Title | Supporting Faculty in Their Journey to Promotion: A Flipped Classroom Approach |
Background/Purpose | The Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry requires all clinical faculty to be promoted to Associate Professor no later than 7 years after their appointment at the Assistant Professor level. Preparing for promotion can be a stressful time for busy faculty members. We have developed workshops to assist clinical faculty members in preparing for promotion using a flipped classroom approach. |
Methods | In-person workshops to promote promotion at Schulich have been available for years. The pandemic prevented in-person gatherings, requiring an online approach. Online learning materials were developed and uploaded such that the materials could be accessed asynchronously. The materials were presented in several formats including digital documentation, narrated PowerPoint presentations and video interviews. Topics covered included: the promotions process, developing a professional curriculum vitae, creating a teaching portfolio, writing a teaching philosophy, and faculty mentorship. Participants were required to complete online materials in advance of the virtual workshop. The workshop format is wholly question and answer, with multiple facilitators being present with a variety of expertise on the topics covered. Participants asked questions related to their personal challenges. |
Results | Workshops have been fully booked and well-attended. Participants from various Departments and from a wide spectrum of career experience attended. Participant engagement during the workshops was very high and evaluations have scored highly for every workshop to date. |
Discussion | We have found that the flipped classroom approach fosters self-directed learning and relevant, engaged discussion at virtual workshops. Access to asynchronous learning materials may allow for richer discussion during group sessions. |
