PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSES

Faculty interested in taking a Professional Development Course should complete the Request for Enrollment in a Professional Development Course. Division Chair or Program Director approval must be received before a request can be fulfilled. All courses are conducted online through Canvas, and stipends are awarded for successful course completion as noted below. Each course is expected to take approximately 10 to 15 hours for faculty to complete.

  • JC101: Orientation to teaching 

         JC101 is a fully online orientation session that covers College policies, procedures, and resources available to faculty and students. A hands-on orientation to the Canvas learning management system is also a component to the course. At its core, the course is designed to help faculty be as successful as possible in their first semester at the college. Three weeks are allotted for completing this course. It is offered five times per year, with a stipend presented to new hired adjuncts upon successful completion of the course.

  • JC102: Survey of College Teaching

         JC102 is a fully online professional development session that allows faculty to overview several topics pertinent to education such as collaborative learning, open education resources, student behavioral concerns, and administrative policy. Instructors will also focus more deeply on one of these topics through completion of a course project. The course is offered twice each year in four week sessions, and stipend is awarded upon successful completion. 

  • FCC Faculty Certification Course for Online and Hybrid Teaching
    Online courses require teaching techniques that can differ greatly from traditional classroom instruction. Prior to teaching online or hybrid courses, faculty must complete this course. The program equips full-time and adjunct faculty with the basic skills necessary to create a successful online learning environment for students.

If you wish to take one of the above courses, please complete this Google Form. Once Division Chair approval has been received, further instructions will be emailed to you.
