| Abstract: |
A shadowing program for assisting new faculty members in becoming successful educators at their new institution is described. This program aims to foster a dialogue between new faculty and seasoned colleagues, providing opportunities for sharing lessons learned through experience. At the beginning, a new faculty member observes lectures delivered by a colleague teaching another section of their course, providing practical examples of how the institution's expectations translate into practice, as well as pedagogical ideas for effective instruction. Reciprocal observation by the seasoned faculty member provides early feedback to the new faculty member that is valuable in getting off to a good start. Details of the structure of the shadowing program are presented. Five case studies are offered by faculty who went through the program. They share their experiences in how the program was effective for them and in how it could be improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
