• Faculty development includes all activities that teachers pursue
to improve their teaching skills in both individual and group
settings
• Individual approaches to faculty development include learning
on-the-job, observing role models in action and reflecting on
teaching and learning. Group approaches include structured
faculty development activities such as workshops or longitudinal
programmes, work-based learning and belonging to a
community of teachers
• To make faculty development work for you, it is important to
identify your needs, determine your preferred method(s) of
learning and choose a programme (or activity) that works for
you. Finding a mentor and a community of teachers that
support your vision and your goals can also be extremely
beneficial
