Instructional Technology Academy

Participants will gain increased skills in technology, improvement as a teacher,  and recognition as a campus leader.  benefits to students are realized when  instructors utilize classroom technology. In addition, participants have the opportunity to shape and mold, not just students and other faculty, but the  college as well.

Although the skills at each level may not be directly applicable to every area of  teaching, the Faculty Certificate in Technology is comprehensive, covering basic  knowledge skills at each level.

Faculty members may “test out” of each level by demonstrating proficiency in  each area for their assigned mentor. Mentors will then send appropriate  documentation to the Faculty Development Subcommittee.

Each protégé will be assigned a mentor to help him or her complete the certificate or the special project agreed upon in the Mentor-Protégé Agreement.

Incentives will be agreed upon in the Mentor-Protégé agreement and will  generally be granted upon completion of the process. The Chair of the New  Media in Instruction Committee will arrange for the incentives to be granted.

The NMiC has included provisions for special instructional technology projects.  These projects will be indicated on the Protégé Interview Form and discussed and agreed upon in the Mentor-Protégé Agreement.

In order to receive the incentives, faculty members must officially become  protégés.

Mentors and Protégés will agree upon a tentative timeline at the beginning of the  process. Generally, since the term of a mentor is one calendar year or two  semesters and a summer, the process is expected to take the same amount of  time.

See the information for prospective protégés  on this page.
