The Faculty Council plans two initiatives specifically
designed to gather input from faculty.
Student Progress Reporting Survey
From Feb. 1 through Feb. 15, a survey will be made available
for faculty to provide both structured and open-ended input on the issue of
student progress reporting. Details about that evolving conversation can be
found in
this post from Jan. 18. All faculty are invited and encouraged to provide
input. Messages will be sent by each college’s faculty association president,
and academic vice president, when this survey is live. Results gathered from
this survey – which will be completely anonymous – will be analyzed in detail by the Faculty Council in order to craft the best possible student progress reporting system to serve our diverse student population while not imposing excessive and unproductive labor burdens on the faculty. These findings will then be shared with The
Instructional Leadership Team, which includes the district and college instructional leaders, for implementation.
Part 2, Biennial Faculty Climate Survey
From Feb. 19 through March 2, Part 2 of the biennial Faculty
Climate Survey will be administered. Part 1 was administered in Fall 2017, and
a selection of results are available at this
post on the Advance Blog, in which are links to raw data from each of the
seven colleges. Whereas Part 1 of the Faculty Climate Survey gathered faculty input
on issues of compensation and shared governance, Part 2 includes questions that
are designed to gauge faculty attitudes on the overall climate within the
various college chapters of DCCFA, the colleges, and the District. Results
gathered from this survey also will be completely individually anonymous, and
only aggregated results by college will be reported and shared with the college
presidents.
The Faculty Council encourages all members to participate in
both the Student Progress Reporting survey, and the DCCFA Biennial Faculty Climate
Survey.
