Faculty Development

Faculty Development supports the mission of Calhoun Community College by providing relevant professional development and faculty support to promote excellence in teaching and learning. The office fulfills this mission through:
  • Providing newly hired tenure-track faculty with a solid base and introduction to the college through the on-boarding program,
  • Providing professional development opportunities to all faculty – full and part-time,
  • Providing in-house training and resources to support faculty in the classroom to increase student retention and success.
Faculty are encouraged to check the Canvas community often for updates, professional development opportunities (internal and external), instructional best practices, faculty resources and support services for students. Professional development offerings will be planned a year in advance. A new catalog of offerings will be shared each semester. The Faculty Development Advisory Committee provides suggestions on professional development needs for faculty.

Professional Development Hours:

  • Can be acquired both internally and from external sources. The goal is for each faculty member to achieve 12 professional development hours annually.
  • Are each equal to 60 minutes.
  • Credit for internal activities will be granted through registration and attendance at events. Register for an activity or workshop, by selecting the title (highlighted in blue) in either the catalog or calendar.
  • Submit verification of external professional development hours; documentation is required to support external PD hours. This documentation could include completion certificates, conference programs, etc.
