| Abstract: |
Research has consistently demonstrated that investment in faculty development programs increases student learning and instructor engagement (Bigatel & Williams, 2015; Cydis et al., 2015; Wilder, 2020). In general education classes, engaged faculty are of the utmost importance, given that students are often resistant to taking these courses for a number of reasons. Thus, we propose a three-tiered system to engage faculty teaching general education courses. This three-tiered approach focuses on not only the development of faculty as teachers but also supports their growth as professionals and leaders. This approach includes strategies for training, mentoring, and sponsoring general education faculty in their professional development and engagement. |
