Faculty Development: Meeting the Needs of Postsecondary Educators of Deaf Students

General characteristics of effective faculty development programs for postsecondary educators in institutions serving deaf students are discussed. The authors review the literature in search of successful strategies for meeting the guidelines for faculty development recommended by the Conference of Educational Administrators Serving the Deaf in 1973 for establishing and operating postsecondary programs for deaf students. Effective approaches used at the authors' institution, including mentoring, consultation, networking and workshops, are presented.
