March Webinar Series: Policy and Practice

March 8, 2023

Utilizing Centers for Teaching and Learning to Support CEI Professional Development 

Presenters:

Christine Denecker & Teresa Focarile

Webinar Type: Member-Only Webinar

Description: 

The expansion of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships has provided access to college to a wide range of students but has also created a challenge for institutions to support the professional development needs of Concurrent Enrollment Instructors (CEIs). Inherent to student success is the work of these instructors, who range from secondary teachers to college adjuncts and full-time faculty. While NACEP advises that post-secondary institutions rely on Faculty Liaisons (FLs) to train and mentor CEIs, FLs often do not have the time or experience needed to take sole responsibility for CEIs’ on-going professional needs. Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) can fill this professional development gap by providing FLs with training and strategies designed to ensure successful college-level teaching and learning. In this interactive session, participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm ideas for how CTLs and FLs can partner to support CEI professional development. The presenters will also offer specific examples of how their CTLs have provided guidance for course orientation, creation of paired assessments, site visits, and more.
