Best Practices for Training & Support
Create a faculty-led handbook
Hold 1:1 training or small workshop training (in person and/or online)
If using a provider, what training do they offer? How can we complement that?
Leverage the experience of other faculty members
Be strategic about the level of support needed (add staff or faculty member?)
Encourage faculty to co-lead a current program if not ready to run on their own
