College-Sponsored Opportunities

Delaware County Community College provides many paths to enhance an individual’s professional development both in and out of the classroom. Here is a sampling of the opportunities afforded you through the Center to Promote Excellence in Teaching and Learning.

Faculty Institute

Join us every May for a two-day immersion in a current educational topic chosen by faculty. All full- and part-time faculty, staff, and administrators are invited to participate; the Faculty Institute is also open to other interested faculty at surrounding colleges.

Professional Development Sessions

Looking for information about the latest technology and its use in the classroom, instructional design, or classroom management techniques? Contact the Center to arrange for an individual session or look for scheduled training — we can help you grow professionally!

Distance Learning Institutes

Every summer, the Center offers online learning institutes and modules to help anyone interested in digital learning pedagogy, ranging from hybrid to fully online instruction. 

In-Service Opportunities

All in-service professional development workshops are open to all College employees, full- and part-time. Please see the specific in-service schedules on delaGATE; they are issued in August, October, January, and February.

Faculty Fellows

An integral part of professional development is a faculty member’s individual understanding of the various roles he or she assumes within the institution; these interests and assumed responsibilities often extend outside the classroom. If you are interested in working on a specific institutional project or are interested in assuming some responsibilities that may be more administrative in nature, Faculty Fellows may be a great choice for you!
