails conducting a self-assessment, setting specific goals, determining how best to achieve those goals, and then evaluating the outcomes of your efforts. The workshop will benefit any faculty members (tenure-track or tenured, FTTs, adjuncts) who are interested in articulating, developing, and balancing their teaching, research, and/or service activities. The session will review the purpose and value of an FDP, its essential components, and how to create a working document. Participants will receive materials for developing their own FDP.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
