PIP is a two-semester, cohort-based professional development program designed for faculty and student-facing staff. We welcome part-time and full-time professionals at Los Medanos College to join us in innovating your pedagogy and instructional design to improve student engagement and learning. We are proud to have worked with 50 LMC faculty and staff over the last 5 years of the program. Our program reports to the Office of 公平与包容.

程序结构

PIP meets every 天博 week, including during FLEX week, to explore best practices in our work with students, collect data on impact and effectiveness, and observe one an天博 in action. Total time commitment is roughly 48 hours (~32 of those hours are spent together in programming). 每次项目会议大约一个半小时。

项目内容

In our community of practice, we explore principles and theories related to instructional design and pedagogy, including but not limited to educator identity, trauma-informed/healing-centered practices, decolonized assessment, and backward instructional design. Participants engage in unit planning, action research in the classroom/learning environment, classroom observations, peer coaching, readings, and reflections all designed to improve impact on student learning.

项目目标

  • Examine educational theories and practices grounded in culturally responsive pedagogy & adult learning theory.
  • Experiment with instructional moves, assess impact on students, and support fellow cohort members.
  • 观察彼此的行动,参与同伴指导和指导。
  • Collaborate on designing instructional plans that utilize best practices and peer feedback.
  • 反思课程过程中教学实践的变化。

Mini-grant奖

Participants who successfully complete the program will receive a $1,000 professional development grant to be spent on conference attendance, educational materials and/or 天博 professional development needs the academic year following their participation.

资格

The program is open to all faculty (part-time and full-time), student-facing classified employees, and classified employees who are also adjunct faculty and have manager approval to include as part of their workday.

皮普位联席

明星路易斯·斯蒂尔斯 (Professor of Speech)
Star has been a member of the Los Medanos Speech Communication department for 12 years, and she most enjoys helping hesitant students learn to enjoy public speaking. One of her favorite LMC experiences was taking part in PIP, and some of the things learned there inspired her to begin doing diversity, equity, belonging, and inclusion work both on-campus and off. Before coming to LMC she taught high school English and Social Studies, and she hopes to be a lifelong learner and teacher.

吉尔布特尼 (Professor of English)
Jill has been teaching English since 2009, and she has been at LMC for the last ten years. During her time at LMC, she has been committed to professional development facilitation, leading Faculty Nexus, workshops through the Equity Speaker Series, tutor training in the Center for 学术支持, and PIP. She co-founded PIP with Briana McCarthy (former LMC Biology Professor) and loves working with faculty and staff through the program.
