IMPORTANT NOTICE for the Mid-Career Faculty Development Workshop 2020

It disappoints to say that the APTA Academy of Education has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Mid-Career Faculty Workshop. We are facing many uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, and our registration has been far less than needed in order to provide a successful workshop - with registration numbers unlikely to increase in the near future.

We thank you for your patience with us during this time. Once we are able to determine a future date for the course, we will begin advertising on our webpage. We hope you will join us in 2021.

 

Objectives: Upon completion of the workshop, attendees will be able to:

  1. Recognize the difference between New faculty and Mid-career faculty in terms of roles, expectations, and responsibilities
  2. Identify resources to assist with career progression
  3. Explain the current conceptualization of clinical reasoning in physical therapy.
  4. Identify factors beyond cognitive processes that influence clinical reasoning.
  5. Develop pedagogically sound strategies to teach and assess clinical reasoning. 
  6. Differentiate between various teaching technologies as they relate to learner characteristics and class objectives
  7. Determine how to select and implement user-friendly teaching technology in your classroom
  8. Create short and long-term plans to implement technology into teaching

The primary audience for the workshop is full-time faculty who have been teaching 5 years or more in a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant program. Priority enrollment will be given to members of the APTA Academy of Education, APTA. Maximum enrollment is 60 participants.

The workshop will be interactive with content that can be applied immediately. Please bring a laptop computer – you will have time during the workshop to develop a tool for one of your courses using instructional technology.
