Oliveira via Proxy
Kristine Oliveira sent a message to the committee, welcoming them back and acknowledging the work the committee has done over the past two weeks.
II. Opening Comments from the Public
All Dr. Zia Nisani forwarded a request from members of his department to streamline the contract entry system. He offered Modesto College’s system as an example that the FPDC may want to review.
III. Approval of Minutes for September 14, 2016.
All Minutes were approved for the FPDC meeting held on September 14, 2016.
IV. Discussion Item: Updates on Goals
All Issues Discussed: 1. DHH (Dr. Z. Nisani & Dr. D. Wiewall)
a. Zia and Darcy have discussed issues and have invited Deaf Studies instructor Daniel Humphrey to join the sub-‐group. They are looking at the various laws and policies that guide college practices.
b. Greg Krynen has training videos on Blackboard and Canvas on closed captioning. Additional training options may be available.
c. Jackie Lott noted that facilities and ITS need to be involved to ensure the equipment in the rooms is working properly.
2. Evaluation of FPD Program (Dr R. Brynin & Dr. B. Suderman)
a. Rona found a good example of an FPD program survey from Northern Arizona University (attachment).
b. Bonnie suggested involving the Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Planning department to help with an extensive survey.
c. Zia questioned whether the committee would be able to break the responses down according to discipline or department; Mark noted this would require the sign-‐in sheets to be changed.
d. Jackie reminded the committee to stay focused on the committee’s purpose, and Bonnie emphasized the need for the survey to be informational instead of punitive. Zia suggested open-‐ended questions that faculty would have to type in responses.
3. Mentorship Program (M. Hoffer & Dr. J. Cooper) a. Discussions have taken place and Mark has looked
at the Dept. Chair duties; however, the Dept. Chair duties are fairly limited in regards to mentorship, and the FPDC is looking for more interdisciplinary methods.
b. The sub-‐group is looking for Patricia Marquez’s former work on a mentorship program to offer a different model.
c. Kristine wanted to remind the committee that the minutes for Feb. 24, 2016 reflect a previous discussion the committee had on a mentorship program.
4. AVC Committee & Organization (K. Oliveira/K. Mitchell)
a. Kristine has been communicating with Patty
McClure. b. Bonnie asked if the calendar would be pushed on
everyone’s Google calendar, but Kathryn believed this was to be a separate entity that employees could view for informational purposes.
Action Taken: None. Follow Up Items: Each sub-‐group will continue to work on the issues and report back to the committee at a future date.
Discussion Item: FPD Sign-‐in Sheets
Kathryn Mitchell
Issues Discussed: Normally, Nancy organizes the committee’s sign-‐in sheets, but as she is out, does anyone have any suggestions about how to collect and keep our sign-‐in sheets organized? ● Jackie informed the committee that Nancy kept the sign-‐
in sheets in large 3-‐ring binders, organized by date. We could continue to do this.
● Zia suggested scanning and keeping both a digital PDF and paper copies so the information would be easily accessible.
Action Taken: Kathryn will forward the information to Kristine. Follow Up Items: Kathryn will find out how long colleges are required to keep the files.
Discussion Item: FPDC Calendar Overview
Kathryn Mitchell
Issues Discussed: Kristine reviewed minutes from last year to find regularly occurring events and put it on a calendar grid. She noted the overview is not intended to be specific to any particular year but is to reflect normal decisions that need to be made by the committee. She asked for feedback from the committee. ● Additional events suggested to include:
○ Update Guidelines (end of spring semester) ○ Due dates for contracts (adjunct and full-‐time) ○ Chancellor’s Office due date for program
submission (usually end of May/beginning of June)
○ When to send reminder emails about due dates
Action Plan: Kristine will update the calendar overview.
Follow Up Items: Committee members will forward any additional calendar items to Kristine if they think of them.
Discussion Item: Online Supplemental Forms
Kathryn Mitchell
Issue: Kristine has received faculty questioning when they are to submit the completed Online Supplemental Forms after attending online live webinars. Kristine has suggested they keep a file of their forms and then submit them when they turn in their contracts (self-‐reporting attendance). ● This is what was done previously, so the committee
agreed to continue the practice. ● It was asked if the committee can make submission as
part of the contract system.
Action Plan: Greg is going to ask if it can be made a part of the contract system, possibly as an attachment to the final submission.
Follow Up Items: Committee will revisit issue when further information is known from Greg.
V. Action Items All a. Request for FPD Funding (Jackie Lott) ● Motion approved, with 1 abstention
VI. Information Items Kathryn
Mitchell 1. Fall Opening Day Survey
a. Kristine sent out the Fall Opening Day survey to faculty twice. It closes Oct. 4, 2016.
b. Kristine has training with Greg to learn how to update our FPDC webpages.
2. FPDC Vacancies a. ASO Representative: Kristine has spoken with Dr.
Jill Zimmerman and Kimbirly Dolatowski, the ASO President. Kimbirly will speak with the ASO to ask if there are any students willing to participate in the committee.
b. CMS Representative: Kristine is waiting to hear from Mina Hernandez.
c. Classified Representative: Kristine is waiting to
hear from Pamela Ford.
d. Professional Development Committee Faculty Representatives: The faculty reps on the Professional Development Committee are Dr. Irit Gat and Dr. Susan Lowry. Kristine is meeting with Mark Bryant to discuss the contours of the two committees.
3. Deaf and Hard of Hearing Documents a. Tamira in OSD provided the committee with many
documents to help the FPDC understand the policy and procedures that exist for ADA, Ed code, and practices at our school.
4. Budget a. Kristine is meeting with Irit to discuss the FPDC’s
budget. b. Last year’s budget was spent on the following:
i. $426 Non-‐instructional support ii. $5,000 Contract/consulting services iii. $3,005 Travel and conferences iv. $1,165 Dues and membership (NISOD)
5. Annual Committee Goals 2015-‐16 a. Jackie handed out copies of the goals that the
FPDC had for last year to remind the committee what was accomplished and what still needed attention.
b. Jackie reminded the committee to feel comfortable in adding items to the agenda and to speak up on behalf of those that they represent. She noted the representatives are the voice for others.
c. Kathryn informed the committee that one of the goals of last year was to offer additional FPD events the week of Fall Opening Day, and it worked well. The three events offered on Thursday were nicely attended. Jeff commented that he appreciated the opportunity to complete FPD hours before the semester started.
NEXT MEETING DATE: October 12, 2016.

Minutes
Wednesday, October 12, 2016 L-201 Time – 2:00-3:15
Type of Meeting: Regular Note Taker: Kathryn Please Review/Bring: Agenda Packet Committee Members: Kathryn Mitchell, Faculty Co-Chair (Proxy) Dr. Zia Nisani, Faculty Member Dr. Rona Brynin, Faculty Member Dr. Tom O’Neil, Administrative Member Mark Hoffer, Faculty Member Dr. Darcy Wiewall, Faculty Member

Items Person Action I. Opening
Comments from the Chair
Kristine Oliveira via
Proxy
● Kathryn Mitchell noted that the committee did not have quorum, so the meeting will proceed but will not be able to approve minutes.
● Kristine Oliveira sent a message to the committee, welcoming new committee member Kevin Vasquez Cabrera, ASO secretary, and reminding the committee that they need to start thinking about Spring Opening Day.
II. Opening All None.
Comments from the Public III. Approval of Minutes for September 28, 2016.
All Minutes were unable to be approved due to lack of quorum.
IV. Discussion Item: AVC Fall 2016 Opening Day Evaluations
Kathryn Mitchell
Issues Discussed: Kristine noted that the Fall Opening Day evaluations were overall positive, and that faculty want more break-out sessions that are hands-on, especially technology sessions.
● Kristine would like to have the committee review and revise the evaluation format itself. The information is somewhat difficult to discern.
● It was suggested that presenters have a mandatory evaluation sheet that needed to be completed at the end of the presentation (this was done prior to moving evaluations online).
● Another issue was found that many people signed in and out at the beginning of the presentation but then left, not staying for the presentation. Separate sign-in and sign-out sheets were suggested, and the presenters would need to put one out at the beginning and then one out at the end of the event.
Action Plan: Committee is going to review and revise the evaluation questions. Follow-Up Items: Committee will discuss possible questions and format at a future meeting.
V. Discussion Item: Updates on Goals
All Issues Discussed: 1. DHH (Dr. Z. Nisani & Dr. D. Wiewall)
a. Zia and Darcy are still trying to find time to meet with Deaf Studies instructor Daniel Humphrey.
b. One idea is to include a new page to the FPD website, “Presenters 101.” All presenters must read and learn the requirements of being a presenter before their event.
c. Other ideas are to have an FAQ page for presenters and a section in the handbook that include the responsibilities of the attendees.
2. Evaluation of FPD Program (Dr R. Brynin & Dr. B. Suderman)
a. Rona asked the committee where it wanted to go from the handout she brought in the last
meeting.
3. Mentorship Program (M. Hoffer & Dr. J. Cooper) a. The sub-group has looked at different college
websites, and the committee was given a handout relating COC’s mentorship FPD programs from Kristine prior to the meeting.
b. Discussion followed regarding FPD credit for instances of new full-time faculty and how many hours mentors would be able to claim during a 4-year tenure evaluation cycle. It was decided that the first year would require the most time, and then subsequent years would be allowed fewer hours.
c. Issues to think about: Funding and support of college to develop program (COC is invested in their FPD program differently than AVC); Is the FPD supposed to run the program? Is it under the purview of the FPDC duties? Stipend would need to be negotiated.
4. AVC Committee & Organization Meetings At-a-Glance(K. Oliveira/K. Mitchell)
a. Kristine does not have anything new to report at this time.
Action Taken: None. Follow Up Items: Each sub-group will continue to work on the issues and report back to the committee at a future date.
Discussion Item: Glitch with Self-Reporting
Kathryn Mitchell
Issues Discussed: Kristine received an email from a faculty member who has reported trouble with the self-reporting aspect of the contract system. Kristine asked committee if they have heard similar complaints.
● Two other FPDC members have heard of similar issues with the system where the submitted contracts disappear.
● Rona had trouble herself, but she said that she found if she clicked “save” first, before “submit,” it worked.
Action Taken: Kathryn will forward the information to Kristine. Follow Up Items: None at this time.
V. Action Items All None.
VI. Information Items Kathryn
Mitchell 1. ASO Representative
a. New student representative Kevin Vazquez Cabrera has been added to the FPDC.
2. Outcomes Committee Training Dates a. The Outcomes Committee has held three
trainings this semester and does not plan on having any more training events this semester.
b. Kathryn noted the committee is under an umbrella, therefore all training events are Standard 1 and allowed, regardless of when scheduled.
3. FPD Events Relocated a. Due to accommodations for a polling station,
two FPD events have been displaced: “All Important Syllabus” and “Women of the City.”
b. Both presentations have been moved to LH 100.
c. Kristine will ask Greg Krynen to change the location on the FPD Calendar.
4. SPD and FPD a. Kristine met with Mark Bryant and found that
Staff Development aligns with Administrative Policy, open to anyone on campus.
b. Cap is $1,500 per person, until gone. (First come, first serve; no priority given to any group of employees.)
c. Money is for trainings, workshops, and conferences.
d. The SPD meets once a month to review applications, or as needed.
5. Charles Hood Request for FPD Funds a. Request is for $200 for a speaker fee. b. Speaker is scheduled for the March 2017 FPD
event “Do Maps Matter? The Fate of the Map in the Age of Siri and GPS.”
6. Senate Report on Oct. 6, 2016 a. Kristine reported to the Senate, detailing the
FPDC goals. The Senate was supportive of the committee’s goals for the year.
7. Captioning Handout (attachment) 8. Pepnet 2
a. Dean Duane Rumsey informed us that there is a website on classes that are available through CSUN and the National Center on Deafness. Free workshops are offered to help greater accessibility for the DHH members of the college.
NEXT MEETING DATE: October 26, 2016.

1. NAU NORTHERN ARIZON UNIVERSITY 2. Faculty Development 3. Program Assessment
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF FACULTY LEARNING FROM AND WITH COLLEAGUES?
An assessment of the Faculty Professional Development Program, 2010-2011
The Faculty Professional Development Program (FPDP) seeks to frame a campus “teaching commons,” what the Carnegie
Foundation describes as a “conceptual space in which communities of educators committed to innovation & inquiry come
together to exchange ideas about teaching & learning, and use them to meet the challenges of educating students for personal,
professional, and civic life.” Through our events, resources, and programs we aim to enable faculty to build relationships with
others in the university community and discover new methods to strengthen professional and teaching capabilities.
The mission of the NAU Faculty Professional Development Program is to:
• offer opportunities for professional development in teaching to enrich success in student learning
• play a key role in strengthening a learning-centered campus culture leading to student success
• advance new teaching and learning initiatives that impact student success
• foster collegial dialogue within and among faculty and campus partners about effective teaching
• serve as a convener to showcase faculty expertise in teaching.
We support departmental, school, and college initiatives and seek to provide pathways for the NAU learning-centered priority
and strategic goals through alignment of initiatives.
Methods
The professional literature suggests five levels of evaluation for faculty development programs. FPDP resource session
participation was tracked through registration and attendance. Following the sessions participants were provided with a link to
anonymous online evaluations with six Likert-scale items and three open-ended questions. A brief year-end survey was also sent
to all participants in the 2010-11 resource sessions to further assess the systemic impact of the year’s programs.
Conclusions & Implications
Total attendance at 2010-11 resource sessions exceeded 731. By analyzing the unduplicated numbers (328), we learned how to
strengthen the offerings in 2011-12. Implications of the assessment efforts: faculty feedback was used to identify this year’s
session topics and an advisory committee and coordinating council met regularly to review findings and discuss implications.
Level 1: Participation
Who attended and why?
Faculty Professional Development Program Event Participation by College/Area 2010-2011
SBS 18% CEFNS 16% Other departments 13% CAL 12% COE 8% HHS 8% Student Affairs 8% FCB 7% Center Int'l Ed. 6% Cline Library 4%
Faculty Professional Development Program Event Participation by Academic Title 2010-2011
Support Staff 48 Assistant Professor 43 Professor 38 Associate Professor 36 Lecturer, Sr. Lecturer 30 Instructor 26 Student 26 Other Administrators 23 Dean/Director 19 Off-campus 16 Part-time Faculty 13 Librarian 10
What prompted you to attend this event? • “I like to make sure any assignments I give are pertinent and will help the students absorb and put into practice the
class discussions.”
• “I have a need for constant professional growth and revitalization.”
• “I aim to be the best 'teacher' I possibly can – and past sessions have always provided new tools for me to work with.”
• “This is my first time teaching and one of my mentors ... thought that it would be a helpful discussion for me. I definitely agree and am very glad that I attended."
• “I actually attended to meet people from other departments, but I also learned much.”
• “I want more student engagement and discussion in my large lecture class.”
Level 2: Satisfaction
Did participants find the session useful?
Aggregate Evaluation Data over sixteen workshops and roundtables 2010-2011
Question Strongly Agree Agree Disagree Strongly
Disagree The session addressed some of my teaching and instruction needs. 36% 53% 9% 2%
The topics addressed during the session were clearly presented. 74% 24% 2% 0%
The topics addressed during the session will be useful to me in my work. 58% 40% 1% 1%
The level of interaction between presenters and participants was valuable. 61% 36% 3% 0%
Yes No
Would you recommend this session to another faculty member? 92% 8%
Representative comments:
• “I've saved the handouts, and I'm going to use all the ideas I can.”
• “This is my first time teaching and I found the material, discussion, and ideas presented very helpful. ”
• “I love that everything … is backed up by current research – and that multiple views are offered.”
• "I got four or five ideas that I have already started to use.”
Level 3: Learning
What was gained? (i.e. attitudes, beliefs, skills)
What new attitudes, beliefs, or skills did you learn? (Rona’s suggestion)
• “I am consciously more aware of the words that I choose to use & how they can either facilitate or impede a conversation. ”
• “Helped me identify fellow faculty members who are potential resources for the courses I teach. I'm still thinking about the session, which indicates that it resonated within me.”
• “It gave me some new perspectives that I will try with my …students.”
Level 4: Application
How will material be applied to participant’s work?
How will you apply what you learned to your teaching? (Rona’s suggestion)
Representative comments:
• “I plan to implement some of the techniques I learned in this session to improve (class) discussions.”
• "I plan to engage with the class differently – particularly in the first 2 weeks!”
• “I really came away with a lot of ideas to enhance classes. So much of it made sense and it will be easy to implement little pieces to start with and grow from there.”
• “I will refer to the materials provided in the sessions to evaluate my current work and as I plan for the next semester.”
• "I picked up a few techniques that I think I can use in class.
• “Will use daily in classes.”
Level 5: Systematic impact
What evidence is there that participation in the FDP leads to identifiable outcomes?
• 73% talked with colleagues about something that came up at the session/s.
• 67% directly applied something from one or more sessions to their teaching.
• 49% saw a positive impact on students related to something they adopted/adapted following the session/s.
• 32% directly applied something from one or more sessions to their scholarly work.
“The Faculty Professional Development Program is invaluable in helping NAU to achieve its mission. Students appreciate that
faculty have an opportunity to improve their teaching skills. NAU's reputation benefits when faculty have an opportunity to learn
skills and techniques that improve their scholarly work. Faculty benefit from all of the above and also from having the
opportunity to engage with colleagues from other departments."

7 November 2016 Matthew Jaffe 6:23 AM (3 hours ago) Hi, Kristine, I have received your e-mail and I am very upset about it. . . . The flex that I know generated this on the Kennedy Assassination was moved three times. My dvds would have played fine had we been left in the original room. But we were moved twice more. There is a big difference between the crappy college equipment not working and my being prejudiced against deaf people. My grandmother was deaf. One of my first cousins is deaf. We tried for a half an hour to get the dvds to play properly. The closed caption does not always work on youtube. . . . I have decided that I shall no longer give any Flex talks on any subject alone or with anybody else. That way, I cannot be blamed for the close captioning not working. . . . .
Kristine Oliveira <[email protected]> 9:42 AM (1 minute ago) Hi Matthew-- I am absolutely NOT blaming anyone with my email. My email was intended to educate faculty on accessibility and the law, not to out anyone as insensitive to the needs of our colleagues. The unreliability of the equipment is a major problem, and the changes in rooms makes the preparation all the more difficult. I would be derelict in my duties as the co-chair if I did not take the opportunity to help all faculty to understand how to make their video accessible for all. I know that you are an incredibly capable presenter and a beloved member of the faculty. Your contribution to Faculty Professional Development over the years has helped many of us--both as presenters and as participants--to grow in our knowledge and craft. Please know that FPDC is filled with people who deeply respect the investment that our colleagues make to our collective professional development. If you are available this week, I'd like to sit down with you to discuss your thoughts. I have Thursday after 12:30p available. We could invite Pavinee and John, too. In the mean time, I'll bring your concerns back to the committee on Wednesday so that we can discuss the difficulties when rooms are changed and equipment is unreliable. --Kristine

I looked in both the senate and FPD handbooks before asking you this, just fyi!
Question 1:
What is the deadline to submit a Sabbatical Leave request for spring 2018?
Question 2:
I found nothing in the Senate or FPD handbooks that address the presentation usually given by the Scholar inResidence, but I would like to do one. My tentative topic will be "Teaching with Compassion: From the CollegeCampus to the Prison Campus," and I would like to give it in the Spring of 2017. Are there any criteria for it? Can people be offered FPD credit for attending? When / how shall I schedule it?
Thank you!

FPDC Senate Report 3 Nov 2016
1. Fall Opening Day evaluations: a. Evaluations were overall positive, and faculty noted that they would like to have more hands-on
workshops with technology
2. Spring Opening Day: a. The committee will start its discussion of the Spring Opening Day this month
3. Subgroup Reports:
a. Deaf and Hard of Hearing: (Dr Nisani and Dr Wiewall) i. Thank you to Tamira Palmetto Despain and the OSD for their continued support in our effort

b. Evaluation of the FPD Program: (Dr Suderman and Dr Brynin) i. Dr Brynin and Dr Suderman have been making headway in developing a more thorough and
useful evaluation strategy for our program, using the University of Northern Arizona as a resource in guiding the committee’s discussion.
ii. We are looking forward to our next meeting where we will be delving more deeply into determining what it is that we are seeking to measure and how we could put the findings to use.
c. Mentorship Program: (Prof Hoffer and Dr Cooper)
i. The subgroup has been comparing Mentorship programs at different colleges. ii. What is clear is that Mentorships across the spectrum have support from their colleges and that

structures: Tenure-process Mentorship model, as well as a Full-time – Part-time Mentorship model.
