Items   Person   Action  I. Opening  Comments  

from  the  Chair  Kristine  

Oliveira  via  Proxy  

Kristine  Oliveira  sent  a  message  to  the  committee,  welcoming  them  back  and  acknowledging  the  work  the  committee  has  done  over  the  past  two  weeks.    

         II.      Opening  Comments                        from  the  Public  

All   Dr.  Zia  Nisani  forwarded  a  request  from  members  of  his  department  to  streamline  the  contract  entry  system.  He  offered  Modesto  College’s  system  as  an  example  that  the  FPDC  may  want  to  review.    

         III.      Approval  of  Minutes                          for  September  14,                            2016.    

All   Minutes  were  approved  for  the  FPDC  meeting  held  on  September  14,  2016.  

           IV.      Discussion  Item:                        Updates  on  Goals  

All   Issues  Discussed:  1. DHH  (Dr.  Z.  Nisani  &  Dr.  D.  Wiewall)  

a. Zia  and  Darcy  have  discussed  issues  and  have  invited  Deaf  Studies  instructor  Daniel  Humphrey  to  join  the  sub-­‐group.  They  are  looking  at  the  various  laws  and  policies  that  guide  college  practices.    

b. Greg  Krynen  has  training  videos  on  Blackboard  and  Canvas  on  closed  captioning.  Additional  training  options  may  be  available.    

c. Jackie  Lott  noted  that  facilities  and  ITS  need  to  be  involved  to  ensure  the  equipment  in  the  rooms  is  working  properly.  

2. Evaluation  of  FPD  Program  (Dr  R.  Brynin  &  Dr.  B.  Suderman)  

a. Rona  found  a  good  example  of  an  FPD  program  survey  from  Northern  Arizona  University  (attachment).    

b. Bonnie  suggested  involving  the  Institutional  Effectiveness,  Research,  and  Planning  department  to  help  with  an  extensive  survey.    

c. Zia  questioned  whether  the  committee  would  be  able  to  break  the  responses  down  according  to  discipline  or  department;  Mark  noted  this  would  require  the  sign-­‐in  sheets  to  be  changed.    

d. Jackie  reminded  the  committee  to  stay  focused  on  the  committee’s  purpose,  and  Bonnie  emphasized  the  need  for  the  survey  to  be  informational  instead  of  punitive.  Zia  suggested  open-­‐ended  questions  that  faculty  would  have  to  type  in  responses.  

3. Mentorship  Program  (M.  Hoffer  &  Dr.  J.  Cooper)  a. Discussions  have  taken  place  and  Mark  has  looked  

at  the  Dept.  Chair  duties;  however,  the  Dept.  Chair  duties  are  fairly  limited  in  regards  to  mentorship,  and  the  FPDC  is  looking  for  more  interdisciplinary  methods.  

b. The  sub-­‐group  is  looking  for  Patricia  Marquez’s  former  work  on  a  mentorship  program  to  offer  a  different  model.  

c. Kristine  wanted  to  remind  the  committee  that  the  minutes  for  Feb.  24,  2016  reflect  a  previous  discussion  the  committee  had  on  a  mentorship  program.    

4. AVC  Committee  &  Organization  (K.  Oliveira/K.  Mitchell)  

 a. Kristine  has  been  communicating  with  Patty  

McClure.    b. Bonnie  asked  if  the  calendar  would  be  pushed  on  

everyone’s  Google  calendar,  but  Kathryn  believed  this  was  to  be  a  separate  entity  that  employees  could  view  for  informational  purposes.    

 Action  Taken:  None.      Follow  Up  Items:  Each  sub-­‐group  will  continue  to  work  on  the  issues  and  report  back  to  the  committee  at  a  future  date.      

                         Discussion  Item:                              FPD  Sign-­‐in  Sheets  

Kathryn  Mitchell  

Issues  Discussed:  Normally,  Nancy  organizes  the  committee’s  sign-­‐in  sheets,  but  as  she  is  out,  does  anyone  have  any  suggestions  about  how  to  collect  and  keep  our  sign-­‐in  sheets  organized?    ● Jackie  informed  the  committee  that  Nancy  kept  the  sign-­‐

in  sheets  in  large  3-­‐ring  binders,  organized  by  date.  We  could  continue  to  do  this.    

● Zia  suggested  scanning  and  keeping  both  a  digital  PDF  and  paper  copies  so  the  information  would  be  easily  accessible.  

Action  Taken:  Kathryn  will  forward  the  information  to  Kristine.    Follow  Up  Items:  Kathryn  will  find  out  how  long  colleges  are  required  to  keep  the  files.      

                   Discussion  Item:  FPDC                      Calendar  Overview  

Kathryn  Mitchell  

 

Issues  Discussed:  Kristine  reviewed  minutes  from  last  year  to  find  regularly  occurring  events  and  put  it  on  a  calendar  grid.  She  noted  the  overview  is  not  intended  to  be  specific  to  any  particular  year  but  is  to  reflect  normal  decisions  that  need  to  be  made  by  the  committee.  She  asked  for  feedback  from  the  committee.    ● Additional  events  suggested  to  include:    

○ Update  Guidelines  (end  of  spring  semester)  ○ Due  dates  for  contracts  (adjunct  and  full-­‐time)  ○ Chancellor’s  Office  due  date  for  program  

submission  (usually  end  of  May/beginning  of  June)  

 ○ When  to  send  reminder  emails  about  due  dates  

Action  Plan:  Kristine  will  update  the  calendar  overview.    

Follow  Up  Items:    Committee  members  will  forward  any  additional  calendar  items  to  Kristine  if  they  think  of  them.    

                   Discussion  Item:                      Online  Supplemental                        Forms  

Kathryn  Mitchell  

Issue:      Kristine  has  received  faculty  questioning  when  they  are  to  submit  the  completed  Online  Supplemental  Forms  after  attending  online  live  webinars.  Kristine  has  suggested  they  keep  a  file  of  their  forms  and  then  submit  them  when  they  turn  in  their  contracts  (self-­‐reporting  attendance).    ● This  is  what  was  done  previously,  so  the  committee  

agreed  to  continue  the  practice.    ● It  was  asked  if  the  committee  can  make  submission  as  

part  of  the  contract  system.      

Action  Plan:  Greg  is  going  to  ask  if  it  can  be  made  a  part  of  the  contract  system,  possibly  as  an  attachment  to  the  final  submission.    

Follow  Up  Items:    Committee  will  revisit  issue  when  further  information  is  known  from  Greg.    

         V.      Action  Items   All   a. Request  for  FPD  Funding  (Jackie  Lott)  ● Motion  approved,  with  1  abstention    

           VI.  Information  Items   Kathryn

a. Kristine  sent  out  the  Fall  Opening  Day  survey  to  faculty  twice.  It  closes  Oct.  4,  2016.  

b. Kristine  has  training  with  Greg  to  learn  how  to  update  our  FPDC  webpages.    

2. FPDC  Vacancies  a. ASO  Representative:  Kristine  has  spoken  with  Dr.  

Jill  Zimmerman  and  Kimbirly  Dolatowski,  the  ASO  President.  Kimbirly  will  speak  with  the  ASO  to  ask  if  there  are  any  students  willing  to  participate  in  the  committee.  

b. CMS  Representative:  Kristine  is  waiting  to  hear  from  Mina  Hernandez.    

c. Classified  Representative:  Kristine  is  waiting  to  

 hear  from  Pamela  Ford.    

d. Professional  Development  Committee  Faculty  Representatives:  The  faculty  reps  on  the  Professional  Development  Committee  are  Dr.  Irit  Gat  and  Dr.  Susan  Lowry.  Kristine  is  meeting  with  Mark  Bryant  to  discuss  the  contours  of  the  two  committees.    

3. Deaf  and  Hard  of  Hearing  Documents  a. Tamira  in  OSD  provided  the  committee  with  many  

documents  to  help  the  FPDC  understand  the  policy  and  procedures  that  exist  for  ADA,  Ed  code,  and  practices  at  our  school.    

4. Budget  a. Kristine  is  meeting  with  Irit  to  discuss  the  FPDC’s  

budget.    b. Last  year’s  budget  was  spent  on  the  following:    

i. $426  Non-­‐instructional  support  ii. $5,000  Contract/consulting  services  iii. $3,005  Travel  and  conferences  iv. $1,165  Dues  and  membership  (NISOD)  

5. Annual  Committee  Goals  2015-­‐16  a. Jackie  handed  out  copies  of  the  goals  that  the  

FPDC  had  for  last  year  to  remind  the  committee  what  was  accomplished  and  what  still  needed  attention.  

b. Jackie  reminded  the  committee  to  feel  comfortable  in  adding  items  to  the  agenda  and  to  speak  up  on  behalf  of  those  that  they  represent.  She  noted  the  representatives  are  the  voice  for  others.    

c. Kathryn  informed  the  committee  that  one  of  the  goals  of  last  year  was  to  offer  additional  FPD  events  the  week  of  Fall  Opening  Day,  and  it  worked  well.  The  three  events  offered  on  Thursday  were  nicely  attended.  Jeff  commented  that  he  appreciated  the  opportunity  to  complete  FPD  hours  before  the  semester  started.    

NEXT  MEETING  DATE:  October  12,  2016.

Items Person Action I. Opening

Comments from the Chair

Kristine Oliveira via

Proxy

● Kathryn Mitchell noted that the committee did not have quorum, so the meeting will proceed but will not be able to approve minutes.

● Kristine Oliveira sent a message to the committee, welcoming new committee member Kevin Vasquez Cabrera, ASO secretary, and reminding the committee that they need to start thinking about Spring Opening Day.

II. Opening All None.

Comments from the Public III. Approval of Minutes for September 28, 2016.

All Minutes were unable to be approved due to lack of quorum.

IV. Discussion Item: AVC Fall 2016 Opening Day Evaluations

Kathryn Mitchell

Issues Discussed: Kristine noted that the Fall Opening Day evaluations were overall positive, and that faculty want more break-out sessions that are hands-on, especially technology sessions.

● Kristine would like to have the committee review and revise the evaluation format itself. The information is somewhat difficult to discern.

● It was suggested that presenters have a mandatory evaluation sheet that needed to be completed at the end of the presentation (this was done prior to moving evaluations online).

● Another issue was found that many people signed in and out at the beginning of the presentation but then left, not staying for the presentation. Separate sign-in and sign-out sheets were suggested, and the presenters would need to put one out at the beginning and then one out at the end of the event.

Action Plan: Committee is going to review and revise the evaluation questions. Follow-Up Items: Committee will discuss possible questions and format at a future meeting.

V. Discussion Item: Updates on Goals

All Issues Discussed: 1. DHH (Dr. Z. Nisani & Dr. D. Wiewall)

a. Zia and Darcy are still trying to find time to meet with Deaf Studies instructor Daniel Humphrey.

b. One idea is to include a new page to the FPD website, “Presenters 101.” All presenters must read and learn the requirements of being a presenter before their event.

c. Other ideas are to have an FAQ page for presenters and a section in the handbook that include the responsibilities of the attendees.

2. Evaluation of FPD Program (Dr R. Brynin & Dr. B. Suderman)

a. Rona asked the committee where it wanted to go from the handout she brought in the last

meeting.

3. Mentorship Program (M. Hoffer & Dr. J. Cooper) a. The sub-group has looked at different college

websites, and the committee was given a handout relating COC’s mentorship FPD programs from Kristine prior to the meeting.

b. Discussion followed regarding FPD credit for instances of new full-time faculty and how many hours mentors would be able to claim during a 4-year tenure evaluation cycle. It was decided that the first year would require the most time, and then subsequent years would be allowed fewer hours.

c. Issues to think about: Funding and support of college to develop program (COC is invested in their FPD program differently than AVC); Is the FPD supposed to run the program? Is it under the purview of the FPDC duties? Stipend would need to be negotiated.

4. AVC Committee & Organization Meetings At-a-Glance(K. Oliveira/K. Mitchell)

a. Kristine does not have anything new to report at this time.

Action Taken: None. Follow Up Items: Each sub-group will continue to work on the issues and report back to the committee at a future date.

Discussion Item: Glitch with Self-Reporting

Kathryn Mitchell

Issues Discussed: Kristine received an email from a faculty member who has reported trouble with the self-reporting aspect of the contract system. Kristine asked committee if they have heard similar complaints.

● Two other FPDC members have heard of similar issues with the system where the submitted contracts disappear.

● Rona had trouble herself, but she said that she found if she clicked “save” first, before “submit,” it worked.

Action Taken: Kathryn will forward the information to Kristine. Follow Up Items: None at this time.

V. Action Items All None.

VI. Information Items Kathryn

Mitchell 1. ASO Representative

a. New student representative Kevin Vazquez Cabrera has been added to the FPDC.

2. Outcomes Committee Training Dates a. The Outcomes Committee has held three

trainings this semester and does not plan on having any more training events this semester.

b. Kathryn noted the committee is under an umbrella, therefore all training events are Standard 1 and allowed, regardless of when scheduled.

3. FPD Events Relocated a. Due to accommodations for a polling station,

two FPD events have been displaced: “All Important Syllabus” and “Women of the City.”

b. Both presentations have been moved to LH 100.

c. Kristine will ask Greg Krynen to change the location on the FPD Calendar.

4. SPD and FPD a. Kristine met with Mark Bryant and found that

Staff Development aligns with Administrative Policy, open to anyone on campus.

b. Cap is $1,500 per person, until gone. (First come, first serve; no priority given to any group of employees.)

c. Money is for trainings, workshops, and conferences.

d. The SPD meets once a month to review applications, or as needed.

5. Charles Hood Request for FPD Funds a. Request is for $200 for a speaker fee. b. Speaker is scheduled for the March 2017 FPD

event “Do Maps Matter? The Fate of the Map in the Age of Siri and GPS.”

6. Senate Report on Oct. 6, 2016 a. Kristine reported to the Senate, detailing the

FPDC goals. The Senate was supportive of the committee’s goals for the year.

7. Captioning Handout (attachment) 8. Pepnet 2

a. Dean Duane Rumsey informed us that there is a website on classes that are available through CSUN and the National Center on Deafness. Free workshops are offered to help greater accessibility for the DHH members of the college.

NEXT MEETING DATE: October 26, 2016.

1. NAU NORTHERN ARIZON UNIVERSITY 2. Faculty Development 3. Program Assessment

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF FACULTY LEARNING FROM AND WITH COLLEAGUES?

An assessment of the Faculty Professional Development Program, 2010-2011

The Faculty Professional Development Program (FPDP) seeks to frame a campus “teaching commons,” what the Carnegie

Foundation describes as a “conceptual space in which communities of educators committed to innovation & inquiry come

together to exchange ideas about teaching & learning, and use them to meet the challenges of educating students for personal,

professional, and civic life.” Through our events, resources, and programs we aim to enable faculty to build relationships with

others in the university community and discover new methods to strengthen professional and teaching capabilities.

The mission of the NAU Faculty Professional Development Program is to:

• offer opportunities for professional development in teaching to enrich success in student learning

• play a key role in strengthening a learning-centered campus culture leading to student success

• advance new teaching and learning initiatives that impact student success

• foster collegial dialogue within and among faculty and campus partners about effective teaching

• serve as a convener to showcase faculty expertise in teaching.

We support departmental, school, and college initiatives and seek to provide pathways for the NAU learning-centered priority

and strategic goals through alignment of initiatives.

Methods

The professional literature suggests five levels of evaluation for faculty development programs. FPDP resource session

participation was tracked through registration and attendance. Following the sessions participants were provided with a link to

anonymous online evaluations with six Likert-scale items and three open-ended questions. A brief year-end survey was also sent

to all participants in the 2010-11 resource sessions to further assess the systemic impact of the year’s programs.

Conclusions & Implications

Total attendance at 2010-11 resource sessions exceeded 731. By analyzing the unduplicated numbers (328), we learned how to

strengthen the offerings in 2011-12. Implications of the assessment efforts: faculty feedback was used to identify this year’s

session topics and an advisory committee and coordinating council met regularly to review findings and discuss implications.

Level 1: Participation

Who attended and why?

Faculty Professional Development Program Event Participation by College/Area 2010-2011

SBS 18% CEFNS 16% Other departments 13% CAL 12% COE 8% HHS 8% Student Affairs 8% FCB 7% Center Int'l Ed. 6% Cline Library 4%

Faculty Professional Development Program Event Participation by Academic Title 2010-2011

Support Staff 48 Assistant Professor 43 Professor 38 Associate Professor 36 Lecturer, Sr. Lecturer 30 Instructor 26 Student 26 Other Administrators 23 Dean/Director 19 Off-campus 16 Part-time Faculty 13 Librarian 10

What prompted you to attend this event? • “I like to make sure any assignments I give are pertinent and will help the students absorb and put into practice the

class discussions.”

• “I have a need for constant professional growth and revitalization.”

• “I aim to be the best 'teacher' I possibly can – and past sessions have always provided new tools for me to work with.”

• “This is my first time teaching and one of my mentors ... thought that it would be a helpful discussion for me. I definitely agree and am very glad that I attended."

• “I actually attended to meet people from other departments, but I also learned much.”

• “I want more student engagement and discussion in my large lecture class.”

Level 2: Satisfaction

Did participants find the session useful?

Aggregate Evaluation Data over sixteen workshops and roundtables 2010-2011

Question Strongly Agree Agree Disagree Strongly

Disagree The session addressed some of my teaching and instruction needs. 36% 53% 9% 2%

The topics addressed during the session were clearly presented. 74% 24% 2% 0%

The topics addressed during the session will be useful to me in my work. 58% 40% 1% 1%

The level of interaction between presenters and participants was valuable. 61% 36% 3% 0%

Yes No

Would you recommend this session to another faculty member? 92% 8%

Representative comments:

• “I've saved the handouts, and I'm going to use all the ideas I can.”

• “This is my first time teaching and I found the material, discussion, and ideas presented very helpful. ”

• “I love that everything … is backed up by current research – and that multiple views are offered.”

• "I got four or five ideas that I have already started to use.”

Level 3: Learning

What was gained? (i.e. attitudes, beliefs, skills)

What new attitudes, beliefs, or skills did you learn? (Rona’s suggestion)

• “I am consciously more aware of the words that I choose to use & how they can either facilitate or impede a conversation. ”

• “Helped me identify fellow faculty members who are potential resources for the courses I teach. I'm still thinking about the session, which indicates that it resonated within me.”

• “It gave me some new perspectives that I will try with my …students.”

Level 4: Application

How will material be applied to participant’s work?

How will you apply what you learned to your teaching? (Rona’s suggestion)

Representative comments:

• “I plan to implement some of the techniques I learned in this session to improve (class) discussions.”

• "I plan to engage with the class differently – particularly in the first 2 weeks!”

• “I really came away with a lot of ideas to enhance classes. So much of it made sense and it will be easy to implement little pieces to start with and grow from there.”

• “I will refer to the materials provided in the sessions to evaluate my current work and as I plan for the next semester.”

• "I picked up a few techniques that I think I can use in class.

• “Will use daily in classes.”

Level 5: Systematic impact

What evidence is there that participation in the FDP leads to identifiable outcomes?

• 73% talked with colleagues about something that came up at the session/s.

• 67% directly applied something from one or more sessions to their teaching.

• 49% saw a positive impact on students related to something they adopted/adapted following the session/s.

• 32% directly applied something from one or more sessions to their scholarly work.

“The Faculty Professional Development Program is invaluable in helping NAU to achieve its mission. Students appreciate that

faculty have an opportunity to improve their teaching skills. NAU's reputation benefits when faculty have an opportunity to learn

skills and techniques that improve their scholarly work. Faculty benefit from all of the above and also from having the

opportunity to engage with colleagues from other departments."

7 November 2016 Matthew Jaffe 6:23 AM (3 hours ago) Hi, Kristine, I have received your e-mail and I am very upset about it. . . . The flex that I know generated this on the Kennedy Assassination was moved three times. My dvds would have played fine had we been left in the original room. But we were moved twice more. There is a big difference between the crappy college equipment not working and my being prejudiced against deaf people. My grandmother was deaf. One of my first cousins is deaf. We tried for a half an hour to get the dvds to play properly. The closed caption does not always work on youtube. . . . I have decided that I shall no longer give any Flex talks on any subject alone or with anybody else. That way, I cannot be blamed for the close captioning not working. . . . .

Kristine Oliveira <koliveira@avc.edu> 9:42 AM (1 minute ago) Hi Matthew-- I am absolutely NOT blaming anyone with my email. My email was intended to educate faculty on accessibility and the law, not to out anyone as insensitive to the needs of our colleagues. The unreliability of the equipment is a major problem, and the changes in rooms makes the preparation all the more difficult. I would be derelict in my duties as the co-chair if I did not take the opportunity to help all faculty to understand how to make their video accessible for all. I know that you are an incredibly capable presenter and a beloved member of the faculty. Your contribution to Faculty Professional Development over the years has helped many of us--both as presenters and as participants--to grow in our knowledge and craft. Please know that FPDC is filled with people who deeply respect the investment that our colleagues make to our collective professional development. If you are available this week, I'd like to sit down with you to discuss your thoughts. I have Thursday after 12:30p available. We could invite Pavinee and John, too. In the mean time, I'll bring your concerns back to the committee on Wednesday so that we can discuss the difficulties when rooms are changed and equipment is unreliable. --Kristine

The DISC assessment is to be taken online prior to the workshop and will provide a thorough description of each individual's communication style. The facilitator will help guide attendees to understand the DISC model and assist participants in developing strategies to effectively engage and influence others. This session will be lively, educational and fun. Print and bring assessment results to workshop.

A. Information Technology Update Rick Shaw, SSV-151 Over the past year, AVC has seen several changes online, including a new website and a revised myAVC.

Question 1:

What is the deadline to submit a Sabbatical Leave request for spring 2018?

Question 2:

I found nothing in the Senate or FPD handbooks that address the presentation usually given by the Scholar inResidence, but I would like to do one. My tentative topic will be "Teaching with Compassion: From the CollegeCampus to the Prison Campus," and I would like to give it in the Spring of 2017. Are there any criteria for it? Can people be offered FPD credit for attending? When / how shall I schedule it?

Thank you!

1. Fall Opening Day evaluations: a. Evaluations were overall positive, and faculty noted that they would like to have more hands-on

workshops with technology

2. Spring Opening Day: a. The committee will start its discussion of the Spring Opening Day this month

3. Subgroup Reports:

a. Deaf and Hard of Hearing: (Dr Nisani and Dr Wiewall) i. Thank you to Tamira Palmetto Despain and the OSD for their continued support in our effort

to develop quality policies and practices in our Faculty Professional Development program ii. Dr Nisani and Dr Wiewall are leading the project for educating both faculty presenters and

attendees in requirements and responsibilities

b. Evaluation of the FPD Program: (Dr Suderman and Dr Brynin) i. Dr Brynin and Dr Suderman have been making headway in developing a more thorough and

useful evaluation strategy for our program, using the University of Northern Arizona as a resource in guiding the committee’s discussion.

ii. We are looking forward to our next meeting where we will be delving more deeply into determining what it is that we are seeking to measure and how we could put the findings to use.

c. Mentorship Program: (Prof Hoffer and Dr Cooper)

i. The subgroup has been comparing Mentorship programs at different colleges. ii. What is clear is that Mentorships across the spectrum have support from their colleges and that

they support the health of their academic communities. iii. While we are still in the discussion phase, the conversation is beginning to focus on two

structures: Tenure-process Mentorship model, as well as a Full-time – Part-time Mentorship model.

iv. In preparation for my presentation today, Dr Gat suggested that we connect with DETC since they are also working on a mentorship/training program.
