What are Proven Strategies to Overcome Faculty Disengagement Due to Professional Self-Worth?

The importance of recognizing and valuing faculty members’ professional contributions cannot be overstated. When faculty don’t feel that their contributions are appreciated, their feelings of self-worth are reduced, which leads to burnout and even prompts them to resign.

This Magna 20-Minute Mentor explores the connection between faculty self-worth and their overall engagement. Using research and evidence-based solutions from their work focused on reengaging faculty published in the Journal of Faculty Development, the presenters will explain how to overcome this crucial factor while helping you to create a culture that better fosters self-worth, recognition, and appreciation for faculty contributions. When you address these critical issues, your faculty will not only be better equipped to sustain their own passion and dedication which will reinvigorate their engagement, but it also helps them provide more meaningful experiences for their students.
