Faculty success in getting tenure largely depends upon a handful of controllable eventualities. Data show that new tenure-track faculty members-even at primarily research institutions-typically spend 75% of their time developing and teaching courses during the first year, and this number does not go down much in year two. Developing reasonable teaching goals and a plan to achieve them is essential if you are going to free up time for the research and scholarship upon which your tenure will be based. ITLAL exists to provide ideas and services that increase your effectiveness and efficiency as an instructor. ITLAL also works with other entities on campus to provide ideas on other areas of concern: time management; writer's block; finding grants; and navigating the political whitewater of your department, to name just a few.
