Faculty proposed large-scalerenovations of a specific undergraduate course or closely-related group of courses, with the goalof improving student engagement, learning outcomes, and faculty teaching experiences.Alternatively, faculty could propose to develop teaching technologies that would facilitate theimplementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Priority in funding was given to projectsthat would impact large numbers of students or provide critical interventions early in students’learning careers.“Live deep, not fast,” is an admonition coined in the early 1900’s by literature professor, critic,and editor Henry Seidel Canby 1.

Formative Feedback CoachingIntroductionFaculty development, as it relates to teaching and learning, has been a persistent challenge inhigher education. College faculty generally begin their careers with no formal training in teach-ing and, consequently, ‘teach as I was taught’ is the starting point for most new faculty. Respon-sibility for faculty development of teaching, therefore, falls to an administrative unit of theuniversity. Many institutions have successful faculty orientation and mentoring programs, butthose programs often fall short of moving new teachers to effective practice in engagement peda-gogy using active learning strategies. Modifying the practices of experienced faculty is particu-larly difficult.This paper explores how faculty

By this, functional resources gain the benefit of a functional strength, which can be transferred to the program of the day.  Functional knowledge is available for all projects on an equal basis.Disadvantages of this type of organizational structure include:  Dual accountability of

, but the primary concern would be in setting up false expectations in newly hired faculty who do not understand the final objectives and outcomes of the P&T process. By providing new faculty members with OES-l opportunities that are "outside of the academic mainstream" compared to the traditional P&T process—without ALSO mentoring them so they know about and understand the need to address the core function of the P&T process (Teaching, Creative Activities, & Service) —then they may be moving along an inappropriate career trajectory, leading to disappointment, failure, and possible law suits as a result. ≠ Retention is much influenced by the OES-l as a part of P&T process
