SEMINAR GOALS
The Faculty Teaching Seminar is designed to do three things: (1) help faculty participants enhance their teaching skills, (2) assist faculty participants with the process of implementing changes in their classrooms, and (3) create a network of colleagues can serve as a teaching resource for each other.
SEMINAR TIMES, PLACE, AND FEEDBACK
We meet from 12:00-2:50 p.m. on Fridays in BU 482. Lunch will be served from 12:00-12:20 and the session activity will run from 12:20-2:50 with break about midway. After each session, I send you an e-mail asking you to reply with your evaluation of the session.
TEACHING DEVELOPMENT SUPPLEMENT
All participants will receive a $500 teaching development supplement to their RATS (expense) account as part of the seminar. The purpose of the grant is to provide support for teaching development expenses, such as travel and registration fees for teaching development conferences / programs, purchase of teaching books, software, etc.
DELIVERABLE RESULT FOR YOUR CLASSROOM
Some time during Fall Semester, each participant is asked to e-mail to the entire group a deliverable result coming out of your FTS experience that you intend to try (or just recently tried) in your classroom. This e-mail can be one paragraph or longer. You can reach the entire group by clicking on Reply and then Reply To All for any e-mail message that I have sent to the group. We will take some time to discuss each others ideas and provide constructive comments and feedback.
THREE "D"s: DISCUSSION, DEMONSTRATION, DO
The philosophy of FTS has evolved over the years. Initially, the focus was on discussing teaching ideas with a speaker or a panel. Gradually, it shifted to demonstrating teaching techniques as well as discussing them. Demonstrations provide a vivid illustration of how the techniques work and help close the "implementation gap" by building instructor confidence ("I can do that!") and emotional security. I emphasized this approach heavily last year and it worked very well. We did demonstration / discussions for the majority of sessions. I would like to take FTS to the next level. I plan to add a Micro-teaching session this year, which provides a safe environment for you to experiment with an alternative teaching technique. You will teach an innovative 15 minute class, using your fellow FTS participants as the students. They will provide written comments as feedback. Also, it will be videotaped and you will be given the videotape of your session for you to review at your own convenience. The goal is move further towards implementation by getting you to try something new, by giving you a first-hand feel for how this innovation works, and build your confidence that you really can "pull it off."

OTHER IDEAS OR KEY PEOPLE
Classroom Videotaping and Feedback Session All participants would videotape one of their class sessions (see attached brochure about classroom videotaping). Participants would then sign up for one of several feedback sessions. At the feedback session, each participant would show a short segment of their videotape. Then the session participants and the coordinate will provide helpful feedback.
