Curriculum renewal towards critically conscious graduates: Implications for faculty development.

Faculty development can make a significant contribution to enabling change, including in the context of curriculum renewal that often extends the roles and responsibilities of HP educators. When renewal seeks to shift fundamental curriculum principles, providing support to embrace this expanded remit results in an equally expanded remit for faculty developers-one that calls for initiatives that enable critical, dialogic encounters that might foster critical consciousness, leading to change in HP education. This challenges us, as faculty developers, to turn the mirror on ourselves to consider the nature of such expanded support.
