Welcome to the central source for information about the Virginia Community College System Office of Professional Development. Our opportunities are available to the faculty, administration, and staff of the VCCS and are second to none.
This vibrant state-wide program was started in 1992-1993 to promote faculty development in the following areas:
 - builds knowledge and skills within the academic discipline or professional speciality.
- improves classroom teaching, learning, and assessment techniques.
provides tools for effective personal planning to improve the quality of work and life. - enhances administrative and leadership skills to fulfill the institutional mission of the community college.
Please take a moment to look through our offerings listed on the left and see what the system can do for you. In June 2006 the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) initiated an assessment of the system-level Professional Development (PD) program to determine its effectiveness and future directions. This assessment, conducted by Caliber is designed to provide VCCS leaders with the information they need to make decisions about the future of the PD program.
Goals of the current assessment were to describe the processes and activities currently in place to accomplish the program mission, assess employees’ participation in system-level PD activities as well as other PD activities, assess current professional development needs of VCCS employees, begin to assess the impact of PD (including impact on participant satisfaction, student learning, and retention), define the desired program outcomes, begin to develop strategies for measuring these outcomes, and begin to benchmark the VCCS professional development program with those of other systems.
