This page is a resource for participants of the Strong Workforce Faculty Institute—a professional learning opportunity for faculty in the San Diego and Imperial Counties Community Colleges.

The goals of the Faculty Institute are to:

  • Foster strong collaboration and engagement among faculty, researchers, and deans
  • Encourage self-reflection, inquiry, and research-based decision-making
  • Inspire teaching and learning from a culturally inclusive perspective

Faculty Institute participants are expected to attend two professional learning events and complete an online form, which has two parts:

  • Investigative research and reflection (Sections I through IV)
  • An action plan to implement ideas in the classroom (Section V)
