STANDARD II PROGRAM QUALITY: Institutional Commitment and Resources The parent institution demonstrates ongoing commitment and support. The institution makes available resources to enable the program to achieve its mission, goals, and expected outcomes. The faculty, as a resource of the program, enables the achievement of the mission, goals, and expected outcomes of the program. Key Element II-A The parent institution and program provide and support an environment that encourages faculty teaching, scholarship, service, and practice in keeping with the mission, goals, and expected outcomes of the program. The NWFSC administration has made a purposeful commitment to an educational environment that is supportive of faculty teaching, scholarship, service and practice. As evidenced by specific policy and practice, this commitment is commensurate with the mission, goals, and expected outcomes of the program. This college commitment is reflected in the official job description for both full- and part-time faculty members, which states: “[t]he first objective of an instructor shall be to provide the student with quality education through professional competence, effective teaching and wise counseling” and that faculty members are expected to “[m]aintain professional competence through continuous study, research, and awareness of new developments and more effective instructional methods in the specific instructional discipline.” The administrative commitment to this positive and supportive environment is further illustrated by the fact that the college president and senior vice president maintain an open-door policy which results in an impressive institutional camaraderie and ensures that senior administration is aware of and sensitive to faculty and program needs. In addition, the president and senior vice president participate in new student orientation for the program, as well as serve as guest speakers on topics such as administrative communication and leadership. Numerous college policies and practices evidence the support necessary for faculty to meet this provision. Specific examples of policy and practice for teaching, service, practice and scholarship follow.
