This preconference provided an overview of how to seek out and create a faculty development plan for "lifelong learning." Members of the Behavioral Science/Family Systems Educator Fellowship and the Faculty Development Collaborative provided a framework for a personal faculty development plan to include 3 objectives: (1) providing the "big picture” of faculty development requirements and how to find the resources, guidance and mentorship you need, (2) identifying teaching activities developed from well accepted learning theories that will stimulate thinking and help engage your learner, and (3) describing how “power postures” and other exercises can maximize presentation skills, promote overall wellness and prepare faculty to set boundaries and “say no” when appropriate.. The presenters used pre/post assessments and a goal setting activity to guide participants toward a lifelong learning plan.
