Zusammenfassung:This article stems from a qualitative inquiry research project that examined the significant experiences of adult educators. For this article we explore the experiences of our faculty educator participants working within the community college context and examine the ways in which their practice connects to faculty development literature. Key insights gleaned from this research highlight both challenges and opportunities that college faculty developers face today. Our findings call for community college leaders and teachers to more effectively explore the ways in which personal, professional, and institutional epistemologies interact in order to better support learning.Keywords: faculty development, qualitative inquiry, community college.
