The purpose of the Reich College of Education Developmental Community program is to support faculty at all career levels so that they establish and maintain healthy, productive, and meaningful careers.
The Developmental Community Model is our overall approach to faculty support. Within this model or framework, faculty members are encouraged to find mentors and professional learning communities that help them grow in their work.
Developmental Community Model
The Developmental Community Model includes aspects of mentoring and is intended to benefit not only individuals within the community but also the organization as a community.
