Education Master Plan

Faculty Development Fund

 

Senate has approved Faculty Development Guidelines, they are specified on the application. Funding is primarily used for faculty to attend conferences and workshops to directly address classroom instruction or enhance abilities as an educator or to promote Program Learning Outcomes. Funding is not for additional certifications necessary for the workforce, license renewal, administrative duties, or education that would move an employee up the pay scale or for conditions of employment. Please contact the Faculty Development Committee Chair or Administrative Support with questions. See the Faculty Development Committee Membership page for membership details: https://internal.redwoods.edu/Senate/#Faculty%20Development

FLEX

The purpose of the flexible calendar program is to provide time for faculty to participate in development activities that are related to “staff, student, and instructional improvement” (title 5, section 55720). The flexible calendar program is a component of the staff development program and the major vehicle for faculty participation in development activities. The flexible calendar program allows faculty (full-time, part-time, instructional and non-instructional) the time to work individually or with groups to achieve improvement in three distinct areas: staff improvement, student improvement, and instructional improvement.

Faculty Handbook

Keep Teaching

Banner saying "Keep Teaching Online Support

Welcome to Keep Teaching

CR Keep Teaching is a Canvas site that began in March 2020 to help all faculty transition their classes to emergency remote delivery due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. When we learned we'd be running our classes almost exclusively online for the Fall semester, we decided to leverage this existing site to support faculty in getting certified to teach online, as well as building and running high quality online classes. We're using Canvas to leverage our knowledge and creativity and share resources with each other.

Keep Teaching is a hub for professional development and support for our amazing college community. We're glad you're here.
