Join us for an insightful session as we delve into Brave Teaching Journeys, a semester-long exploration of faculty competence. In this engaging presentation, we will share practical insights and lessons learned from our community’s experiences, highlighting the impact of collaboration, recognition, and innovation. Discover the foundations of our journey as we introduce the Georgian Faculty Competency Framework and discuss its development. Through real-world examples, we will illustrate how this framework serves as a guide for educators, empowering them to excel in their diverse roles within the academic landscape. In addition, we will explore the role of community in driving professional growth as we reflect on the connections forged and the adoption of a culture of collaboration and growth. We will also discuss how acknowledging individual achievements motivate others and contributes to a culture of excellence within our academic community.
In our session we will provide a closer look at our approach to badging competencies using tools like PebblePad and Credly. Discover how these platforms have streamlined the process of displaying and confirming faculty ability, providing a tangible pathway for professional development and recognition.
Finally, our hope is that our story of brave teaching offers valuable insights and practical strategies for enhancing faculty competence and building a stronger academic community.
