Criteria for Approving Professional Development Activities Sample Clauses

Criteria for Approving Professional Development Activities. The PDAs included in the plan will be approved if: 7.4.2.1 The activity meets the professional growth objectives as established in the plan. 7.4.2.2 The activity is relevant to presently or potentially assigned responsibilities of the faculty member. As activities listed in the PDP are completed the faculty member will submit proof of completion to the appropriate administrator. Faculty members are encouraged to maintain a copy of their PDP and completed PDAs in their own professional development file. Examples of PDA that may be used alone or in a combination to meet the professional growth objectives established in the plan include but are not limited to: workshops, conferences, back-to-industry experiences, research, projects, or college coursework. Note: The PDA will be evaluated on the basis of meeting the objectives established by the faculty member in collaboration with the appropriate administrator, not on the basis of the time spent on the activity. However, it is understood that activities that satisfy the PDP will not create an undue or excessive burden for the faculty.
