• what topics they they would like to have presented at the T&T

Discussion of role of PDC, Adjunct Institute and Staff Training. 

• They are melding with shared attendance at all offerings

• Joann suggested there might be differences between workshops offered by Staff Training and those offered by the PDC. Workshops are more training-oriented (Word, Excel and other computer software, multimedia equipment, teaching strategies, etc.) The PDC may be more interested in offering roundtables where faculty discuss how to improve teaching and learning.

• Joann requested that the PDC help her by suggesting ideas for future workshops?

• Adjuncts get paid $70 for ever 2 level 2 courses they complete so Workshops have to be reviewed with Dr. Smith to see it they are Level 1, 2, or 3.  All Departmental workshops are level 2.

Possible Offerings

• It was also felt that using the outlook calendar for scheduling (and coordinating schedules of several people) would be a topic of interest to many folk

• A Roundtable on the counseling model - one councilor for the life of the student versus the current UCC way of you get whatever counselor is available at the time
