Are you new to leadership and asked to take on new responsibilities? If so, congratulations! Now how do you quickly learn everything you need to know about leading a team?

New Academic Leaders: Strategies for Success is designed to help newly appointed or promoted academic leaders get off to a successful start in their new position. It includes information about leadership, faculty development, faculty evaluation, and more. Often, promotions come without training and individuals are left to figure things out as they go.

  • Understand how to craft appropriate feedback to faculty, whether they are tenure-track, tenured, or part-time instructors.
  • Avoid the six biases that affect online teaching evaluation
  • Identify 20 strategies for institutionalizing OER and develop a strategy for institutionalizing OER at your institution
