LCC Faculty and Faculty and Staff Development Plan

Fall 2011 – Spring 2013

Mission and Values

The Faculty and Staff Development Committee members believe that the educational environment for all students is enriched when
the college invests in the professional skills, academic knowledge, technological competency and cultural proficiency of its
employees. Thus, provision for continued faculty and staff development opportunities for Lassen College employees is essential for
college success.

Operational Principles

The following principles provide a framework for faculty and staff development and serve as criteria for making decisions on faculty
and staff development activities. In general, those principles foster faculty and staff development as the college’s efforts to support
college values by providing resources to build the ability of staff to meet the goals of the college and create a collaborative working
relationship among employees.

Faculty and Staff Development is defined as an activity that has as its goals the development of skills, competencies and personal
qualities that will provide the potential for better performance and satisfaction on the job. To that end, the LCC Faculty and Staff
Development Committee plans, coordinates, and provides financial support for a variety of activities that engage faculty, staff, and
administrators in an active and creative intellectual life.

We group our principles under these headings:

1. Contribution to Employee Collaboration:

Faculty and staff development activities serve as a vehicle for enhancing employee interactions, building a cooperative
environment that accepts ideas and suggestions from individuals across the campus and fosters a healthy working relationship
among employees.

2. Contribution to Student Success:

Faculty and staff development activities must have either a direct or an indirect student benefit. These benefits to students
should increase their success as measured by agreed-upon learning outcomes at the institutional, program and course levels.

Benefits to students may accrue through:

• improvement of the service a staff member provides
• enhancement of a specific course or program of instruction or student service
• enhancement of cultural proficiency of the staff member
• improvement of leadership skills
• enhancement of knowledge of shared governance, collaboration, and relationship building
• improvement of technological skills

3. Meeting Needs
Faculty and staff development activities include those that meet the needs of LCC employees as expressed in needs assessment
surveys, workshop evaluation forms, and internal documents such as program reviews, accreditation self-study reports, district
and college plans, shared governance committee activities, and faculty, classified, or management initiatives. Moreover, the
Faculty and Staff Development Committee should be proactive in identifying college needs and encouraging employees to
explore ideas and competencies that facilitate continuous improvement at the organizational and individual levels.

4. Allocation of Resources
Since resources are limited, we believe that faculty and staff development activities should be designed to provide the greatest
effect on the college, its programs and students. Consequently, college resources should be allocated to activities that have
broad institutional impact. At the same time, we recognize (a) that faculty and staff development may involve activities which
are beyond staff’s ordinary or current job descriptions but are likely to be integrated into their present or future contribution to
the college and (b) the importance of faculty and staff development for all college employees, which requires that resources be
allocated equitably among disciplines, employee categories, and types of activities.

5. Accountability
We evaluate what we do and learn from our evaluations of major training activities. We recognize the importance of ensuring
appropriate accountability for those who engage in faculty and staff development activities. We abide by federal, state,
district, and college policies and regulations as well as by the requirements of funding sources. Our policies and operations are
open.

Responsibilities

Ultimately, the responsibility for faculty and staff development at LCC lies with each employee. The College President and Faculty
and Staff Development Committee must nurture a climate where continued personal and professional growth is valued and pursued.
The Faculty and Staff Development Committee is also responsible for ensuring that adequate opportunities for Faculty and Staff
Development exist. At present, the responsibilities of the Faculty and Staff Development Committee include the following:
 plans and conducts activities for all employees
 provides a forum for explorative and open discussion of new and innovative procedures and strategies
 advises and assists in planning, evaluating and improving interactions
 supports training and re-training opportunities
 distributes information on workshops, seminars, and available resources related to faculty and staff improvement
 provides programs for campus awareness
 develops a comprehensive Faculty and Staff Development plan

Faculty and Staff Development Goals and Strategies

The goals of the Faculty and Staff Development Committee (professional skills, academic knowledge, technological competency and
cultural proficiency) are aligned with the goals of the District and College. Most directly, the Faculty and Staff Development
Committee supports these goals through the development of skills, knowledge and attitudes in the college goal areas of:

 Student Success

identified and existing needs may change. The Faculty and Staff Development Committee will review the plan on a regular basis and
update it as needed. The document is living and flexible.
