Key Element IV-D Faculty outcomes demonstrate achievement of the program’s mission, goals, and expected outcomes and enhance program quality and effectiveness. As illustrated by Appendix J, 100% of program faculty members meet or exceed the qualifications established by the college and the SACS Commission on Colleges. (Also see curriculum vitae in the onsite resource room.) Faculty are members of college standing committees and numerous professional organizations including: the American Heart Association, College-wide Council, and American Nurses Association which provides them with access to community resources and helps to set an exemplary standard of community involvement and service for students ( see faculty curriculum vitae found in onsite resource room). In addition, the following summary of the significant accomplishments the program faculty members have achieved over the past academic year illustrates an ongoing commitment to service, scholarship and professional growth. • Two faculty members worked with local doctors and health practitioners to establish the Crossroads Free Medical Clinic, which opened in 2007. • One faculty member serves on the Board of Directors for the Crossroads Medical Free Clinic and directs all clinical services for Crossroads. • The Program Director successfully completed the two-year Florida Community College Leadership Program, sponsored jointly by the college and the FLDOE Chancellor for Community Colleges. • One faculty member completed 21 out of 27 credits toward satisfaction of her ARNP certificate in Adult Health through the University of South Alabama. • One faculty member presented her scholarly report, Iron Curtains of the Heart: Adoption, and Attachment Disorder, at the Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society 19 th International Nursing Research Congress: Globalization of Research Through Technology, Sun-Tec Center, Singapore in the summer of 2008. • One faculty member completed 15 out of 37 credits toward the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of South Alabama. • The Associate Dean presented portions of the curriculum at the NCLEX Review course for Rinehart and Associates. • Two Adjunct Faculty to the program attained Certification in Nursing Education (CNE) through the National League for Nursing. Activities such as the above ensure that the faculty members are able to draw from current real-life experiences, scholarly research, and professional practice during class presentations. Descriptions and examples drawn from these and other similar activities bring didactic and Northwest Florida State College Self-Study Report for the BSN Program, August 20, 2008 Page 54 of 59
simulation activities to life and enhance the learning process. In addition, pursuit of these endeavors allows faculty members not only to serve as academic guides, but also to actively model the ideals embodied in the program mission, goals and expected outcomes- two strategies that are especially helpful in furthering attainment of specific student and program outcomes. The impact of these efforts on students is verified in part by results of the student evaluation of faculty and student comments through the program review system in place for the previously existing upper division nursing curriculum. (Evaluation results are available in the onsite resource room.) Per the official job description, faculty members are accountable for effective teaching in general and in furtherance of program and college goals. Expected faculty outcomes are regularly assessed through various methods and results used for program improvement. Table 8.0 presents a summary of faculty outcomes, all of which are derived from and congruent with the mission, goals, and expected outcomes of the college and the program.
