Professional Development Activities
The Center for Teaching Effectiveness encourages faculty to pursue all types of professional development opportunities that will enrich them personally and professionally.
In addition, the Professional Development Committee develops programs and activities for faculty, which lead to professional growth and career enhancement. It addresses such issues as renewal, incentives for research and new projects, orientation and mentoring, evaluation and professional growth programs. It serves in an advisory capacity to the Center for Teaching Effectiveness. Committee recommendations are submitted to the Vice President for Learning and Student Services.
The Professional Development Committee is responsible for the planning of the All Campus In-Service each February, inviting nationally recognized keynote speakers and facilitating breakout sessions by faculty, classified staff, administrators, students, and community members.
