We're developing comprehensive resources and support under four pillars — teaching and learning, research and creativity, service and engagement and faculty life and leadership. Keep up with UMKC's faculty accomplishment through the Roos Rock! page.
Over the years UMKC has participated in the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey. Our most recent participation was in 2017. Much has changed at UMKC since that time, and it only seems appropriate that we gather information about faculty perceptions regarding faculty workplace experiences to help inform us about programs and practices that support faculty at UMKC. Be on the lookout for more information soon!
The Mid-Career Faculty Development program will provide participants with the resources to develop a strategic plan for advancing their academic careers. Both tenure and non-tenure track faculty are encouraged to apply.
This pilot Peer Observation Program will be carried out in the spring 2023 semester. This program is designed to promote teaching development through creation of a collaborative partnership between the faculty member being observed (the Observee) and a trained Observer. Observees can choose to identify a specific area of focus for their observation or ask for a more generalized observation. For the pilot, the courses observed must be offered in the traditional classroom format (face-to-face). This program includes focused conversations between the trained Observer and Observee along with guided self-reflection activities
