The ATL Faculty Leaders program is designed to give faculty members the opportunity to serve in a leadership role, working collaboratively with ATL staff, to both advance their professional development and support the advancement of faculty and graduate student instructors across the university. Faculty Leaders serve for 2 years, devoting a portion of their time to working with faculty, graduate student instructors, and ATL staff developing professional development resources and delivering workshops within the context of a project scope that aligns with their area of expertise.
Outcomes for Faculty Leaders:
- Building Institutional Capacity: Faculty Leaders will build a network of faculty members across colleges and departments to strengthen relationships between ATL and faculty and promote best practices in teaching, learning and assessment.
- Driving Pedagogical Innovation: Faculty leaders will design and implement professional development experiences that educate faculty on best practices and innovations in the areas of teaching, learning and assessment.
- Faculty Leaders will foster a culture of continuous improvement among colleagues in the faculty.
- Faculty leaders will develop projects/workshops that are beneficial to their own professional growth as well as faculty across the URI campus.
