Review and Approve Proposals for Flex Week
The Committee suggested a number of schedule changes. Last October (meeting minutes),
we reviewed selection criteria that was first approved in 2010. Below includes a list of
questions to consider when approving proposals just in case members are asked about it.


Is it an acceptable activity for professional development? Does it meet state criteria?
Does the activity reflect the flex week theme?
Does the workshop address emerging needs?
Is the proposal addressing a selective audience, or does it have broad appeal?
Will there be minimal competition with other activities in same time slot?
Is the workshop a repeat of a recent flex event? What is its attendance history?
Is the presenter listed as a presenter in more than one workshop proposal? If so, is it a
performance of their regular duties? (e.g. SLO Coordinator, TLC Director,
Admin/Mgr, etc.)
Is training required? (e.g. diversity, sexual harassment, safety)
Is the training institution-driven? (SLOs, Student Success, Basic Skills)
At our first meeting in the fall, we can further define the criteria and include it in the call for
proposals.
Professional Development Update:
Laurel, Vicki Fabbri, and Michael Mangin are working hard to give shape to this new
initiative and generate support. Francine will join them for conversations about what our
committee can do to support this more inclusive (and effective) approach to professional
development. Stay tuned...as a Staff Development Committee member, your feedback is
important!
The good news...Rachel Mayo will be the new Vice President appointee on the Staff
Development Committee as per CCFT Article 9.2.2.2 Welcome, Rachel!
