We partner with Faculty Development and other units (e.g., Library & Learning Resources; Institutional Research; Student Academic Success and Equity Initiatives, etc.) to bring a teaching, learning, and innovation perspective to campus initiatives. 

This year, I'm interested in ways to expand capacity to do more with less, as well as impact measurement and reporting (an ongoing interest), and supporting digital learning strategy efforts for our campus. ]]> 2023-09-12 22:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2700691599 https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2700696953 Ramping up as Interim Dir. of CTL here at San Diego State.

While I sometimes miss teaching Art History, I love that I get to learn something new about faculty development almost daily. This semester, I am attempting to connect our programming so that it feels less like separate “pop-ups” and more of a gamified, “choose your own adventure.” ]]> 2023-09-12 23:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2700740208 https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2700968448 Hello! I am the interim Director of the Faculty Center. This is my 2nd semester in this role. I have been at CSULB for 19 years. My area of expertise is Child Development and Early Childhood Education.

I serve as the Faculty Learning & Development Specialist in the Center for Inclusive Excellence here at SDSU. I’ve been on this campus and in this role for nearly 2 years and have been teaching for nearly 3 decades and directing centers for teaching and learning on other campuses for most of the last 20 years. My disciplinary background is in writing and the teaching of writing and my expertise includes inclusive instruction, equitable pedagogy, restorative and transformative justice, service-learning, and community engagement (to name a few). When I’m not talking about justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, I’m hanging out with my favorite human (pictured above). This year I’m looking forward to strengthening our collaboration and partnership with the CTL (and D.J.!), expanding our successful Inclusive Excellence Faculty Fellowship, and partnering with colleagues in Ecology and Evolutionary Sciences on a recently awarded NSF grant to diversity Biology degree pathways and career pursuits. ]]> 2023-09-13 18:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2702634123 https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2702881871 I am the Director of the Center of Faculty Excellence in the Office of IDEAS (Innovation and Digital Excellence for Academic Success). I have been in this role for about 18 months. My disciplinary background is French Medieval literature and I feel a long way from that.

I was a Professor in the Economics department since 2003 and most recently the department chair. You can read more about me here. I am looking forward to being in this supportive role for faculty and my goals are to provide opportunities for faculty in not only teaching development but also mentoring and leadership development. I am interested in how all of you have shown the impact of your centers on your campus.]]> 2023-09-14 17:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704563691 https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704576180
I am currently the director of Teaching Resources Center at CSUSB. We focus on equity minded teaching , and to deal with the urgency of the impact of AI on our classrooms. 
I am also interested in building community and increase faculty engagement in "in-person" meetings and workshops beyond the pandemic.]]> 2023-09-14 17:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704576180 https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704596052 I am returning to Faculty Development after six years away. My professional home is in Communication. I love this work and am excited to be back. I have been writing and presenting about AI in higher education for the last few months. ]]> 2023-09-14 17:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704596052 https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704620463 Hi everyone! I'm the director of the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology at Cal Poly SLO. Been here in this position since 2012, with seven years prior as the teaching center director at Illinois State University. My academic area is communication technologies (social and relational aspects), which remains helpful in this work promoting cultural change in higher education. We have a team of 7 talented staff in our center, consistent financial support, and a solid reputation on campus. I feel that I've finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up when my career transitioned to teaching center leadership 18 years ago. Current areas of growth for me include: equitable grading, affective aspects of learning, mindful educators, neurodiversity and neuroplasticity, and wellbeing. Love conversations with my colleagues and I appreciate your support.]]> 2023-09-14 17:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704620463 https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704635496 Hello to the best CSU-wide group I've ever been a part of in my 20 years in the CSU. I've been faculty developing for a decade now- first focusing on New Faculty Orientations and now as Director of a center that provides PD in teaching, scholarship & service/leadership. I'm proud that I've managed to significantly increase our budget over the years, including elevating the director role from a faculty buy-out to a stable MPP role. This year our campus is managing the continued transition back to campus work for faculty and all the ripple impacts of this transition. ]]> 2023-09-14 17:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704635496 jules_balen https://padlet.com/shradhat/eyufdzrpu9szrbh2/wish/2704738888 I have retired and am FERPing as 1/2-time FDD with now two Faculty Fellows--Stacey Anderson and Dennis Downey, and our fabulous campus partner, Lorna Gonzalez. So obviously our office is in transition. My hope is to make a smooth transition to a new director and make sure a strong foundation is in place for that person.

I've been at CSUCI since 2005, starting as a full-time lecturer and then migrating to the tenure track in 2016.
