{"title":"Build Bridges, Not Decks: Using Knowledge Brokerage to Inform Faculty Professional Development","authors":"Emily Faulconer","doi":"10.1002/dch.70005","DOIUrl":"10.1002/dch.70005","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The glow of screens in the classroom is as familiar as the rustle of turning pages in previous decades. But something new has emerged. Generative AI (GenAI) is forcing instructors to reconsider the tried-and-true formats for course materials, engagement activities, and assessments. For administrators, this requires proactive leadership to guide faculty through this significant shift, with particular attention to faculty workload and developing necessary GenAI competencies.</p><p>The inevitable integration of GenAI into the educational landscape compels adaptation. As we revisit core aspects of our teaching practice, light will shine on areas where our expertise does not yet align with the capabilities and implications of this technology. This raises a question for careful consideration: Can traditional professional development frameworks empower us to engage with such a disruptive and transformative force?</p><p>Often faculty professional development is a one-size-fits-all approach, and it's easy to revert to the passive one-direction information flow and subsequent overreliance on slide decks. These development opportunities are frequently led internally, but they fail to effectively leverage internal expertise to its full potential. Just as sustainability education emphasizes the critical role of knowledge brokers in connecting diverse stakeholders and translating complex information into actionable insights, a similar approach holds promise for empowering faculty in the age of GenAI.</p><p>In this context, knowledge brokerage within professional development is a dynamic process of connection, facilitation, and linking. This involves bringing together faculty with diverse experiences and needs related to GenAI, facilitating the sharing of insights and best practices in GenAI use in curriculum design and teaching, and linking individuals with specific resources and expertise (within the institution and beyond) that can address their learning gaps and pedagogical challenges. Grounded in building pathways and relationships, not simply disseminating information, this can bridge the gap between the emerging educational research and practice and connect those facing similar challenges, making the professional development responsive and relevant (see figure 1). Participants should ideally leave the development opportunity with increased confidence, deeper knowledge, an expanded personal learning network, and a foundation for an agile approach to GenAI in teaching and learning.</p><p>These examples show how knowledge brokerage moves beyond workshops and into shared discovery and community-driven solutions to this emerging issue in higher education.</p><p>This collaborative and responsive approach warrants evaluation, with the potential to yield more impactful and relevant professional development opportunities that build community and challenge silos, ultimately increasing the pace of adoption of innovative practices in using GenAI in higher educati","PeriodicalId":101228,"journal":{"name":"The Department Chair","volume":"36 3","pages":"7-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dch.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146139201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kingsborough filed a motion to dismiss.</p><p>The district court judge said that there wasn't any indication of a disability within the meaning of ADA because the allegations contradicted any notion of a major life activity impairment since the plaintiff purportedly taught classes, spoke at colleges all over the country, and drafted both an op-ed article and an unspecified public petition.
