Faculty PD
Red Deer Polytechnic instructors are required and expected to engage in a variety of non-teaching activities which contribute toward their own ongoing professional development and toward the RDP community.
These activities will occur over the academic year excluding approved vacation periods. Relevant professional development activities are those that serve to strengthen pedagogical, academic, and professional currency and capability. Such activities may include discipline scholarship, scholarship of teaching, study, research, workshops, conferences and other activities that may enhance professional or teaching capabilities. Professional development activities are a provision of the Faculty Association of Red Deer College (FARDC) Collective Agreement and administered by the PD Committee.
Resources:
- Faculty PD Guidebook
- Faculty PD Committee Terms of Reference
- Professional Development Forms (refer to section "F" for Faculty, once you are on the Forms webpage)
- More information is available for faculty through the PD Channel in the Loop
