If you teach part-time here or at any Maryland college or university, no matter what position you hold here at Montgomery College, you are encouraged to participate this month in a state-wide survey of your professional development needs and resources. This on-line survey for both credit and non-credit part-time faculty is being conducted during April by the Maryland Consortium of Adjunct Faculty Professional Development (MCAPD). It is a follow-up to a survey conducted by MCAPD in 2005-2006, the results of which led directly to the creation of MCAPD's state-wide part-time faculty professional development conferences held each fall since 2007.
Montgomery College is a member of MCAPD and many MC faculty, staff, and administrators have attended and presented at these conferences over the years. Results from this survey will be shared with participating colleges across the state and will be particularly useful here at Montgomery College.
Your participation is voluntary, but can provide very important and helpful information. For that reason, you are strongly encouraged to take the survey. The survey takes only about 10 minutes to complete and your answers will be anonymous. If you choose to participate in the survey, please use the following web address to begin: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ixAsa0injphwfxN_2bKuBYRA_3d_3d
If you teach at more than one Maryland college or if you attended last year's conference, you may be asked by several different entities to participate in the survey. Please take the survey only once - it is designed to capture relevant information about each institution and report it appropriately.
If you have any questions, please contact Don Smith at don.smith@montgomerycollege.edu.
If you would like to know more about MCAPD or the fall professional development conferences, please check out the MCAPD web site: http://ola.aacc.edu/mcapd/
Thank you for your participation.
