Campus
Conversations
Beginning in Fall 1998, the Faculty Professional Development
Center began its mission to build a community of scholars. The
Center and the University Teaching Council initiated an integrative phase to develop
a framework for Campus Conversations; to bring together many
groups involved in the study of teaching to reflect on our individual
and collective efforts.
Breakfast
or Lunch with the Provost
Breakfast or lunch with the Provost is an opportunity for
conversation to take place among faculty members and the Provost
whose focus is on teaching and learning. This event
enables faculty to share stories about teaching with colleagues
among the different campuses. Would you like to bring
together colleagues from your campus for a breakfast or lunch
conversation?
Campus Conversations: Making
Connections in Teaching and Learning
In the fall of 2004 the Educational Psychology Learning
Community, Ohio Learning Network, fpdc, Office of the Provost,
and the University Teaching Council sponsored three workshops.
Under the title of Campus Conversations: Making Connections
in Teaching and Learning, the topics of the workshops were
memory, cognition, and the biology of the brain. These
interesting and enlightening workshops afforded graduate
students and faculty the opportunity to earn graduate credit or
a professional development certificate through the Educational
Foundations and Special Services department of the College and
Graduate School of Education.
University Teaching Council Conference on Teaching
Each year the
University
Teaching Council holds a conference on teaching during the
month of October. This two day event begins with an evening
reception of Campus Conversations, a round-table discussion on
teaching, and is followed the next day by presentations from
internationally recognized speakers, small discussion sessions,
poster displays and demonstrations. The event culminates with
a reception to honor recipients of the Distinguished Teaching
Awards and Outstanding Teaching Awards for Non-tenure Track
Faculty. All events are free and open to all conference participants.
Faculty
Senate Forums
The Faculty Senate Forums provide faculty the opportunity to
focus and discuss issues of common concern among all KSU faculty
as an eight-campus community. The forums aim to link
faculty senators with various constituencies, provide more
visibility to the roles as a senator, link the senate in a
public way to academic programs and provide feedback and
communication on key issues.
Moulton Scholars Program
The Moulton Scholars program is designed to enable faculty
members to work on scholarly projects that can be enhanced through
the use of technology. The program offers faculty members
office space, equipment, and access to pedagogical expertise
and technological resources including consultation that will
help them to achieve their goals. While individual scholars
may focus their work on specific courses or projects, the program
is also designed to offer support for department or unit work
that will contribute to continuing development over time and
benefit increasing numbers of students.
