Getting Started Online Pre-Conference Workshop Call for Facilitators
The Professional Development Committee (PDC) is now accepting applications for facilitators for the Getting Started Pre-Conference Workshop for New Educational Developers for the online annual POD Network Conference. This popular interactive workshop orients new educational developers to the field. We hope to recruit facilitators willing to adapt the current in-person conference to the online conference. We are hoping to add up to 6 facilitators to the panel.
We encourage any educational developer, regardless of background or experience level, to consider sharing their experience with colleagues by acting as a facilitator. If you are interested in applying to serve as a facilitator, please review the following information:
-
Facilitators volunteer their time; they do not receive an honorarium. Funding may be available to assist with the cost of attending the conference for those demonstrating need.
-
If you choose to volunteer, this opportunity is for the online conference
-
Facilitators have the opportunity to participate for up to three years, with facilitators working as a team of 6. Ideally, each year, two new facilitators will join the team with those completing their third year rolling off.
-
The team commits to a number of virtual planning meetings, starting in the spring, in preparation for the conference (the team will negotiate frequency, but facilitators should expect no more than 1 meeting per month, with likely more frequency in the month leading up to the conference)
-
While there is an existing curriculum from previous in-person sessions (see an example agenda here), the team can choose to draw from content used in previous versions of this session, or update the material. Current in-person facilitators will work with, and assist the team in adapting materials to an online format.
Please take a look at the proposed topics below and identify at least two (2) for which you have expertise and experience. If there is a topic not listed that you would like to propose, you are welcome to do so.
-
Understanding the field of educational development
-
Consultation and coaching as foundational skills

POD Academic Writing Scholars – Deadline: May 2, 2023
TIA is committed to diversifying the pool of writers who contribute to educational development scholarship to include new educational developers, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) authors, and members of groups historically underrepresented in educational development scholarship (e.g., educational developers at community colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)). We know that scholarly writing takes time, cultural capital, and financial resources, and that institutions vary on available resources. Therefore, the POD Academic Writing Scholars pilot will support up to eight writers from identity groups and/or institutions that are historically underrepresented in educational development scholarship.
From June- November 2023, up to eight participants with writing projects at any stage of development (e.g., an idea, data collected; a full draft, etc.) will meet twice per month to receive feedback from peers and former TIA editors, and receive support and guidance on the writing, review, and publication process.
Please see more details on this website. For full consideration, apply by May 1, 2023, 11:59pm ET.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or reach out to any member of the TIA editorial team.
Kind regards,
Lindsay, Michael, Marina and Derisa — TIA Editorial Team
