New Faculty

New Faculty Member? Start Here!

First, welcome and congratulations! Human Resources, the LDS Team, and your school office will provide you with lots of information to get you off to a good start. If you are new to Fleming College it is best to start with the following resources: 

Contract Faculty Experience

Before your first day, you have the Contract Faculty Experience to help you prepare. This program will provide structure and support for your early days as a new faculty member.  

Program Description: The online Contract Faculty Experience is designed to support new contract faculty members to become familiar with their roles and responsibilities at Fleming College as well as the resources available to support the success of all students. This program emphasizes evidence-based practices for lesson planning and instruction which include all students.

New Faculty Experience

The New Faculty Experience is a program for new full-time faculty to build community, develop their teaching skills, and work towards their own professional learning goals. For more information, check out the New Faculty Experience Course Outline. 

Program Description: The New Faculty Experience is designed to support new faculty to collaborate and continuously develop exceptional instructional and assessment practices. This program emphasizes faculty practicing high-impact instructional skills and practices in a low-stakes, collegial environment, to receive constructive feedback throughout their first year of full-time faculty employment with Fleming College.   

Teaching & Learning Kick Off

In this 60-minute, interactive session, you’ll learn some teaching tips for the first days and weeks of class. We’ll discuss how to: 

    • Set positive expectations for learning;
    • Plan and deliver effective and engaging lessons; and
    • Get started with D2L.

Although this session is intended to support new faculty members, all are welcome.
