GA16: Project ACC Info Session
Hours: 0.75
Come join us to learn about a new opportunity for adjunct and full time faculty members to take a leadership role in a college-wide initiative.
Project Active and Collaborative Communities (Project ACC) is designed to increase faculty awareness and implementation of engaged learning practices (for example active and collaborative activities, group projects, class discussions, impromptu reflective writing, internships, and service learning). We will achieve this over a several year period where successive cadres of Faculty Fellows take on leadership roles at the college and support their colleagues in future cadres.
Each group of Faculty Fellows will serve for four semesters to research best practices, apply them in their classrooms, then lead other faculty members at a three-day Project ACC Institute. After hosting an Institute, Fellows will serve as mentors to support Institute Attendees and the next round of Faculty Fellows. Throughout their tenure, Fellows will be sharing what they have learned about engaged teaching techniques that are effective for their specific Area of Study (AoS).
The goal is to promote faculty leadership focused on improving student learning and student success. In addition, materials created for Project ACC Institutes will be added to a repository to allow for a comprehensive faculty orientation program and ongoing faculty development opportunities.
Project ACC Faculty Fellows will:
- be selected from both full-time and adjunct faculty applicants
- serve from Fall 2016 through Fall 2017 with various roles each semester as explained below
- receive stipends and/or course release for their efforts paid semester by semester as various phases are completed
- Report to the Assistant Dean of Faculty Development and the Manager of Faculty Development
Selection and Compensation:
- To be selected for this position, must be a current ACC full-time or adjunct instructional faculty member.
- $1000 stipend for Fall of 2016
- 3LEH course release (for Full-Time Faculty) or up to $4,000 stipend (for Adjunct Faculty) for Spring 2017
- $1000 stipend for Summer of 2017
- $500 stipend for Fall 2017
