Yep, it can definitely seem that way. We work with our faculty to "plan" their development, and what happens? Conferences get cancelled, trainers don't deliver what they claimed...and so on. How can we optimize training plans for faculty if there isn't anything we can count on!? Here's how...
Quick tips: Meet your faculty where they are. Recognize that everyone is different and so are their needs. In fact, individual needs can change daily...know that and embrace it. Look for key elements of strong, solid teaching in every teacher observation. Identify core skills that you want all faculty to have, and find training to build those skills.
Start looking at your institutional mission and vision; do your faculty teach within your mission and vision? It's a great place to start. Development and training should be inspirational!
