A Model for an Intensive Hands-On Faculty Development Workshop To Foster Change in Laboratory Teaching

Faculty development workshops are frequently used to bring about change in faculty teaching. Yet, the characteristics of successful faculty professional development in the context of laboratory teaching are unclear. In this Perspective, we describe our approach to intensive hands-on faculty developm...
