Faculty Development
The VALUE Project
The Association of American Colleges and Universities' VALUE project "builds on a philosophy of learning assessment that privileges authentic assessment of student work and shared understanding of student learning outcomes on campuses over reliance on standardized tests administered to samples of students outside of their required courses."

College Faculty Credentialing
The Academic Affairs College Faculty Credentialing unit develops policies and procedures to assure qualified individuals perform faculty work in our two-year colleges through system-established faculty minimum qualifications under Board Policy 3.32: College Faculty Credentialing, and Procedure 3.32.1: College Faculty Credentialing. This applies to faculty positions governed by the Minnesota State College Faculty (MSCF) bargaining agreement. Register by December 11 for the fall 2012 course.

Looking for the Center for Teaching and Learning? After serving faculty throughout the system from 1998-2011, CTL closed its doors on January 31, 2011. BUT many faculty development resources that CTL used to maintain live on here and will continue to be updated.
