2019-2020 Deans' Forum
Topic: Developing and Refining a Faculty Workload Methodology that Works
Date: November 18, 2019
Speaker: Valerie M. Howard, EdD, MSN, RN, CNE, ANEF, FAAN; Associate Dean of Academic Affairs
In higher education, teaching, research and service remain the three core missions of our faculty, and a percentage of faculty effort is assigned for each. In nursing education, the addition of clinical practice adds a further dimension to the equation when determining faculty workload. Several factors add complexity to calculating the workload equation in nursing education which include, but are not limited to the nursing faculty shortage, an aging nursing faculty workforce, different environments for teaching (online, in class, clinical, simulation), tenure vs non-tenure tracks, and varying institutional types (Carnegie Classification).
The purpose of this webinar is to describe the current landscape in nursing higher education as it relates to assigning teaching responsibility as a part of nursing faculty workload. The current evidence will be summarized, different models for determining teaching assignments will be presented and important factors to be considered when determining teaching assignments will be presented. Following the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share solutions with the group.
