Associate Faculty Development

Associate faculty (sometimes called adjunct faculty, part-time faculty, or part-time lecturers) find a welcoming home and colleagues at the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), which supports the work and professional development of all faculty at IU Indianapolis through many programs and resources. Whether you teach an online or hybrid course, in a face-to-face classroom, or in a clinical setting, we at the CTL are ready to support your work and professional development as a university instructor.

Save these dates: We're having our Associate Faculty Welcomes on August 19 (virtually) and August 28 (in-person at the CTL)!

Come to the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) for the Associate Faculty Welcome! We're holding it on two different evenings to better meet your busy schedule: Monday, August 19 and Wednesday, August 28, at 5:30 p.m. Meet your colleagues, CTL consultants and staff, and representatives from around the university who will support your teaching efforts! (Also food and beverages on August 28.)

Resources, Workshops, Webinars, and Individual Consultations

The Center for Teaching and Learning also supports associate faculty with Resources (tip sheets and topical resources available online, and with equipment loans), Workshops, live and recorded Webinars, and with Individual Consultations—both in-person (at our office in University Library) and remote (via video conference or telephone). Our center supports the efforts of associate faculty who seek to learn about, create, and implement appropriate and effective teaching strategies, whether through instructional design (teaching strategies and techniques) or through the use of technologies (e.g., Canvas, TopHat, etc.).
