Discipline-Specific Orientation

Addresses NACEP Faculty Standard 2: Faculty liaisons at the college/university provide all new concurrent enrollment instructors with course-specific training in course philosophy, curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment prior to the instructor teaching the course.

Requirements:

• May be face-to-face or virtual, synchronous or asynchronous, group or one-on-one.
• Length may vary based on CCI’s previous education and experience.
• Must be documented, so one-on-one is more labor intensive (see Appendix A).
• Documentation must address, at a minimum, each of the following:
  • Course philosophy - How the course is situated in the discipline, field, or program.
  • Curriculum - Share and review
    • CDM
    • Course syllabus
    • Key assignments and their grading scale
    • Which course SLOs align to Gen Ed or Program outcomes.
  • Discuss how much latitude a CCI has to customize course syllabus, assessments, etc…
  • Pedagogy - Teaching strategies
  • Assessment
    • Review criteria for assessment, including any rubrics and reporting requirements
    • Share sample student work to calibrate grading norms
  • Build an ongoing collegial relationship
