course outline includes a grading scale and the Department Chair is responsible for coordinating the use of the same textbook. There is flexibility in how faculty meet the required outcomes identified in the course outline and each course must have a syllabus which identifies how the individual faculty member will run their course. Faculty are also protected by Academic Freedom policies in the CBA which allow for flexibility and personalization of each class offered. Academic Advising Throughout the three RVCC academic locations there are 1.5 Academic Advisors dedicated to advising General Studies students, which includes students who are undecided, and non-matriculated students; and one part-time advisor dedicated to Liberal Arts students. Program Directors and Department Chairs are also responsible for academic advising according to the program maps which have been created for each major at the College. Students are assigned an advisor upon acceptance to the College and they are provided with their advisor’s name and contact information in their acceptance letter. Each semester there are set Academic Advising Weeks which coincide with the distribution of the schedule for the following semester. Prior to the Academic Advising Week, fliers are posted throughout the College and emails are sent out from the Students Success Centers as well as directly from advisors to ensure that students are aware of upcoming advising and registration dates. All advisors have access to the advising manual which was updated in 2018 as well as access to the program maps via Canvas. Academic Advising is assessed as part of the Graduate Satisfaction Survey provided to graduating seniors. Scholarship & Research There are CCSNH policies that support scholarship, research and creative activities. The full-time faculty contract states up to 5% of full-time faculty’s job can be used for professional growth and development (Article X). This allowance is most frequently used by faculty in the Allied Health and Health Science programs. Two of the three Physical Therapist Assistant faculty, both of the Occupational Therapy Assistant faculty, and all faculty (full-time and adjunct) in the Massage Therapy program take time during the school year for clinical practice. Faculty also use this time to pursue advanced degrees. Recently, the Computer Technology faculty member earned his Master’s degree, the Math faculty member is in the process of earning his Doctoral Degree, and both OTA faculty members are enrolled in graduate programs (one Doctoral and one Master’s). The contract also outlines the policy that allows a faculty member to request either a paid or unpaid educational leave (Article XXV). The adjunct faculty contract does not include release time for professional growth and development nor for educational leaves (but does cover leaves for temporary disability, military service and civil duty). 90 | P a g e
Policies also exist to support formal research. CCSNH Policy 690.09 Protocols for Research in the Classroom identifies who may serve as research investigators, privacy requirements, oversight responsibilities, and the required elements in a written research proposal. Appraisal of Teaching & Learning Faculty at RVCC are dedicated to providing quality, relevant course materials. The use of Canvas helps to incorporate technology into all coursework and faculty at RVCC work hard to ensure that college courses are delivered at a high level regardless of if they are online, hybrid, or face to face courses. The majority of funding for faculty training comes through Perkins funding, however in recent years, Perkins funding has not been available to every eligible program. In AY16- 17, under the Interim President, the Perkins Funding approach was drastically changed to a collaborative model that included Program Directors for all relevant programs. Program Directors met to discuss programmatic needs and the grant proposal was based on collaborative decision making, with an impartial grant manager to oversee the process. This new process led to a much more transparent distribution of funding and in Fall of 2018, eight programs (Business Management, Early Childhood Education, Massage, Respiratory Therapy, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Technician, Phlebotomy, and Physical Therapist Assistant) were able to buy equipment or utilize Perkins funding for professional development. While this process has greatly improved the equality of funding distribution, it does not address all concerns related to professional development and training as not all programs or divisions are eligible for Perkins funding. As the budget stabilizes, the College will draft a formal Professional Development process by which faculty who do not qualify for Perkins funding can access professional development activities. Projections: By Fall 2019, the VPAA and Department Chairs will make a recommendation to revise the College’s current advising model to include all faculty and incorporate Degree Works into advising processes. By Spring 2020 the Department Chairs will draft a formal recommendation for a Professional Development process and present it to the VPAA. 91 | P a g e
