Intensive Professional Development for Faculty
Intensive professional development (IPD) opportunities are sustained, cohort-based programs designed to strengthen faculty capacity and success in support of one’s career trajectory (e.g., teaching, administration, research, service/outreach, student success, or other aspects of the faculty role). Regardless of whether they are virtual, face-to-face, or hybrid, IPD programs often involve:
- Eligibility criteria or a selection process
- At least four synchronous meetings over a single semester
- At least 15 hours of active engagement
- Individual or group engagement projects
- Program offerings on an annual or some other regular recurring basis
This definition and the list below were coordinated by the 2022-23 UGA Action Research team, which is comprised of the representatives from the Center for Teaching & Learning, Non-Tenure-Track Faculty Learning Community, Office of Faculty Affairs, and Office of Research.
