Southwestern Community College
recently received funding to continue
its work as the Western Regional
Center for Excellence in Teaching
and Learning. SCC is one of three
regional centers which are part
of the North Carolina Community
College System’s statewide
NC-NET initiative.
This year’s grant brings
the six-year funding total to
$215,000, according to Laura Pennington,
SCC’s director of community
and resource development.
The North Carolina Network for Excellence
in Teaching is designed to support
high-quality teaching at the 58
community colleges in North Carolina,
Pennington said.
"Our focus is on community
college teaching and learning,
as well as leadership and professional
development,” Pennington
said.
The North Carolina Network for
Excellence in Teaching was established
in 2003 as a cost-effective statewide
infrastructure for the development
and delivery of faculty professional
development.
"One of the good things
about it,” said Putman,
“is that it helps North
Carolina community colleges share
resources and avoid duplication.
We can collaborate and network
among the colleges. Plus, it works
two-fold. We let faculty know
what’s available out there
for them as well as respond to
their requests of what they need.
"By utilizing a resource-rich
and interactive web portal, faculty
across the state can learn about
conferences/training opportunities,
access face-to-face and on-line
seminars, chat with other instructors
across the state via discussion
boards, and search for ‘best
practice’ resources through
an interactive database. We also
have a library collection of text,
video and other materials showcasing
effective teaching practices that
is available for inter-library
loan through WebCat.”
