"Best Practices for Professional Development and Support of Contingent Faculty" (Roundtable)

43rd Annual Convention
Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)

March 15-18, 2012

This session is for contingent faculty members and the administrators who support them (department chairs, program coordinators, deans.) Partipants will discuss effective professional development programs that have worked at their institutions. Practical ideas for part-time faculty orientation sessions, technology training programs, handbooks, listservs, websites, and recognition programs are welcome---including specific suggestions and resources for part-time instructors who teach online.
