DESCRIPTION:
“Adjunct faculty are and will continue to be a vital component of the academic community. We need to better understand how to recruit, retain, and support them in their important role,” says Desna Wallin, editor of Adjunct Faculty in Community Colleges: An Academic Administrator's Guide to Recruiting, Supporting, and Retaining Great Teachers.
A critical issue for many institutions of higher education is finding talented and dedicated part-time faculty and then providing them with appropriate support and pedagogical assistance. Academic administrators are responsible for the hiring and direct supervision of adjunct faculty, but a number of factors may keep them from sufficiently providing for the needs of this critical group.
During this webinar the speakers will give practical information, useful advice, and other resources and strategies that you can immediately apply at your institution.
What topics will be addressed?
· Recruitment/hiring processes
· Enculturation of adjunct faculty
· Professional development
· Valuing and motivating adjunct faculty
· Full-time/part-time faculty relationships
· Online adjunct training
