Karan A. Cole, Director Since 1990, we have co-developed and implemented more than 100 workshops and programs for institutions regionally, nationally and internationally. A major strength of our consultation service in special programs is our committment to creating programs that can become self-sustaining in the client division, department or institution. This is achieved by individualizing workshops or series of workshops to institutional and participant needs, coupled with providing extensive support prior to and following implementation. In addition to developing and implementing workshops, our team can support client efforts in the following ways: - Facilitation of the planning efforts for faculty development in a broad sense
- Facilitation of buy-in by the faculty
- Collaborative planning and implementation of skills development and team-building among the faculty across interdisciplinary lines
- If desired, a train-the-trainer approach with a core group, enabling them to continue faculty development efforts on their own
- Facilitation of the intergration of these efforts at the client institution
- Follow-up, as desired
A primary consultant is identified to work on planning, implementation and follow-up. This consultant then creats a team of Johns Hopkins faculty facilitators. We generally recommend on facilitator for every five to seven participants, depending on institutional budgetary constraints, and as much continuity in facilitation across workshops as possible. In addition, an on-site visit is recommended. This could include: - meetings with those who are central to the faculty development efforts for the client in order to further assess institutional and participant needs for training and to continue to build a working relationship among all participants.
- a site visit to areas representative of the contexts for teaching among client faculty.
- next-level planning.
Individual workshops are offered for selected Teaching Skills and Curriculum Development content (times to be announced). |
