students of low socio-economic status. It isnotable that the necessity for student readiness as well as faculty training or mentoring programsfor online teaching to facilitate teaching methods, learner support, and course delivery cannot beoveremphasized. As this pandemic continues, there is a need to identify development areas toenhance faculty competencies in the online environment.Prior to COVID-19, the landscape of higher education was changing rapidly, especially in termsof delivery format. Now, the growth in online education participation has astoundingly increased.All colleges and universities in the United States have now fully transitioned to online education,not driven by the primary purpose of transforming education, continuing

reviews ofteaching options that are required for promotion and tenure: 1.) Observation of classroomteaching; 2.) Review of syllabus and other course materials.We coordinated with the Michael V. Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning, which employsstaff trained in evidence-based faculty development, trainings on conducting evidence-basedobservations of classroom teaching, as well as using the forms we created to structure effectiveand useful conversations prior to and after the observation of teaching session occurred. We alsoconducted a second session on using the evidence from the observation of teaching report towrite effective letters of evaluation of teaching. Recently, we offered trainings on how toevaluate and review online courses, and
extensive background in science education includes experiences as both a middle school and high school science teacher, teaching science at elementary through graduate level, developing formative as- sessment instruments, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in science and science education, working with high-risk youth in alternative education centers, working in science museums, designing and facilitating online courses, multimedia curriculum development, and leading and researching profes- sional learning for educators. The Association for the Education of Teachers of Science (AETS) honored Dr. Spiegel for his efforts in teacher education with the Innovation in Teaching Science Teachers award (1997). Dr
, thestudents reported more negative experiences with their classes after the move to remote learningas compared to positive experiences with 32 of the 39 students reporting at least one negativeexperience. The students had many comments related to course content including project work inthe Spring 2020 semester (28 students), online tests and exams (27 students), lab issues (23students) and PowerPoint use and issues (13 students). Also, approximately one-third of thestudents responded that their instructors did not respond to emails from students. Most studentsshowed appreciation for the efforts that faculty made in the quick transition to remote learning.However, the students expressed concerns about the organization of the classes (13 students
and one trained volunteer. By having two observers, multiple perspectives are capturedand the post-observation discussion is more robust. During the pre-observation meeting, the newinstructor goes over the course syllabus, lesson plan for the day they are to be observed, andpresents an overview of student feedback collected so far. They also inform the observers whataspects of their teaching they most want feedback on to help guide the actual observation. Onceobserved, the two observers share notes and write up a one-page summary of their observation.The instructor completes a self-reflection sheet before the post-observation meeting is conducted.At the debriefing, the conversation always begins with the instructor’s self-reflection

major parts. Part 1was demographic information (4 questions). Part 2 was the main survey consisting of 33questions. Topics surveyed in the main survey included: efficacy and structure of department-level developmental programs, responsibilities for faculty development, developmental areas,developmental best practices, frequency of mentorship, time allocated to mentorship, juniorfaculty developmental goals, Academy-level knowledge repositories, mentorship in the fivefaculty domains, classroom observation, scholarship, course directorship, and academicpromotion. Parts 3 and 4 were two separate “follow-on” surveys that asked questions regardingfaculty recruitment, new faculty integration and training, and more specific questions concerningtopics
