IT is that is where he did it. Emperor's to date has conducted such training in house using methods such as multi-access modes, student-centered learning processes, and breakaway groups. Most faculty meetings contain conversations on assessment methods -- we really push for alternatives to the multiple choice format. As I expressed before, this is an arena of academic freedom (delivery and assessment), so we convey the material, how and if it gets used is up to each faculty member. What is it that Stuart Watts does? He brought education specialists in from the University of Texas and created CEU's so that all faculty had interest in attending. Emperor's will probably outsource with USC or UCLA and do the training for Masters and Doctoral faculty. PCOM has an educational specialist on board - Tom Haines who has an EdD. I prefer outsourcing because faculty are familiar with the administration and we are interested in a 'higher authority' sense that comes from someone outside the community.

Our dean, Stacy Gomes, is also an Ed.D candidate. Our faculty meetings are all about teacher training. We talk about things like Gagne's principles and being sure our methods of assessment actually assess what the syllabus says is our objectives. We always do a variety of exercises to improve pedagogy. Having worked at several schools which faculty meetings were just bitch sessions, I have been impressed with PCOM's focus on faculty improvement. I think it points out that the best academic dean may actualy be an education specialist, not an L.Ac. Our department heads are all L.Ac. and this is the level where specifc expertise in TCM comes into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
