Abstract

This overview of resources for faculty development initiatives in Englishstudies proposes a specific framework and sequence for faculty development work and identifies and annotates key resources. It proposes that the sequence for should take place within the theoretical framework of the learning paradigm, introduces faculty to the science of learning and teaching for significant learning, engages faculty in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and focuses on ways to create and maintain communities of practice and knowledge. Work on this overview initiated the development of an interactive Web-based clearinghouse devoted to the ongoing gathering and sharing of faculty development resources.
