ASCCC CTE Faculty Engagement Efforts CTE Liaisons to local academic senates: At the Spring 2015, delegates passed Resolution 17.02 urging “local academic senates to identify a CTE faculty member to act as a liaison to facilitate communication among local CTE faculty, the local academic senate, and the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges.” At the time of this event, there are 62 colleges with active CTE liaisons.

ASCCC CTE Faculty Engagement Efforts ASCCC CTE Leadership Institute provides faculty with opportunities to engage in key policy conversations through their interaction with representatives of the Strong Workforce task force, by learning about the implications of policy decisions on local programs and courses, and in participating in breakout sessions to better understand the college processes including topics on leadership, curriculum design, course repetition, and effective program advocacy.
