Creating and Leading an Organizational Culture of Teaching Excellence

---

---

Academic leaders have many concerns and responsibilities related to developing an organizational culture that supports excellence:

• At many institutions, unless one’s leadership role is specifically dedicated to teaching affairs, administrators often emphasize research productivity and external funding as the primary means to raising the profile of an academic unit.
• However, often faculty commitment to teaching excellence is taken for granted.
• This approach is short-sighted and will limit the effectiveness and excellence of a program.

In this virtual workshop, your presenter will discuss strategies for integrating a focus on teaching excellence with other academic organizational goals to achieve a comprehensive and holistic culture of excellence that impacts all stakeholders.
