Three-Pronged Faculty Development

CLIP’s three-pronged approach to faculty development in 2025-26
MICA is known for pushing the boundaries of traditional business education, and workshops are essential for updating content and translating pedagogical innovation into classroom impact. More than just training sessions, these workshops foster a culture of reflective teaching, peer learning, and adaptive experimentation, helping faculty stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving educational landscape.

Domain-Specific Workshops for New Curriculum Content

Faculty workshop with practitioners and functional heads of organizations with 10+ years of industry experience for contemporary use cases, insights, frameworks and tools to take to the classroom. These workshops have seen full participation from respective curriculum teams, reflecting MICA’s commitment to future-ready education.

Pedagogy & AI Workshop

This year, the advent of AI has been playing a crucial role in shaping industry trends in 2025. We designed AI-related workshops to build capacity among faculty to understand its basic terminology, functional capabilities, its applications in the classroom

Classroom Management Workshops

The rise and widespread presence of AI have highlighted the significance of human capabilities, emphasizing the need for educators to guide learning with distinctly human skills such as empathy, build resilience, work on attitudes and mindset shifts. CLIP is also engaged in working with faculty in strengthening classroom dynamics, performance expectations to foster empathetic and active and supportive approaches.
