CIRT Faculty Development Program

CIRT firmly believes that any endeavor intended to advance a person's knowledge and abilities in fields deemed crucial to a faculty member's performance in a department or residency program—including teaching, administrative, research, and clinical abilities—is essential to the progress of science and humanity.

Individual faculty members have suffered as the primary goal of faculty development has changed from individual teacher development to a more institutional, systematic approach to planning.

CIRTs Approach to Implementing Faculty Development

Integrating socialization into institutional culture academic institutions' hiring: CIRT implements orientation programs that are successful in the long run in terms of staff retention.
A person's pedagogical approach represents their notion of teaching and learning. This is preparation for a fruitful career in education. The faculty development initiatives of CIRT seek to improve this idea
Supporting Academic Vitality: Faculty development initiatives are visible representations of institutions' deep-seated confidence in their staff.
Meeting The Needs Of Society: CIRT seeks to prepare faculty members for change and adaptation, with minds open to new concepts and innovations and with learning attitudes that encourage the pursuit of education throughout one's working life.
Putting in place accountability and professionalism In the actual teaching. A teacher's primary job is not always teaching. CIRT aids in the establishment of quantifiable benchmarks that force teachers to professionalize their practice, for which they are subsequently amply compensated.
