5. BEST PRACTICES

➢ Cite as many best practices as you can on Parameter E (Faculty Development)

ISU recognizes the necessity to upgrade the faculty‟s competencies and strengthen their skills in
their respective fields of expertise. After all, the faculty is the backbone of any University.
The University is implementing a strong Faculty Development Program consistent with the principle
of verticalized expertise development to assure that subjects taught by faculty members are aligned with their
fields of specialization
Strengthening the University‟s curricular offerings mean continuous upgrading and honing on the
part of the faculty members. Hence, avenues for faculty development were explored: they were encouraged
to participate in seminars and trainings appropriate to their academic assignments conducted locally and
internationally. Through a variety of platforms, they presented their researches, conferred with other
professionals in their field and built linkages.

The University has always supported the continuing development and career advancement of the
faculty by financing their graduate studies to enable them to assume greater responsibilities. From the very
beginning, faculty members were given various forms of support. Some were given university scholarships,
research grants and incentives. Trainings and seminars were also funded by the university.
