Professional Development

Professional Development continues to offer BSI/HSI sponsored workshops. Spring 2010 semester, Dr. Sandra Darling came to Palomar to present a workshop on the role of culture in learning, and on April 2, Dr. Brock Klein from Pasadena City College offered a workshop on Faculty Inquiry Groups.

In addition, the Professional Development Office strives to continually expand and adjust its regular semester workshop schedule to respond to the needs of faculty and students. In Spring 2010, PD workshops were offered on the college experience of Latino/a students, on contemporary Native American culture, on understanding “race,” and on understanding cultural difference through a simulation game. There were seminars on students with disabilities, on understanding mental illness, and on understanding the challenges a media-and-computer saturated student population poses. Every semester, through the staff at Academic Technology, faculty can attend a broad variety of seminars teaching faculty how to integrate various tools into their courses.
