Staff Development Catalog 2016–2017

Welcome Welcome to the 2016–2017 Staff

workshops designed to meet the needs of SLCC

Development Catalog, a collective effort of many

staff. Offerings are organized into tracks aligned

departments across the College committed to

with our vision, mission, values and strategic

providing professional development and facilitated

goals. A guiding principle for professional

learning opportunities for SLCC employees.

development activities at SLCC is participant

We all engage in informal learning in the workplace through our interactions with colleagues and students every day. We read articles, we search YouTube and other media to learn new skills, we mentor and coach each other; learning is not confined to the experiences contained in these pages. It is inspiring to work at an organization where people are so interested in learning from their peers and co-workers.

Earlier this year, the Professional Development Task Force was commissioned by Cabinet to make recommendations for meaningful and integrated professional development at SLCC. The Task Force identified the need for a centralized catalog and calendar to make learning opportunities more accessible for all employees.

The Staff Development Catalog builds on our shared culture of learning through trainings and

engagement—we recognize that professional development is not a single event. Workshops and trainings are personalized and focus on the goal of building knowledge and skills that can be readily applied to your work at the College. A future goal is to link professional development activities and opportunities with the Growth Planning and Support (GPS) staff performance management program currently under development.

Our purpose in Staff Development is simple: to empower employees to learn through unique professional development opportunities. We encourage you and your supervisor to utilize this catalog to plan your learning experiences over the next year. Staff Development welcomes your feedback and contributions to this process. It is in our best interest (and that of our students) to keep learning and growing together.

Communication and Leadership Development Crucial Conversations® Crucial Conversations® is a two-day course that teaches skills for creating alignment and agreement by fostering open dialogue around high-stakes, emotional or risky topics at all levels of your organization. By learning to speak and be heard (and encouraging others to do the same), you’ll begin to surface the best ideas, make the highest-quality decisions, then act on your decisions with unity and commitment.

Building High-Performing Teams Organizations frequently talk of teams and most organizations are designed to foster groups. This course will examine the differences between these two concepts, and identify philosophies and actions required to create and sustain high-performing teams. Participants will do an assessment of their current team’s competency in specific team-success areas and develop an action plan to increase the team’s effectiveness and potential.

Online Staff Development Options Staff Development utilizes an innovative set of formats, learning management systems (LMS) and services to provide flexibility, convenience and a dynamic learning environment where you can apply new skills directly in the

18

workplace. To keep up with the latest technology, we seek partnerships with companies that understand our organization’s needs. We currently have two platforms that we are reviewing and testing for our employees.

Udemy Udemy is an LMS that allows SLCC employees to choose from a large selection of courses and the ability to design their own courses. We have several customized courses such as Inclusive Customer Service, Telephone Etiquette, and many of the key Emergency Preparedness and Response Training courses for staff.

Bridge Bridge is a professional development LMS built by Instructure (the company that made Canvas). Faculty and staff development in partnership with eLearning will be piloting the new platform this coming year. It is mobile ready and includes an intuitive authoring environment. This system allows for better tracking and ease of registration of training events. This is a first step in thinking about how eLearning training and development opportunities for faculty and staff can be improved.
