There’s no better way to prepare your new faculty for effective classroom teaching! Elsevier’s Faculty Development: An Interactive Solution provides a comprehensive, one-stop solution to meet your school’s needs for professional educator training. This turnkey solution is easy to implement and customize, with a handbook and online course allowing new faculty members to progress through the material at their own pace, engaging throughout with interactive exercises, case scenarios, critical thinking questions for application, module assessments, and a final exam. With access to a sample implementation guide with onboarding schedule, facilitators can structure the program to fit the needs of the new faculty members and the institution. Elsevier’s Faculty Development contains everything you need to turn subject matter experts into master teachers committed to student success.

    • Multi-faceted learning solution combines a handbook for didactic instruction and reference along with an interactive online course.
    • Text and online content provide everything a new career education instructor needs, with an in-depth look at learning theories, course planning and classroom management, teaching methods for a variety of settings, assessments, ways to decrease the educational gap, and self-assessment and development.
    • Activities and assessments help new faculty members implement the concepts they’ve learned and to document their participation and experience with interactive exercises, critical thinking questions, case studies with examples from a variety of program/student populations, self-guided online checkpoints within the course, module assessments, and a final exam.
    • Certificate is issued upon the successful completion of each module, post-module assessment, and final exam; this certificate can be added to your employee record or portfolio.
    • Bonus course module focuses on the unique needs of remote learning and instruction to provide additional guidance for instructors who have been moved from on-ground to online teaching.

Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • Content provides explanations for unusual words, abbreviations, acronyms, idioms, jargon in an accessible form, such as glossaries, scripted pop-ups.
      • Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.
