The amount of time spent in each area is determined on an annual<br>basis, after discussion between the faculty member and their Department Chair, and may vary<br>from year to year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department and School,<br>consistent with the university’s mission as a teaching institution. While the majority of faculty<br>typically spend the greatest percentage of their time teaching, there is the opportunity in a given<br>year for the percentage of time in any category to change.</p> <p><br>Teaching responsibilities may include both undergraduate and graduate courses. The number<br>of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types, the number of<br>different preparations, and the number of students served.</p> <p><br>Service will typically include participating in and/or taking leadership roles in Purdue Global<br>department or institution-wide governance committees. Service examples also include course<br>lead, training and mentoring other faculty, facilitating student-focused organizations or activities,<br>the evaluation of student portfolios, curriculum work, vacation relief for colleagues, and<br>leadership in professional organizations. In limited cases, specific service activities may be<br>assigned additional compensation.</p> <p><br>Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member and may not be<br>required. Scholarship activities should be developed in consultation with the Dean, Associate<br>Dean or Academic Chair. Examples of PG scholarship activities include developing and<br>implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and professional challenges, as well as<br>publishing articles related to research within the discipline or profession and/or presenting at<br>academic or professional meetings.</p> <p><br>Some professional development (8 hours) is required for all faculty over the course of a year.<br>Faculty development beyond these minimum expectations may be considered part of an annual<br>workload, if determined appropriate by the Academic Department Chair or requested by the<br>faculty member and approved by the Department Chair.</p> <p><br>A balance of these four responsibilities is intended to sustain the academic goals of the<br>university to serve adult learners, and advance the professional goals of the faculty, while</p> <p>creating a supportive learning environment that provides students with a clear path to<br>graduation.</p> <p><br><em>Teaching is typically the primary assignment for a Purdue Global faculty member, with</em><br><em>service, scholarship and additional professional development activities comprising the</em><br><em>balance of the annual workload. If no assignments are made in service and scholarship,</em><br><em>a faculty member whose only assignment is teaching would not exceed 16-18 courses</em><br><em>taught in a year.</em></p></div></div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px"><b>What to expect in this role:</b></H2> </div><div><p>● Provides a student-centered learning environment which enables students to attain success.<br>● Reports concerns regarding student academic progress to Success Coaches or<br> Academic Advisors, as appropriate.
