Effect of a Teaching Consultation Process Upon Personal Development in Faculty

Some teaching centers flounder while others flourish. One of the authors [“Teresa”] was placed in charge of a floundering center. Dramatic changes transformed it from a “forgotten unit” to a flourishing center. The other author [“Sandra”] launched a new center, which is well on its way to playing a central role in university life. This paper provides concrete suggestions for successfully launching or revitalizing a teaching center, drawn both from our experience and from principles in the literature.
