TEACHING, RESEARCH, AND
SCHOLARSHIP

August, 2007
Dear Colleague:
This resource guide is intended to assist you in your transition to William
Paterson University, whether new to teaching, new to William Paterson, or both.
As a new faculty member, at times during this year, and perhaps until you
achieve tenure, you may feel overloaded and uninformed, as you strive to excel
in your teaching and your professional pursuits, and to maintain balance in your
personal life.
While we are unable to ensure your success in all areas, we think we can help
you get grounded and navigate academia in the context of William Paterson.
This short guide contains information on the kinds of support available to you in
your primary work roles of teaching, research and scholarship, and service.
Much of the information contained here may be found in other university
publications, including The Faculty and Professional Staff Handbook,
departmental brochures, University catalogs and handbooks, internal
memoranda and pamphlets, and by-laws, and on our website via s-drive.
What follows is a very brief description of programs, resources, and services that
we hope will increase your ability to “connect” with the University in order to
thrive and lower your anxieties about a successful academic career at William
Paterson University.
Happy Navigating. Call should you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Nina J. Jemmott

Career Development Program
The Career Development Program is designed to assist faculty and professional
staff in professional development activities, including teaching and work
improvement, research, and travel. Career Development proposals are reviewed
annually by a faculty committee elected by the faculty of each of the colleges,
the Cheng Library, and the professional staff unit. Faculty are reimbursed for
expenses incurred in the conduct of teaching and work improvement, research
and travel related to current research and scholarship, including presentations at
conferences and professional meetings during each current academic year.
Specific language regarding the Career Development Program is contained in
the faculty collective bargaining contract. Proposals for reimbursement of related
expenses are submitted annually based on negotiated contract language (see
the Faculty Handbook for calendar), generally in March of each academic year.
Awards are usually made based on a formula and announced in late April. The
program ends by June 30 of each academic year.

Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE)
The William Paterson University Center for Teaching Excellence provides
support for teaching and instructional improvement to faculty, staff, and students.
Its primary goals are 1) to improve student learning, 2) to facilitate the efforts of
faculty to improve instruction, 3) to serve as a resource for anyone interested in
teaching and learning, and 4) to enhance the institution’s reputation for
excellence in teaching.
The CTE provides continuous opportunities in actual space and cyberspace, for
all of us to keep asking and answering three crucial questions;
1. What do we expect our students to be able to do intellectually, physically, or
emotionally as a result of our instruction?
2. How can we best help and encourage students to develop these abilities?
3. How can we have substantial and sustained influence on the ways students
think and act?
Offerings of the CTE can be viewed on the Center’s Website. They include, for
instance, a Master Learner Program, Peer Coaching, Mid-course Adjustments,
Teaching Circles, Videotaping, and Grants for Innovative Teaching.
Any faculty member’s dealings with the Center for Teaching Excellence will be
strictly confidential. No record will be kept of any transaction; no possibility will
exist of anyone learning that any faculty member has even consulted the CTE.
Any videotape of any class or portion thereof will be handed directly to the
instructor by the camera operator. The instructor will do with it as he or she sees
fit and can erase the tape immediately upon viewing. Any information about any
single class elicited by one of the services we provide will be shared only with the
instructor and no one else.

appropriate dean when a problem arises concerning a specific classroom activity
or course requirement. At the beginning of each semester, the student should
contact the Coordinator of Disability Services to notify the student's instructors of
the accommodations to be provided to a student with a disability. This
cooperation enhances the probability of the student's success in a course. All
offices, departments, programs and personnel of the University cooperate in
