Strategy 15: Faculty Teams

All faculties will be encouraged to create a faculty team in partnership with others to support teaching, learning, and student success and retention.

Other Information:

One model that has been very successful in recent times in providing supports to students, as well as to the faculty who teach and advise them, is the faculty team approach. A team may, for example, consist of a Faculty Associate from the Learning and Teaching Office, a Librarian, a Counselor, a Learning Strategist, a Student Life Facilitator, and a Learning Technology Liaison. Each of these team members is part of a central university group where they work with colleagues in the same areas to develop strategies that promote effective teaching and learning. Each member then brings this expertise to the team at the faculty level, working to institute and support initiatives particular to the faculty and students in that faculty’s programs. There is the possibility that other types of supports, including, for example, enhanced student advising, could be incorporated in this model.
