Withincreasing calls for interdisciplinary research teams and task forces, the need for faculty todevelop their interdisciplinary networks and cross-discipline communication skills is at an all-time high.

faculty developmentABSTRACTWest Texas A&M University is a Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI). The university has historicallybeen focused on pedagogy for K-12 educators and growing a more educated workforce across manydisciplines, which is why we have been and still are a PUI with continued focus on undergraduate education.However, beginning in 2021, a group of 10-15 faculty who have grown know to each other in areas ofagricultural science, natural science, computer science, engineering, and social science have found itadvantageous to make common cause through a scarce natural resource that seems to come up often ineducation, rural life, business, and policy in our region--water. We have therefore been meeting as facultyresearchers who
they had in mind.A study of the lessons provided suggests the hypothesis that faculty are interested inimprovements and indeed know what improvements are needed, but they lack a systematicinnovation cycle approach, a way to evaluate the scope of their projects, and means for assessingthe outcomes and then modify their innovations appropriately.Based on this, the TAMU RED project is focused entirely on culture change via facultydevelopment and partnership, eschewing prescriptive notions of curricular change entirely. Theaim is to create a culture that is faculty driven, encourages a sustained process of incrementalimprovement and responsiveness to student learning through experimentation, measurement, andsharing.

impact on studentengagement, retention, and workforce development. The use of active learning techniques inSTEM fields has grown in popularity as a successful way to improve undergraduate students'educational experiences and academic performance. Active learning aims to increase studentparticipation, foster self-efficacy, and motivate students to pursue careers in STEM fields.Over the past few decades, active learning has grown in popularity as a set of teaching strategiesin higher education. In contrast to traditional passive learning through lectures, active learninginvolves students directly in the learning process [1]. Active learning is a teaching strategy thatinvolves involving students in the process of learning by using collaborations

A profession is a group that is “organized toearn a living by openly serving a certain moral ideal in a morally permissible way beyond whatlaw, market, and morality would otherwise require.”[1] Some of the elements of a profession arethat it

whatchange could be attributed to which program and why?The challenging scenario described makes necessary the design of comprehensive studies aimed atanalyzing the long-term effects of professional development programs. Although advanced in K-12 (e.g., [12], [26]), the study of the long-term effects of programs in STEM higher education isincipient. Beyond evaluations of wide programs involving faculty from multiple departments (e.g.,[27], [28]), Emery and colleagues’ longitudinal study design offers one of the few examples of anintegrative proposal for the analysis of the long-term outcomes of a professional developmentprogram in STEM but does not publish results yet [10].

in a variety of other CoPs through UNC’s Center for FacultyExcellence and through the KEEN Network.As higher education undergoes a transformation in how instruction is facilitated, it is moreimportant than ever to meet faculty where they are in terms of their pedagogy and experience.The implementations of these approaches in Year 3 led to a significant increase in the adoption ofEML and a boost in the effectiveness of the FLC, suggesting that these practices could have aneven greater impact in the future. Finally, it is essential to recognize that faculty are overworked,and the pressure to integrate effective strategies can be stressful and overwhelming.References[1] A. P. Samaras, M. Hjalmarson, L.

Its training activities addressed six research mentor competencies: (1) maintainingeffective communication; (2) aligning expectations; (3) assessing understanding; (4) addressingdiversity; (5) fostering independence; and (6) promoting professional development. The trainingfollowed the original design, which was a process-based approach. Through facilitateddiscussions of case studies and activities, the small group of mentors learned the six mentoringcompetencies, tried out different mentoring strategies, and solved mentoring challenges. Thetypical training format was four sessions of one to two hours of interactive discussion withfacilitation over two months. The curriculum was
