• Resumen

  • The Cottrell Scholars Collaborative New Faculty Workshop (CSC NFW) is a professional development program that was initiated in 2012 to address absences in the preparation of chemistry faculty at research universities as funded researchers and educators (i.e., teacher�scholars). The primary focus of the workshop is an introduction to evidence-based teaching methods; other topics including mentoring, work�life balance, time management, and grant writing are also addressed. A longer-term aim of the workshop is to develop lifelong teacher�scholars by encouraging workshop participants to engage with teaching-focused faculty learning communities through the CSC NFW and at their institutions. The workshop also provides a platform to investigate the adoption of student-centered pedagogies among new faculty, and a study of that process was initiated concurrently. Thus, the aim of the workshop program is to address professional development needs as well as understand the efficacy of that effort.
