Path to Full Workshops
In Fall, Vice-President Kistner began a series of workshops aimed at de-mystifying and making intentional the path to full professor at FSU. Those workshops continue this spring with the following topics.
Session #3: The Power of Self-Reflection
Monday, February 24, 3:30 – 5:00
The path to tenure is a well-defined and highly monitored process in academia. To be successful and attain tenure and promotion, a faculty member must have already established and consistently practice successful work strategies. True? Maybe what you are discovering post-tenure is that you cannot continue to work in the way you have pre-tenure. Session 3 will include time for self-reflection, possibility mapping, and role model identification. Faculty will leave with a personally charted post-tenure path.
Session #4: Increasing the Value of Your Teaching
Friday, March 20, 1:30 – 3:30
Has your post-tenure reflection led you to the conclusion that teaching and student learning are your passions? Are you considering becoming a master teacher, a workshop facilitator training other teachers, a researcher in the scholarship of teaching and learning, a leader in a national organization dedicated to teaching excellence, a graduate student mentor of teaching, a blogger about teaching? How can increased excellence in teaching be valued in promotion review at an R-1 university? How can your research expertise and discipline-specific knowledge be used to enhance your teaching? These are some of the questions we will address in Session 4 of the Path to Full seminars.
