Who is Training the Trainers: Supporting our Adjunct Colleagues
The number of adjunct instructors across the Academy has grown dramatically in the last several years, actually outnumbering the tenure and tenure-track faculty, in some institutions. These part-time faculty typically have little training, and they typically are largely on their own to teach their classes. However, as student outcomes are being put under the microscope, what are we doing to support this part of our faculty in promoting positive student outcomes? This session will explore ways to facilitate adjunct success.
