Faculty Support
The LLI has developed a number of independent and interdependent initiatives to equip faculty members and PhD scholars with the skills and tools necessary to improve their instructional and pedagogical skills.
Faculty Certificate in Teaching and Learning (FCTL)
The Certificate helps faculty achieve teaching excellence based on the criteria described in the LUMS Appointment Promotion and Tenure Policy document. FCTL caters to different faculty needs and interests through customized school-specific interventions and offers differentiated routes to completion for faculty at different points in their career. The Certificate is highly flexible and can easily fit around faculty's demanding teaching and research schedules. LLI also offers bespoke workshops for professional development such as the likes of Inclusive Teaching Dialogue workshop series, Authentic & Renewable Assessments, Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning etc.
To be eligible for this Certificate, it is advised that faculty complete one opportunity per module. For example, to fulfill the course design competency, participants can complete the course design express workshop, take the course design seminar, or participate in a course design partnership. Less than 40 contact hours are required to complete this certification over the span of two years. SDSB and SSE has mandated its new faculty to complete this certification within two years of joining LUMS.
The Theory & Practice certificate is highly recommended for Early-Career faculty with limited exposure to and experience with teaching in higher education.
Faculty at LUMS are required to develop a teaching dossier which may be needed at various stages of their career for different purposes. A Teaching Dossier is a combination of documents- narrative descriptions of teaching, sample teaching materials and teaching evaluations- that highlights and summarizes faculty's teaching experience.
In order to get a certificate for FCTL Advanced, it is advised that faculty participate in both the opportunities in the teaching dossier module as listed below. The Teaching Dossier Workshop will equip faculty with tools and resources to develop their dossier while Developing Teaching Dossier will allow faculty to submit their dossier to LLI for review.
