What New Faculty Members Need to Know
|
|
Complimentary Webinar
|
|
|
New faculty members often feel torn between the excitement of landing a new job—for many, perhaps, their first real job—and the anxiety that inevitably comes with any new stage of life. They may be unfamiliar with the culture and with the people around them, as well as unsure of what exactly is expected of them. They may also be quite new to the profession and surprised to find that being a full-time faculty member is quite different from being a graduate student.
This 90-minute webinar is designed specifically for new, full-time faculty members. Its purpose is to introduce them to the profession of college teaching, to allay many of their fears and concerns, to help them get started on the right foot, and to help prepare them for what is to come, professionally. It is led by a 26-year classroom veteran who has also served as a department chair and an academic dean and who has written and spoken extensively on the topic of academic careers.

YouTube And Wikipedia: Education Game-Changers
|
|
Complimentary Webinar
|
|
|
Do you remember the first time you ever saw a video on a computer? Was it in the 90's? What about an encyclopedia in digital format? Microsoft Encarta perhaps? Yet in just a decade for Wikipedia, and half that for YouTube, these two sites are together amassing and disseminating an astonishing wealth of information at an unprecedented rate.
In this engaging conversation and demonstration, D.I. von Briesen will address the good, the bad, and the ugly of these two important tools from an educational perspective. He'll address common misconceptions relating to how educators should embrace the technology tools their students embraced years ago. Participants will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these platforms and learn how to tie these tools into their teaching and learning. Join us to learn how to separate what matters from what doesn't and to discover how these tools can be incorporated into effective learning resources.

Community colleges are being challenged to play a key role in the national effort to double the number of college graduates in the next 10 years. The first year, indeed the first few weeks of the beginning semester of college, is a pivotal point in students’ academic careers. Students whose first experiences are positive are more likely to persist toward their goals, whether that is a certificate, an associate degree, or transferring to a four-year institution.
This complimentary webinar will share some of the findings and recommendations from the monograph and set the stage for an on-going webinar series from Innovative Educators that will focus on increasing learning, engagement and success for the increasing numbers of Community College students.

UCount!: A Health & Wellness Program Focused on Valuing the Whole Employee, Not Just Their Job Description
|
|
Complimentary Webinar
|
|
|
A recent employee climate survey revealed that while employees valued the contributions they made to the institution and students, they did not believe the institutional leadership valued their contributions. Three years without raises, increased workloads due to unfilled positions and additional contributions to benefit packages are certainly reasons for the low morale. While most supervisors can’t control these necessary management decisions, they can control a healthy and productive workplace environment. In response to the climate survey, two complementary health, wellness and professional development programs were designed and developed at our institution.
