Policy for Faculty Development FundsFunds to support faculty development will be made available through the Office
of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. These funds are for
the purpose of improving the quality of instruction at Old Dominion University.
The awards are available to all full-time faculty who are not on a terminal
contract. After evaluation and signature by the department chair and dean, the Office
of the Dean should submit a copy of the faculty member's proposal to
the Faculty Senate's Faculty Status Committee. The committee's
recommendations for awards will be based on overall evaluations of competing
proposals. The committee will forward its recommendations, along with the evaluation
of the chair and dean, to the vice provost for final review, evaluation, and
determination. The following list provides some suggestions for funding, but it should not
be considered exhaustive. Reimbursement of expenses for workshops on teaching effectiveness. Reimbursement of expenses for workshops which will make the faculty member
proficient in some area and which subsequently may lead to course development. Summer stipends, which will not exceed those awarded for summer research
grants, to support faculty self-study, development of instructional materials
such as videos, course paks and workbooks, development of innovative educational
approaches, or significant program curriculum revision. Reimbursement of expenses for guest speakers and/or consultants as related
to classroom instruction.
Faculty development funds cannot be used to support faculty attendance or
presentations at conferences.
Participation in Learned SocietiesThe university recognizes the necessity of attendance at professional meetings
and its effect upon the enhancement of good teaching and related activities.
Every effort is made to have funds available to faculty members for this purpose. |
