The mission of the Knox Faculty Development Program is to assist and support faculty in their professional development--to help us both shape and realize our own goals in the areas of teaching, research/creative work, and other professional activities. Such a program assumes that at all stages of a career there is more to learn about our craft, and that part of the fun and challenge of our jobs is to keep learning--to keep re-inventing ourselves as teachers and scholars/artists. While much of our thinking about our work necessarily takes place privately, on an individual basis, much can also be gained by conversation and joint work with our peers. The central goal of this program is to provide opportunities for such collegial exchange.
