Other Professional Development Opportunities Clause Samples
The 'Other Professional Development Opportunities' clause outlines the rights or provisions for employees to participate in additional training, workshops, or educational programs beyond those specifically required by their role. This clause may specify the types of opportunities available, eligibility criteria, and whether participation is voluntary or supported by the employer, such as through paid time off or reimbursement of expenses. Its core function is to encourage ongoing professional growth and skill enhancement, helping both the employee and employer stay current with industry standards and best practices.
Other Professional Development Opportunities. Consistent with OUS Board Policy and pursuant to the limitations or restrictions applied hereafter, bargaining unit members are eligible to take classes at any OUS institution consistent with the OUS tuition fee reduction program.
Other Professional Development Opportunities a. For information on Master’s+30 course requirements and curriculum development projects, please refer to Article III (SALARY AND OTHER COMPENSATIONS), Sections 3 and 10, respectively; for career exploration leaves refer to Article XIX (LEAVES OF ABSENCE), Section 5a; and for sabbatical leaves refer to Article XX (SABBATICAL LEAVE: EXPLANATION & PROCEDURE).
Other Professional Development Opportunities. (a) The University agrees to support additional Faculty Development opportunities that are not covered under existing sub-sections above to which it will contribute the remaining funds as set forth in Table 17.11.
(b) Webinars and on-line courses are a cost-effective way for an individual or several faculty members to participate in on-line training for a single course, without associated travel costs. Often the lead time for webinars and on-line courses is quite short, so the Faculty Development Committee, in consultation with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/Vice President of Academic Affairs, will develop or revise a short application form to present to the faculty for approval at the November, 2013 faculty meeting, and when necessary for modifications, at every November faculty meeting hereafter. Faculty will submit the form to their Department Chairs, ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Vice-President of Fiscal Affairs for approval. A copy will go to the Faculty Development Committee for their records. Faculty Member(s) will make a short, written report to the Faculty Development Committee and a verbal report on the webinar/on-line course to their department and/or school as appropriate.
(c) Workshops that focus on a specific topic in pedagogy, grant writing, or acquiring new skills (i.e., computer programs or lab techniques) are available off-campus and they can be brought on-campus. Unlike professional conferences, the lead time for workshops may be rather short, so for attendance at off-campus workshops, the Faculty Development Committee, in consultation with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/Vice President of Academic Affairs, will develop or revise a short workshop application form to present to the faculty for approval at the November faculty meeting every year. Faculty will submit the form along with a TAR to their Department Chairs, Deans, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/Vice President of Academic Affairs and Vice President of Fiscal Affairs for approval. A copy will go to the Faculty Development Committee for their records. The travel costs for the workshop will be in addition to the two conferences a faculty member may attend. The faculty member(s) will make a short, written report on the workshop to the Faculty Development Committee and a verbal report to the appropriate venue including the department, school, faculty as a body, or a student group.
