Faculty Development
Baylor University offers its faculty members a variety of faculty development opportunities to support teaching and research as well as creative activities and performance in the arts. The specific opportunities offered by the university may vary over time as they evolve to meet changing faculty and university needs. Additional resources are available from the Academy for Teaching and Learning (ATL).
Updates and New Information
- Attention all department chairs and graduate program directors: please consult the SACSCOC Substantive Change Policy when considering proposing a new degree program or modifying the form of delivery of a course (e.g., moving from a traditional live lecture to a distance education method of delivery).
- The Annual Faculty Performance Evaluation Form (completed by the department chair/division director/program director or dean in those schools/colleges that do not have departments) and Planning for the Year Ahead documents must be used in all faculty evaluations; the Planning Document Instructions document gives guidance for completing the Planning for the Year Ahead document.
