It is not only important to hire well qualified individuals that meet accreditation requirements, but also to help them maintaim their professional development.

I liked the idea of using your LMS to provide notifications to instructors, administrators, and students.  We do this currently as a communication tool, but I would like to find a way of using it to review instructor behaviors and teaching methods in the course as well as how affective the assignments/activities are helping the students to succed in the course.  Has anyone done this or uses something like this at their college/university?

I liked the idea of creating phases to the new faculty orientation and allowing the instructor to start working on their course for the semester to use some of the tools that was just learned.  This will give them time to learn the material and use that material as they prepare their class for the semester.

I have learned that I not only need to look at education regulations and employment laws of my state but also the state of the instructor (if out of state).
