Selecting a Campus Leader

The CTL Steering Committee, respecting the diversity of campus-based faculty development efforts, asks that all campuses follow these guidelines:

• It is recommended that a single Leader be designated for each of an institution’s campuses.
• The CTL Campus Leader should be the institution’s designated faculty development director or coordinator, if such a position exists.
• The CTL Campus Leader is expected to work with the institution’s chief academic officer faculty governance, and the faculty development team to define campus priorities.
• CTL Campus Leaders should be identified with faculty input through a process that encourages diversity in appointments and rotation of appointments over time.
• The process for identifying CTL Campus Leaders should be publicly communicated on campus.
• CTL Campus Leaders should serve for defined, renewable terms.
• The campus community, including faculty and administrators, should have recourse if the CTL Campus Leader is not performing at a minimal level.

The CTL Campus Leader Brochure has additional information that will be helpful in selecting a campus leader.

Role of the CAO in Selection

The Center for Teaching and Learning works with campus chief academic officers, or CAOs, to ensure that the CTL Campus Leader position serves the institution's needs. The designated CTL Campus Leader should be a faculty member who will support faculty development activities on campus. The Campus Leader should also be an active member of a campus faculty development team. By September of each academic year, campus CAOs must submit a "CTL Campus Leader Designation" form designating the name of the CTL Campus Leader for the upcoming academic year.

The "CTL Campus Leader Designation" form asks the CAO to identify:

• The specific amount of matching funds that will be provided, and how the total budget will be allocated (% to programming; % to Leader);
• The working relationship between the CTL Campus Leader and other faculty development team members;
• The process by which a CTL Campus Leader is selected;
• What additional resources are available to support the faculty development team;
• The Web site where information about faculty development on campus is available.

Leader Responsibilities:

Although local roles and responsibilities of CTL Campus Leaders certainly vary, the responsibilities common to all CTL Campus Leaders are these:

• Work in collaboration with an established faculty development team and with other campus leaders (e.g., CAO, deans, the director of a campus teaching center, faculty development committees, and others) to:
  • Plan, organize and facilitate campus faculty development meetings and activities.
  • Arrange for annual campus visits by your CTL Faculty Coordinator.
  • Provide support, resources, and feedback to faculty who are involved in undertaking teaching and learning innovations.
  • Attend at least one, but preferably both, CTL Campus Leadership meetings each year, with one or two other team members from their institution or campus.
• Invite faculty to campus CTL meetings, and to system-level or regional workshops and conferences.
• Create and promote networking and learning community opportunities for faculty—to include system-level as well as campus-based communities.
• If applicable, assist CTL and college and university Leaders in conducting an annual regional seminar or conference in your region.
  (Metro Alliance Leaders, e.g., assist with the Annual RSP/ITeach Conference.)
• Coordinate and disseminate in a timely manner information on systemwide CTL activities and resources.
• Provide assistance and feedback to the Office of the Chancellor CTL staff for program planning and delivery.
• Assist Office of the Chancellor CTL staff in idea- and information-sharing through statewide and campus bulletins, CTL publications, and Web sites.
• Participate in CTL Web conferences and other statewide communication forums.
• Submit a year-end campus activities and budget report according to the CTL Annual Report Guidelines and send to CTL by June 1.
