Through a comprehensive multi-case study design, encompassing semi-structured interviews, document analysis, focus groups, and surveys, the book explores the intricacies of faculty development within six distinct community college settings. Three of these case studies, conducted prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, shed light on the pivotal role played by the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) in fostering faculty growth. Meanwhile, the remaining three case studies showcase the remarkable adaptations made by faculty developers and faculty members at their respective institutions in response to the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. These cases illustrate how faculty development transitions from long-term, sustained initiatives like SoTL and FLCs to just-in-time (JiT) faculty development, as well as the emergence of virtual and collaborative faculty development approaches. As teaching models continue to evolve and faculty development gains traction in community colleges, this book underscores the indispensable role of collaboration in faculty development and highlights the supportive frameworks within the community college context that facilitate continuous professional growth for educators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781475859072\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrell Hoy Jenab,Heidi L Hallman","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102232572154,"sku":"9781475859072","price":71.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646268151089_book.jpg?v=1646935810","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/faculty-development-creating-a-collaborative-culture-in-community-colleges-9781475859072","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
