Abstract
Honors leaders should consider faculty development partnerships as outlets for not only communicating instructional opportunities to a wider audience but also broadening teaching opportunities for faculty in departments that are not always represented and for faculty in non-tenure-track as well as tenure-track lines. An ongoing partnership with a faculty development group can also help honors leaders stay aware of teaching with new technologies, manage emergent trends in the classroom such as the use of artificial intelligence, contribute to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and provide an outlet for reflection about honors instruction. The CTE-Honors partnership at the University of Florida provides support for early-career and instructional faculty. This collaborative endeavor creates space for pedagogical experimentation that would otherwise be inaccessible, providing unique and transformative teaching and learning opportunities for members of the UF community. Workshops such as Exploring Opportunities to Teach with UF Honors offer non-honors faculty and staff the connections and knowledge to take advantage of the opportunities that the honors program offers. We hope that honors programs and colleges at other institutions may find the University of Florida model helpful for opening the doors for new partnerships and developing a framework for establishing a relationship with their institutional centers for teaching excellence.
