Their willingness to share new ideas, techniques and innovations is much appreciated by all faculty. Special thanks also goes out to faculty leaders and the Continuing Education Faculty Development Committee who promoted, reviewed, and edited workshops to be included in this document. iii http://www.sac.edu/ContinuingEducation/faculty_Staff/Fd/Pages/default.aspx INTRODUCTION Santa Ana College School of Continuing Education and Santiago Canyon College Continuing Education are committed to the continued development of well-trained instructors to deliver quality instruction to their students in Santa Ana, Orange and surrounding areas. The joint faculty development committee has developed this booklet in order to guide instructors to activities that can provide training. Completing flex responsibilities is a faculty obligation for all* instructors employed by the district who are not already working when flex week begins. GUIDELINES AND INSTRUCTOR OBLIGATIONS Instructors of Rancho Santiago Community College District are required to participate in faculty development activities. The types of activities and the number of hours required depend on the individual instructor’s assignment. Instructors should complete a Faculty Development Agreement Form and turn it into the faculty development office or register online. Any activities not listed in this booklet or online must be approved by the instructor’s administrative dean. The workshops and other activities listed in the booklet are subject to change. Instructors will receive periodic updates. If an activity is cancelled or a workshop is filled, it is the responsibility of the instructor to choose other appropriate activities and receive administrator approval if necessary. The faculty development office will do its best to provide flex activities during the semester for those who do not complete flex during flex week; however, most of these activities will be online or on Friday afternoons. It is also the instructors’ obligation to complete an evaluation of each workshop and any other paperwork specified by their department. Calculating Your Flex Assignment: For Fall Flex, faculty are to complete 1.5 hours times their fall weekly assignment. Therefore if an instructor has a 12-hour assignment, he or she must do 18 hours of flex. Flex must be completed no later than December 1 of any given fall semester. *Exemption: A few teachers are exempt from doing flex. Since flex is calculated as “in lieu of” instruction for the first week of the semester, instructors who are already teaching during flex week, do not do flex unless they are released per their administrator. Also, instructors who receive their assignments after the first week of flex do not have an obligation because they did not have an assignment during the week for which the state reimburses teachers. For questions related to your contract, see your department chairs/coordinators or e-mail Rob Jenkins ([email protected]) or Maureen Saunders ([email protected]). iv http://www.sac.edu/ContinuingEducation/faculty_Staff/Fd/Pages/default.aspx THE CONTINUING EDUCATION FLEX ONLINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CEFOMS) CEFOMS is a new online system designed for our program that allows faculty to propose workshops, register for workshops and other faculty development activities, and monitor their personal flex obligations. The program exists within the DATATEL management system and is accessible through the faculty tab of WebAdvisor. Participants who wish to attend RSCCD workshops but are not RSCCD noncredit faculty may contact the faculty development office for information and register for activities. RSCCD non-credit instructors will receive an agreement form to submit every semester after teaching assignments have been posted. PERSONAL FLEX ACTIVITIES Faculty may request personal flex activities. These activities should not be things you do in preparation for your class like lesson planning. They must be professional development focused as interpreted by your dean or coordinator. You must request these activities through CEFOMS and where the dean approves or denies. After you have completed the activity, the dean or coordinator verifies it and CEFOMS is automatically updated. ***IMPORANT NEW POLICY Because of the nature of the online program, faculty will no longer be able to attend workshops for partial credit meaning leaving early or coming late. They will not be able to take workshops that are at the same time or where times overlap. As in previous semesters, all attendees must sign in to get credit for all activities.

As we grapple with addressing diversity and equity in education we must understand our students’ cultures and their sociocultural experiences. Given the implications associated with education, it is critical that as educators we are aware of how our cultural values, attitudes and beliefs impact the learning environment. Engaging in respectful and caring dialogues about cultural issues allows us to foster an environment that is responsive to the needs of our multi-ethnic student population.
