New Faculty Transition
Program Handbook
Our thanks to the
Teaching and Learning
Center at Ohio State University for allowing us to share many parts of their
wonderful Teacher Handbook with our New Faculty.
This handbook is for instructors at
Ferris State University. One of the most important goals of the University is to
offer effective instruction to the students who study here. The University
strives to recruit the best faculty and adjunct teachers possible and to support
them in their teaching, research, and service endeavors. As part of the support
for teaching, this handbook provides an overview of some basic information on
instructional strategies. To situate this information within the general context
of effective teaching, this introduction discusses what is meant by effective
teaching, how teachers can continue to develop their instructional strengths
through seeking and using feedback, and how, given the pressures on instructors
to perform well in several roles, they can “balance it all.”
