Collaborative Partnerships for Providing Professional
Development
The CTL uses a collaborative process to develop
the college’s professional development program and has streamlined the processes
that are used to plan, coordinate and implement professional development
activities and learning opportunities that are made available to all Moraine
Valley faculty and staff. Four committees, comprised of individuals
from across the campus, serve as liaisons representing the needs of the group
that they each represent. They provide feedback and input about processes used to
deliver professional development opportunities as well as topics for future
workshops. This process helps to create meaningful platforms where teaching and
learning can be inspired.

Workshop Participant Appreciation (photo gallery)
Professional Development “Prize Patrol”
Expresses Appreciation to Workshop Participants
Members of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s Training Steering Team made
surprise visits to randomly selected professional development workshops to thank the workshop facilitators and participants. At the beginning of
the workshop, the “prize patrol” made a grand entrance with balloons and small
tokens of appreciation for everyone in attendance. The team, comprising Misha Turner, assistant
dean of the Center for Teaching and Learning, Kristine Christensen, director of
faculty development and associate professor of Information Management Systems,
Lola Oshinowo, director of Technology Training and Staff Development, and
Pamela Haney, assistant dean of Academic initiatives and Accountability, randomly selected
three fall workshops to visit and were so happy with the response that they
decided to continue the activity every semester.
