Accomplishments in Faculty and Staff Development, 1988-1990.
Walters, Judy; Howard, Darlinetta
In spring 1989, the California Legislature provided $5 million for faculty and staff development at California Community Colleges during the 1988-89 fiscal year. Another $5 million was allocated in July 1989 for 1989-90. These funds, allocated under Assembly Bill (AB) 1725, were provided for each campus to establish an advisory committee composed of faculty, classified employees, and administrators; to conduct a staff development needs assessment; to develop a plan to meet those needs; and to implement the planned activities. In April 1990, the Chancellor's Office requested that each college provide information on any faculty and staff development activities, explaining whether such activities were financed through AB 1725 or with District funds, and providing statistics on the number of people participating in each development activity. The colleges were asked to provide information on: (1) any outstanding activity financed with AB 1725 funds; (2) any activity relating to underrepresented groups, affirmative action, upward mobility and intercultural workshops; and (3) any activity carried out with a sister institution or neighboring college. Synopses are provided of the responses of 33 colleges to any or all of these questions. (Author/GFW)
