6 Conference Tracks

The Faculty Development Professionals Conference is committed to bringing educational developers research-based methods, practical engagement ideas, and innovative practices from nationally recognized presenters through six carefully chosen topic areas to help you customize your conference experience to fit your exact needs.

Assessing and Measuring Faculty Development Impact

How do we measure the success of faculty development efforts? This track focuses on assessing faculty growth, evaluating professional development initiatives, and demonstrating impact. Sessions may cover topics such as learning records, performance evaluation models, feedback strategies, and development planning to ensure continuous faculty improvement.

Advancing Evidence-Based Teaching Development

This track focuses on guiding educators in adopting evidence-based instructional strategies while supporting pedagogical innovation. Sessions explore training faculty on universal design for learning (UDL), course redesign support, and data-informed teaching improvements, emerging teaching models, integrating technology, and fostering experimentation in the classroom.

Building Innovative Faculty Development Programs

This track is designed for developing, marketing, and delivering faculty training programs and resources. Sessions focus on creating effective workshops, scaling faculty development initiatives, leveraging digital tools, and designing impactful professional learning experiences that drive faculty success.

Faculty Engagement & Retention

Keeping faculty motivated and engaged isn’t just important—it’s essential for long-term success.Sessions in this track explore strategies for supporting faculty throughout their careers, balancing academic demands, and fostering long-term engagement. Topics include retention strategies, overcoming burnout, faculty motivation, and reenergizing educators to sustain their passion for teaching and scholarship.

Leadership in Faculty Development

Strong leadership is essential for fostering a thriving academic environment. Sessions in this track focus on mentoring and coaching faculty, managing conflict, promoting inclusion and belonging, and building faculty collaboration. Topics also include strategic leadership in higher education, supporting faculty growth, and cultivating a positive institutional culture.

Special Topics in Faculty Development

Faculty development encompasses a broad range of responsibilities that don’t always fit neatly into traditional categories. This track includes emerging and interdisciplinary topics such as AI and technology in faculty development, trends and innovations, securing funding, strategic planning, publishing scholarly work, and other topics that don’t quite fit within the other topic tracks.
