"Thanks to the faculty retreat, I no longer feel apprehension when I think about assessment and instead I consider it a helpful tool. The training new faculty received at this retreat equipped us with practical approaches for learner-centered instruction in order to facilitate and enrich student learning. I wish I attended such a retreat years ago." ~Radmila Ballada, New Library Faculty

The New Full-Time Faculty Retreat will provide new full-time faculty with new ideas and tools for teaching their own courses.
During the retreat you will spend time developing your course syllabi, assessment tools, and learning centered activities that you will include in your courses. The time will be spent in developing your course curriculum with insightful support from other teachers from across the campus.
Networking is consistently mentioned as one of the most valuable resources gained from the retreat. Even if a faculty member previously held a part-time position at Clark, this retreat will be invaluable.
Through this interactive process instructors will have the opportunity to meet fellow Clark faculty members from across the campus, share knowledge, expertise and skills related to student learning, and answer questions about all the day-to-day details involved in the new position.
The facilitator for this retreat will be fellow faculty member Andrew Apter, Associate Director of Faculty Development in the Teaching and Learning Center.
