Faculty at a Uniformed Services Academy Discuss Sharing, Collaboration, and Improvisation

Keywords: Collaborative Teaching, Faculty Mentorship, Experiential Learning

Abstract: This three-member panel includes military and non-military faculty from a U.S. military academy who worked together to ensure faculty development, consistency in curriculum, and student engagement in experiential learning activities across six sections of Organizational Behavior and Leadership. Our discussion will highlight the benefits of knowledge sharing, peer-to-peer mentoring, and the inclusion of diverse perspectives as experienced by the panel, which includes an active-duty instructor, a former active-duty and current institute director, and a civilian lecturer. We hope to engage those interested in understanding collaborative faculty behaviors that may improve teaching, curriculum development, and faculty learning.
