This state-of-the-art book examines the turbulence of faculty work amid major shifts in society, technology and public expectations. Reflecting on gaps in student preparation, holistic support for well-being and institutional infrastructure, Pamela L. Eddy and Katalin Wargo argue for a reimagining of faculty development that supports faculty members throughout their career to better align with transformative change.

The authors introduce the 'Agile Faculty Development Framework' in response to this shifting environment. Grounded in principles of organizational learning and shared understanding of student, faculty, and institutional needs, this innovative framework illustrates how faculty development can be redesigned to strengthen well-being, promote inclusive teaching, support technology integration and cultivate both faculty leadership and leaders of faculty development efforts. Drawing on international case studies, this insightful book emphasizes the importance of supporting faculty well-being and sustaining faculty on their career pathway, providing evidence-based approaches for assisting faculty in their complex and ever-changing roles to enhance student learning.

Rethinking Faculty Development is a vital resource for scholars and students of higher education policy, particularly those interested in bolstering the roles and functions of faculty. Faculty developers and higher education administrators will similarly benefit from its actionable recommendations.
