Credentialing Overview What is faculty credentialing, and why is it important? Faculty credentialing is a process that ensures faculty are qualified to teach in their subject area. It is important because we want quality faculty. It is a vital part of our accreditation process for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
5
Credentialing Overview What usually qualifies a person to teach? In most cases, a person’s educational background determines what they can teach. In some vocational areas, a person’s professional experience and certain licensures are also needed to qualify.
6
Credentialing Overview Who should be credentialed to teach? All persons who have direct instructional activity in a class must be credentialed, including primary and secondary instructors. Non-employees who teach through an agency or contract must also be credentialed – please see the web page at http://www.pbcc.edu/acsv/nonemployee.asp http://www.pbcc.edu/acsv/nonemployee.asp
7
PBCC Credentialing Manual In 2003-2004, the associate deans, deans and VPAA developed credentialing criteria for every course taught at PBCC. This manual must be used to compare the faculty member’s qualifications to the PBCC standard for that course.
8
PBCC Credentialing Manual The Credentialing Manual is available on-line at: http://www.pbcc.edu/acsv/credentialmanual.asp and in effect for the 2004- 2005 Academic Year, and will be used as written.
9
The Credentialing Process The process of credentialing and loading of instructors to classes must occur in the following sequence: Prepare Faculty Roster Submit to Dean’s Council for approval (credit/prep/PSAV) or Associate Dean/Dean for CWE/Avocational. If approved, send to Academic Services for loading onto PantherNet
10
Timelines and Sequence Why is the sequence important? Faculty should have all credentials reviewed and approved PRIOR to being hired to teach. In the new Instructor Resource Management (IRM) system, instructors must be credentialed and loaded to a class PRIOR to being reported to Human Resources via a Personnel Action Form.
11
Prepare Faculty Roster The Faculty Roster is a summary document that details an instructor’s qualifications The document includes: –Degrees earned –Graduate courses that qualify a person to teach –Licensure and certifications –Relevant professional experience –Proposed courses to be taught –Faculty Roster is available on-line at: http://www.pbcc.edu/cia/alc/faculty_roster.doc http://www.pbcc.edu/cia/alc/faculty_roster.doc
12
Approval – Credit, Prep and PSAV The Dean’s Council and VPAA must review and approve any faculty member proposed to teach in any credit, prep or PSAV course.
13
Approval – Credit, Prep and PSAV Step 1 – Fill-out faculty roster* Step 2 – Forward roster via a voting email to the Dean’s Council and VPAA for review. The council members will vote (Dr. Sass and a majority of the deans must vote “approve.”) * For detailed instructions on how to create a roster and email vote, please see the web page at http://www.pbcc.edu/acsv/vote.asphttp://www.pbcc.edu/acsv/vote.asp
14
Approval (cont’d) Step 3 – If approved, send email voting results and faculty roster form to credential@pbcc.educredential@pbcc.edu Step 4 – Faculty credentials will be loaded to PantherNet by Academic Services staff.
15
Approval – CWE and Avocational Step 1 – Associate Dean or Dean sends a completed Faculty Roster to credential@pbcc.educredential@pbcc.edu Step 2 – Faculty Credentials will be loaded to PantherNet by Academic Services staff.
16
Role of Academic Services Academic Services staff DOES NOT re-review the approved Faculty Roster as to the instructor’s qualifications to teach. Academic Services staff will be the only college staff who have security access to add or modify credentials on the PantherNet system. Credentials will be loaded immediately following receipt of the approval email and faculty roster.
