The Experience of New Planning Faculty

The new faculty experience in planning is a transition and training period in which the new scholar begins to master the many tasks that are required in academic life. The authors investigated the quality and characteristics of the first two years of the new planning faculty experience through review of existing literature and analysis of original research. The findings indicate that many new professors in planning do not know what to expect and are generally not well prepared to assume their new roles. In particular, many new faculty were not trained in pedagogy or experienced in teaching, and so almost all of their first years are taken up with becoming reasonably proficient in their teaching.
