Professional Development Update: © R. Craig Collins, 2010-20

Hello all, I hope you can all take a moment to read over the following items!
Divisions and Departments, please forward to adjuncts and staff that may not get this email.
Let adjuncts know I have late afternoon and evening hours on Wednesday by appointment!
If all you need is the schedule, Scheduled Workshop information is below

Reminder, if you come by during my open lab times, you still qualify to sign up for the topic we worked on, for professional development!

Goals of Professional Development:
1) to help you deal with the technology used in your job, and in your courses
2) to help you improve your courses, to influence retention and student success, via Instructional Design and the continuous improvement of Course Quality
3) to help you stay current in your subject matter

Many Colleges and Universities include up to 40 hours a year of verified Professional Development as a part of the conditions of employment;
this is not to be a punishment, rather an investment in time that will actually reduce you work load and improve results as you go forward.

I can also help full time staff, full time faculty, and adjunct faculty track outside activities related to Professional Development, especially for faculty evaluation*

Please note, aside from scheduled workshops, I am available for individual consultation for staff, faculty, or departments almost every day.

I have been setting up Professional Development items for folks who ask, but I need a day to get these set up so please let me know before you attend a workshop, please.

If you or your department need Professional Development and can't find workshops or webinars, please let me know and I'll see what I can set up!

* A note on tracking professional development: if you wish to use our optional TConnect method of recording Professional Development credit,
you must let me know before you attend your workshop or conference, so I can set it up.
Then, you must sign up in TConnect before the end of the workshop or conference.
Once I have something to show you actually attended, I process the PD item with an S for satisfactory completion.
If you sign up for something like a Zero Week workshop, but don't actually attend, you get a U for unsatisfactory completion.
Also, just signing in on a sign-in sheet will not get you into the system... I cannot add folks to TConnect rosters,
nor can I add folks after the workshop has ended.
I only use the sign-in sheet only to verify attendance. Further, I do NOT keep sign in sheets after verification in TConnect.
