4faculty.org
is a website and series of courses designed specifically
for the needs of community college faculty. This project
was launched by eleven community colleges in the fall
of 1999. More than 200 faculty, administrators and technical
staff have contributed to this site. Each of us hopes
that the materials you find here will help to make your
community college teaching experience even more successful.
We also believe that careful preparation, an understanding
of who our students are and how they learn will make it
possible for us to reach students more effectively, enhancing
their learning experience and facilitating their long
term learning goals.
Member
colleges utilize this site to communicate their policies,
procedures and share teaching and learning materials with
their faculty. Many colleges have chosen to share their
materials. Throughout the site you'll find ideas that
may help you or your college avoid reinventing the wheel.
We
hope you'll find this site helpful, that you'll share
your ideas for effective teaching and learning, and that
you'll return here frequently throughout your career to
find new materials and new ideas.
