CPCC Faculty: Get where you want to be in the classroom

Why did you become an instructor? Was it the summers off, the flexible schedule or the free apples? Or was it because you wanted to impact today's youth and contribute to students' personal growth and professional success?

This Spring Semester, CPCC's Professional Development team is offering a series of four, two-hour Outcome Assessment workshops to provide you with the foundational knowledge, understanding and expertise needed to develop meaningful learning outcomes and assessment methods in the classroom that may contribute to your effectiveness as an instructor. They are:

  • Developing Meaningful Learning Outcomes: Laying the Groundwork for Authentic Assessment

  • Assessment for Learning (Part 1): Getting 'Just in Time' Feedback

  • Assessment for Learning (Part 2): Building a Bigger Toolkit, Including Peer and Student Self-Assessment Strategies

  • Rubrics: Guides for Student Learning and Tools for Authentic Assessment

Let our Director of Learning Outcomes Assessment help you better understand the concept of "authentic assessment," analyze your assessment strategies, implement enhanced classroom assessment techniques, develop criteria for student self-assessments and peer assessments, and design and implement rubrics.

To register or to see class descriptions, times and dates, please visit LearnerWeb at http://pd.cpcc.edu. Faculty are welcome to register for any or all of the workshops; completers of all four workshops will receive an "Assessment as Learning" certificate.

Speak out against heart disease - Go Red for Women February 5

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death among American women?

To help build awareness of this fatal disease, CPCC is joining forces with the American Heart Association and bringing Go Red for Women to its six campus locations.

On Friday, February 5, 2010, CPCC employees are encouraged to wear red to work to show their dedication and support of this important cause and then participate in the campus picture taking event at 12:15 p.m.

The College will host an array of events beginning February 5 to help raise awareness of heart disease – a condition that claims the life of one person every minute.

For more information about CPCC’s Go Red for Women campaign, please contact Libby Vagnoni at 704.330.4273.
