LCC/CTE Learning Scholars Program
Goal
To acknowledge faculty, staff and administrators who choose to enhance their knowledge and skills in the areas of teaching, learning and instructional technology by participating in CTE offerings.
Why Participate
The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) offers over 100 different learning opportunities a year. Based on your participation, the Learning Scholars Program will recognize your learning endeavors by awarding different levels of membership. Membership will be recognized in a PowerPoint presentation during the annual Faculty Appreciation Day event in mid-April where participants will receive a special Certificate of Membership.
Becoming a Member
Beginning Summer Semester 2009, membership in the LCC/CTE Learning Scholars Program is open to all faculty, staff, and administrators. Memberships are continuous and hours accumulate from year-to-year based on participation in CTE learning opportunities. The CTE will track participation hours for each person through March 31st of every academic year and award a category of membership based on the level of participation.
Please note: Only participation in CTE offerings beginning Summer Semester 2009 and after will be considered towards membership.

CTE Workshops: 1 hour of participation = 1 hour toward membership
January Professional Activity Days: every 1 hour of participation = 1 hour toward membership (applicable to part-time faculty only)
