Professional Development, 2021

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) at Kennesaw State University (KSU) supports the success of faculty and graduate teaching assistants through institution-wide initiatives focused on career success as well as on instructional development; these opportunities include workshops, one-to-one consultations, and more intensive multi-day programs. In this case study, we begin by discussing the environmental context at the state and institutional levels, as policies at both levels have implications for how professional development is positioned to support the success of NTTF at KSU. We then describe CETL initiatives that have specifically targeted adjunct faculty and outline professional development initiatives employed in two colleges- the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (RCHSS).
