Magna Online Seminar on CD: How to Evaluate the Impact of Faculty Development Programs


Seminar CD only $259
Seminar CD w/ Campus Access License $459

Faculty development programs are an important way of building the skills and capabilities of the professors on your campus.

When these programs are high quality, they deliver valuable training and can greatly enhance teaching and learning at your college or university.

When they are ineffective, however, they can be a big waste of time and money.

Few administrators or faculty developers understand how to accurately measure the effectiveness of faculty programming. That is because there is very little available guidance on optimal evaluation procedures. In fact, correcting this deficit was noted as a key priority at the recent 35th Annual Professional Organizational Development Network Conference.

In How to Evaluate the Impact of Faculty Development Programs, Dr. Sue Hines will fill this gap by showing you how to create a feasible plan for measuring the success of your faculty development efforts. She will also share best practices that can be used to judge your existing programs and help you plan for needed improvements.

In this 75-minute seminar, you will learn strategies for:

Customizing a framework for program evaluation
Measuring the impact of faculty development
Implementing effective evaluation practices
Examining expected outcomes
Designing useful evaluation measures based on best practices
Dealing with the challenges of measuring program effectiveness
Determining the application of program evaluation, assessment and review
Identifying situational factors impacting your evaluation plans
Developing a plan to assess satisfaction and goal-achievement
This seminar includes participant polling questions, demonstration of an evaluation framework, and a relevant case study.
