Overview of Services:

Faculty Development connects professors at Lehigh with resources on teaching and learning, and with information about faculty research. Events sponsored or co-sponsored by Faculty Development include:

• Workshops on topics such as use of small groups in the classroom, lecturing successfully, cooperative and collaborative learning techniques, and use of Blackboard to enhance a course.
  
• Faculty-led seminars based on books about teaching, learning, and the academic life.
  
• Workshops by nationally-known consultants on specific teaching and research topics.
  
• Consultations or short seminars on a range of teaching topics.
• Assistance with course development questions, including advice on the effective incorporation of academic technology into courses.
  
• Live video-conferences on teaching and learning.
  
• Workshops on faculty careers, with such topics as "preparing a teaching portfolio."
  
• Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable presentations.
  
• Funding for faculty attendance at teaching conferences: the Lilly Conferences on College Teaching and annual American Association of Higher Education conferences, and other state and national conferences.

Dr. Gregory Reihman, Director of Faculty Development, also provides confidential, voluntary consultation to faculty about their teaching, which may include classroom observation visits, videotaping of class sessions, and discussions about what these observations show. Dr. Reihman is also available for informal mid-semester evaluations in classes, using standard questions or specific questions provided by the teacher of the class.

Both the Lehigh libraries and the Faculty Development Program have books and videos on many topics related to teaching. A list of available books is available both in hard copy and on this web site.

The Faculty Development Program is located in 370a Fairchild Martindale Library (enter through the lower, Media Center door, proceed down the steps, through the Technology Resource Learning Center and back to 370a). Dr. Reihman may be contacted at 610-758-6840 or infdli@lehigh.edu.
