The workshop will begin with several plenary sessions focused on the evolution of faculty careers including the role of the institution in encouraging/rewarding faculty development post-tenure and the use of post-tenure reviews for both faculty development and assessment. Other plenary sessions on strategies for individual faculty development, such as the use of research collaborations and sabbaticals and using pedagogy as a vehicle for faculty development are interspersed with breakout sessions and meetings between the participating teams and facilitators. Institutional plans for the creation of a faculty development program that emphasizes the continuing growth of post-tenure faculty are the goal of the institute.
