Classroom Visits
Download The Annual Liaison Requirements Checklist
Faculty liaisons are required to visit their CE instructors in the first semester they teach as new instructor and then after that they may visit at a frequency that works best for both the faculty liaison and instructor. Visits are tracked by submitting a work report in MyCE. The SLCC Concurrent Enrollment Office provides a list of which classes need to be visited and when the last visit date was on Quality Control Data Dashboard so faculty can identify if there are instructors that have not been visited for a while and check in with them if they feel it is time to do so.
Some SLCC academic departments feel that if they have rigorously vetted the instructor, trained them on the SLCC curriculum standard, review their syllabus annually, and provide occasional mandatory training, that is sufficient to ensure curricular integrity. These departments are comfortable with visiting the CE instructors only during that first semester they teach and not after that. Other academic departments prefer to visit new teachers for the first year, a couple times each semester and then once they have determined that the instructor is competent to check in every few years. Still others prefer to visit the class once per year or per semester. It is up to you.
Visits should not exceed the frequency required of SLCC adjuncts unles there are concern over the instructors ability to deliver the college curriculum according to the academic department standard.
Regardless of what SLCC academic departments decide, CE College Experience Liaisons, who are full-time employees of the Concurrent Enrollment Department and work closely with SLCC academic departments, will visit each teacher's classroom yearly to evaluate the college experience, pedagogical practices, and provide feedback and support. SLCC academic departments are encouraged to collaborate with these liaisons to help alleviate the oversight load on full-time faculty, where the academic department feels that would be appropriate.
SLCC faculty who serve as liaisons will use the Work Report form in MyCE to track and document site visits. CE College Experience liaisons use the more lengthly, formative evaluation form in MyCE.
