NEW FACULTY TRAINING: YOU SPOKE, WE ACTED

NEW FACULTY TRAINING: YOU SPOKE, WE ACTED

New faculty: Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your honest and passionate response to our questions regarding the NEW Faculty Training courses. For all new, probationary faculty taking the Teacher Development Course, you will see a change in your SWF.  Previously, the hours given by management on your SWF for these courses was 3 hours.  Through work by your Union, as well management agreement, at Workload Management Group, we have come to an agreement that all new faculty need more hours attributed on the SWF.  Your Union reps see the benefit of these courses, but felt the hours needed to be improved because the courses require much more than 3 hours per week.  Your survey responses helped in the discussion in changing the hours from 3 to 4 hours a week.
