ACC's Guidelines for Professional Development sets out the guidelines for professional development for current/ongoing faculty. Briefly, the following are the guidelines:
Full-time Faculty are required to complete 12 hours of professional development yearly. The 12 hours should be distributed over three categories:
While a total of 12 hours of professional development are required each year, faculty members are encouraged to take additional hours to improve their performance, enhance their ability to perform their job duties, and to support employee satisfaction. However, employees may only roll over into the next academic year a maximum of three hours. Hours rolled into the next year will fall into the same category in which they were originally completed.
Adjunct Faculty: All current/continuing Adjunct Faculty are required to complete four hours of professional development each year. After completion of professional development required by the College for all employees, remaining Professional Development should be selected from activities directly related to supporting best practices in Teaching and Learning.
For more specific information, please refer to Administrative Rule 6.07.002: Faculty Professional Development, available in its entirety here.
