SFCC Administrative Procedure 5011 includes a detailed explanation of how faculty can apply forprofessional development funding and the types of professional development that are supported by thecollege. The SPD Committee is the main vehicle used to support faculty efforts to maintain and improvehigh quality teaching and expertise; the committee evaluates faculty requests for educational grants andfor workshop, conference, and seminar grants. SPD is committed to disbursing the entire professionaldevelopment annual budget and supporting as many requests as possible. All full-timeemployees, including faculty, who have passed their 90-day probationary period are eligible to apply forfunding. The SPD annual reports indicate a strong commitment to faculty development.Number of Requests Funded for all SFCC EmployeesYear Tuition Support Workshop/Conf/Seminar2007-08 49 requests totaling$37,5002008-09 48 requests totaling$37,5002009-10 35 requests totaling$37,500100 requests totaling$41,28282 requests totaling$68,400137 requests totaling$87,081Besides funding professional development projects for employees, the SPD Committee also develops aschedule of monthly professional development activities for faculty and provides an annual College-wideprofessional development event. At the beginning of the fall term, campuswide professional developmentactivities are offered as part of a schedule of meetings, called “Welcome Back Week.” A ProfessionalDevelopment Day and an Assessment Day have been added to the academic calendar every yearsince 2008.Further evidence of College support for professional development activities appears in the facultyAnnual Service Report. As a part of the annual faculty evaluation by the instructional supervisor,faculty identify each workshop and meeting attended during the year. Faculty and supervisor discuss thevalue and application of professional development to student learning. Additional explanation of theAnnual Service Report is available in Comprehensive Standard 3.7.2.A review of the Master Schedule Request forms submitted by the Continuing and Workforce Education(CWE) program indicates the extensive number and variety of opportunities provided for full-time andadjunct faculty to develop and improve technology skills for teaching and communicating in theelectronic age. In fact, the Continuing and Workforce Education area has recently offered nearly 130separate meetings, workshops, roundtables, conference calls, and webinars. Many of the workshops atthe College offered through the Continuing and Workforce Education program are offered through theeLearning Department and the Computer Science Department. From these two sources, full-timeand adjunct faculty receive training in using the latest electronic tools for teaching and communicating(i.e., Skype, social networking, presentation software programs, iTunes U, shareware, Google services,and other innovative tools). Every offering from the Continuing and Workforce Education program isevaluated with the campus based professional development evaluation form.SFCC's committment to providing ongoing professional development for faculty begins with DistrictBoard of Trustees support and direction through the President to the development of specific policies formanagement of funds and the provision for numerous opportunities on campus. The evaluation of eachprofessional development activity includes an assessment of what was learned and an assessment of theusefulness of the activity to improve student learning.SourcesSouth Florida SFCC Community Administrative College Procedure 5011, Staff DevelopmentPage 135 / 202SFCC Administrative Procedure 5011(A), Staff DevelopmentSFCC Administrative Procedure 5011, Staff Development

Besides the College policies and procedures, theFaculty Handbook stipulates the College’s commitment to academic freedom.The District Board of Trustees (DBOT) Policy 3.01 stipulates that faculty members are "free topursue and convey knowledge in their area of special training and expertise, subject to College, state ofFlorida, and federal policies, procedures, laws, and the code of ethics for professional educators." Thepolicy forms the framework for academic freedom at SFCC.SFCC Administrative Procedure 3010 describes the College's stance on academic freedom. Withrespect to on-campus events scheduled under the Division of Cultural Programs, where members of theextended community attend, the procedure explains SFCC’s commitment to the support of freedom ofexpression within the appropriate context of time, place, and manner. While this procedure consultscommunity opinion for some entertainment activities, it is quite clear about academic freedom forfaculty. The limitations extended to community events are not used to govern course-related eventsor activities associated with the academic freedom of individual faculty members. As a consequence ofleadership attitude and guidance in regard to academic freedom, faculty express negligible dissatisfactionwith academic freedom. Any issue that might arise is resolved with the participation of the faculty.The Faculty Handbook also contains a restatement of the DBOT Policy 3.01 and references SFCCAdministrative Procedure 3010.An example of the resolution process that occurs when a concern about academic freedom surfacesSouth Florida Community College Page 136 / 202follows. A syllabus template used by the Division of Arts and Sciences faculty was revised and adoptedwithout the input of all faculty in the division. Secondarily, the Applied Sciences and TechnologiesDivision faculty objected as well and expressed a need to participate in the revision process. As a result,
