Abstract
Key goals and objectives of the DCAE revolve around the provision of opportunities for the faculty to work individually and collectively to: * Examine some of the critical challenges of teaching and learning in the twenty-first century * Expand and maintain the creation and development of knowledge * Translate and transmit that knowledge to students in increasingly effective ways * Recognize and respond to the impact on faculty and student interactions brought about by the increasing use of technology in the classroom * Assist faculty in accommodating and productively responding to career paths and career life cycles during a period of rapid change, shifting expectations and sometimes-conflicting demands Redefinition of Changing Expectations As a center, the DCAE needs to deliver its services within a context of greater variability in faculty categories, roles and rewards. In the first year of operation, the DCAE offered an intense two-day introduction to the structure and culture of the university to new full-time faculty, which was the followed by a yearlong series of workshops on issues like grading, dealing with students with alternative needs, and balancing conflicting demands for teaching, research, and service.
