Faculty Development

教师发展核心（Faculty Development Core） 康奈尔大学非常适合开发和测试创新方法，以增加教师的多样性， 创造一种包容性卓越的强大文化。它的多个学院以实质性的自主权运作， 是创新的实验室，导致康奈尔大学设计创新方法的令人羡慕的记录 已经在全国范围内被采用。这些“试验”已经制定了方案和政策， 这使得在招聘和留住来自不同领域的教师方面都取得了重大和可衡量的进展， 背景，包括女性。这些政策积极参与教师搜索委员会在采用 包容性招聘的最佳做法，导致更多的妇女和其他个人从 在STEM中代表性不足或少数民族化的背景。康奈尔大学也有一个成功的跟踪记录， 将机构投资与联邦计划相结合，以实现机构文化变革， 在增加STEM教师的代表性多样性方面取得稳步进展。有效实施最佳 如果政策和我们雇用新员工的学术环境中存在系统性偏见， 教师不被认为是一个整体过程的一部分。本文利用李博士提出的种子和土壤模型， 密歇根州立大学的贝隆达蒙哥马利，我们提出了一个高度创新的康奈尔大学第一学院 发展计划，同时解决种子（教师）和土壤（社区和 气候），以确保第一教师聘用发挥其全部潜力，并在康奈尔大学取得成功。我们假设 一个强大的，以证据为基础的教师发展计划将创造肥沃的土壤 （文化）包容性卓越和归属感，并确保第一教师是成功的。我们 为FIRST队列和其他代表性不足或边缘化的教师提出创新计划 通过实施我们的教师发展计划，在他们的领域。康奈尔大学将建立第一个教师社区 通过在学科和整个康奈尔大学创造一种归属感。我们将连接第一教师 专业和社会跨集群和队列，在部门单位和研究领域， 通过各种正式和非正式的网络和社区建设的机会，在整个大学。 康奈尔大学还将通过提供以下服务，促进所有FIRST教师的个人研究和职业发展 为FIRST教师量身定制与文化相关的专业发展机会，以促进成功 启动他们的研究计划，沟通明确的晋升和终身职位的途径，并支持 在教师角色中取得成功。我们预计，康奈尔大学第一计划将成功地雇用，保留， 支持10个新的教师在各自领域的代表性不足，同时促进可持续的机构文化变革。 这些活动将导致在生物，生物医学和健康科学的教师的多样性增加 在康奈尔大学，同时有助于学院的多样性，以及STEM劳动力的后代。

Project Summary (Faculty Development Core) Cornell University is ideally suited to develop and test innovative approaches to increase faculty diversity and to create a robust culture of inclusive excellence. Its multiple colleges operate with substantial autonomy and are laboratories for innovation, leading Cornell to an enviable track record of designing innovative approaches that have been adopted around the country. These “experiments” have established programming and policies that have resulted in significant and measurable gains in both hiring and retention of faculty from diverse backgrounds, including women. These policies have positively engaged faculty search committees in adopting best practices for inclusive hiring, resulting in increased hiring of women and other individuals from underrepresented or minoritized backgrounds in STEM. Cornell also has a successful track record of combining institutional investments with federal programs to effect institutional culture change and make steady progress in increasing representational diversity of STEM faculty. Effective implementation of the best laid policies can fall short if systemic bias in policies and the academic environment into which we hire new faculty are not considered as part of a holistic process. Using the seed and soil model proposed by Dr. Beronda Montgomery of Michigan State University, we propose a highly innovative Cornell FIRST Faculty Development Program that addresses both the seed (faculty member) and the soil (the community and climate) to ensure that FIRST faculty hires reach their full potential and succeed at Cornell. We hypothesize that a robust, evidence-based faculty development program across Cornell will create fertile ground (culture) for inclusive excellence and belonging and ensure that FIRST faculty are successful. We propose innovative programs for the FIRST cohort and other faculty who are underrepresented or marginalized in their fields by implementing our Faculty Development Initiative. Cornell will build FIRST faculty community by creating a sense of belonging in the discipline and across Cornell. We will connect FIRST faculty professionally and socially across their clusters and cohort, within departmental units and research fields, and across the university through a variety of formal and informal networking and community-building opportunities. Cornell will also foster individual research and career development for all FIRST faculty by providing tailored culturally relevant professional development opportunities to FIRST faculty to facilitate the successful start-up of their research programs, communicate clear pathways for promotion and tenure, and support success in their faculty roles. We expect that the Cornell FIRST program will successfully hire, retain, and support 10 new faculty underrepresented in their fields, while fostering sustainable institutional culture change. These activities will result in increased diversity of the faculty in the biological, biomedical, and health sciences at Cornell, while contributing to the diversity of academy, and future generations of the STEM workforce.
