Faculty Guides/Faculty Development Committee

Thus, the responsibilities of the faculty development committee are as follows:
1) To assess what professional interests and goals exist for faculty and what supports can be offered in helping faculty to achieve those goals2) To create programming, training, and other miscellaneous supports to allow for increased faculty engagement and achievement within those identified areas of interest and need.

Teaching and Learning Colleagues
In spite of what one often hears, the old adage that (outstanding) teachers are born, not made simply isn’t true. Outstanding teaching, actually just plain good teaching, takes practice and hard work. Perhaps of upmost importance, good feedback from those who know good teaching can improve the ease and effectiveness of the course design and classroom teaching aspects.
The Teaching and Learning Colleagues work with all faculty to help each of us increase our level of understanding into our own teaching and student learning. The TLC work with new faculty, as well as returning faculty, in developing a strong collegial relationship and discuss teaching and learning with you. This relationship is strictly confidential and are not used in an evaluative fashion. Click here to learn more about TLC.

“My favorite thing about teaching at Maryville is the support for technology in teaching and learning.”
“Maryville allows you to be creative and they are open to new ideas and ways in which to teach so that helped me tremendously while preparing my courses.”
“I like the Professional Development sessions offered by Maryville University. The creative freedom in designing the courses/teaching activities is one of my favorite things about teaching at Maryville.”
“Maryville is extremely supportive of risk-taking in the classroom. Don’t keep teaching the same old thing the same old way. Try something new. If it works, keep doing it! If it doesn’t, use student feedback to improve it and try again.”

St. Louis as your classroom
We like to think of St. Louis as a vast laboratory, a place where our students apply classroom theory to invaluable real-world situations with hundreds of companies and institutions. Rawlings Sport Business Management majors have interned at Rawlings Corp., the St. Louis Cardinals, and many other sports-related organizations locally and across the nation. St. Louis delivers plenty of opportunity for practical career experience.
