FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

By ReEID

Faculty Exchange

A number of administrative, staff and faculty colleagues
who are interested in an exchange next year attended an
introductory meeting on the new Community College
Exchange Program (CCEP) on October 12 at noon.

At the meeting, I outlined the operation of the CCEP
brokerage, a network which the BC colleges have joined and
outlined the application process. There are two points at
which you can indicate interest: a very preliminary interest
list is now being drawn up for those who may be interested in
an exchange starting September 1991 and formal applications
are now being taken for those who wish to exchange
September 1990.

Anyone who is interested in an exchange in September
1990 or may be interested in an exchange in 1991 should
contact Reid at local 2414. The preliminary interest listing
does not commit you to an actual exchange, but does publish
your possible interest to a wide audience of American and
Canadian colleges. The formal application does commit you
to an exchange if one can be arranged. These formal
applications are due by November 5, 1989.

Exchange is an excellent way to renew yourself, to
provide fresh insights and some “fresh air.” If you are
interested in the possibility of exchange, please give it some
thought now.

Fall Brochure

The fall Faculty Development brochure is now
published and distributed. A copy was sent to each faculty
member, to each administrator, and to each office area for
the interest of support staff members. If you didn’t receive
a copy, please speak to your Divisional Assistant (or the
person who distributes mail in your area.)

Some Tips for Applying for Grants and
Conferences

The deadline for applications is October 31. To make
the adjudication process easier, please supply all the
information requested in the brochure. If you have already
sent in an application but without all necessary information,
please send along an addendum.

1. Grants:

1. Remember that grants are not for the production of
classroom or college programme materials, although your
research might generate direct classroom materials at some
future date. The Grant programme is meant to facilitate
studies of various types which enhance the professional
development of the faculty member, not to produce
materials for students or guides for the college.

2. Research assistants are paid approximately $10./hr.
Include reasonable estimates of such costs in your budget
proposal.
