Hi I'm Paul and you are watching
Bulldog Bites. I have here with me Joan Rosen whose an instructor in
philosophy and humanities here, at SSC it is a pleasure to have her on the show.
Thank you for having me. So we hear of a brand new initiative that the
Faculty Development Committee is rolling out for the new year if you could you
tell us a little bit about it
and what it all entails? I would love to, we are beginning this spring
our first annual faculty appreciation awards.
And so there are one or many awards that can be awarded to
faculty? Yes there are multiple awards, there are five different awards we will
roll out
the first one is a full-time faculty member award outstanding
full-time faculty member, the second word is outstanding
part-time faculty member, the third award as outstanding
community educator, the fourth award were calling
Steve Springer award and honor technology and a faculty members use of
technology in the classroom,
and I last award is a team award that will be given to
a team at SSC. So how does a particular faculty member
get nominated for one of these awards? Nominations are pretty easy we have
everything set
online so the nominator goes to the SSC portal
and may click on one of the five awards
and that link will bring the nominator to a full description of
the award, as well as the nomination ballot that has specific questions to be
answered.
So the nominator answers the questions and sends it in, and that's it.
So it's a voting process?
That's correct, once all of the wards are, sorry once all of the nominations are
received
we have a judging panel who will read through all of
the ballots and the judging panel is comprised of
three faculty members, two members of the faculty development committee
and two administrators, so they will go through the initial nominations and
narrow them down to a smaller group
and then each of the nominees in the smaller group will be asked to submit
either a video portfolio or an essay
portfolio sort of on their own behalf, and then based on those submissions the
winner is chosen.
in what are you know I should say the prizes that are
the awards are for? Wehave some great prizes that were offering everything
from
a monetary prize
to a great parking spot that the faculty member will have all year
we have a couple of plaques and we have a dinner with the president
and we also have a Technology Package for the winner of that award.
So when will the
awards be given to the winning faculty members?
Right the recepients will receive the awards at the spring tea.
Is there anything else that you would like the audience to know
about the
faculty development committee? I would like to urge our audience to please take a
few moments to recognize
a great colleague of yours, this won't take long the nomination process and so
we're asking
both faculty and administrators and current students to
go on to the portal learn a little bit more about these awards and consider
making a nomination so that we can
recognize the great community we have it SSC. Thank you
we hope everyone does that, thank you Ms. Rosen for being on the show.
and thank you for watching we'll see you next time right here on Bulldog Bites!
