Badging Program Details
The Faculty Center Badging Program is designed to assist faculty in documenting professional growth in teaching, research, scholarship, and leadership development. Seven (7) badge tracks and six (6) training levels allow faculty to show breadth of training across topics. Through Action Plans and Capstone, reflections allow faculty to create evidence of and showcase commitment to professional growth.
Badging Process
- Register for a Faculty Center workshop on the Workshop Calendar webpage
- After attending the workshop, you will receive an automated email with the following Action Plan prompts:
- Write a 2-3 sentence summary covering the workshop’s highlights and what content was the most informative and useful for you.
- Describe how you will implement a tool, strategy, or idea from today’s workshop in your teaching or professional context.
- After submitting 4 Action Plans in a badge track, you will receive an automated email with the following Capstone Reflection prompts:
- What strategies and/or knowledge gained from this workshop most influenced your approach to teaching?
- Review the action plans you created after attending each workshop for this badge. List implemented ideas and briefly describe the process of implementation.
- Assess the effects of those implemented changes. What was successful? Provide concrete evidence of how student learning improved or benefitted from your changes (student behavior, test scores, feedback received, etc.)
- Explain plans for future growth, implementation, further training, incremental improvements, etc.
