Summary:

Recognizing that a necessary and significant role change is underway in faculty development, this book calls for centers to merge the traditional responsibilities and services of the past several decades with a leadership role as organizational developers. Failing collectively to define and outline the dimensions and expertise of this new role puts centers at risk of not only marginalization, but of dissolution. Proposing a newly defined organizational development role for academic and faculty developers and directors of teaching and learning centers, the authors examine how significant involvement in broader institutional change initiatives is becoming a critical aspect of this work. Based on extensive research, this book constitutes a guide for faculty developers to reexamine the mission and structure of their centers, or to design new centers, and, most importantly, to develop their role as change agents.
