Designing Accessible and Inclusive Professional Development for NTTF Toolkit

This toolkit is meant to accompany our report “Designing Accessible and Inclusive Professional Development for NTTF,” which was created as part of the Delphi Project on the Changing Faculty and Student Success. In this report, we found that a variety of professional development opportunities are often necessary to support NTTF, given their needs, interests, and time constraints. More intensive professional development programs, including faculty learning communities, curricular redesign and departmental action teams, certificate programs, and discussion groups, offer NTTF sustained opportunities for learning and interaction with colleagues. These more intensive programs can offer a number of benefits for NTTF: instructional effectiveness, a sense of belonging, institutional integration and knowledge of resources, a professional network, career development and advancement, and opportunities for advocacy and leadership development.
