Curriculum-Instruction-Assessment (CIA) © R. Craig Collins, 2009
The Curriculum-Instruction-Assessment series basically answers the the question: "How can subject matter experts become better teachers?"
Topics will include writing objectives, creating assessments, questioning techniques, etc.
The series is presented by R. Craig Collins, normally monthly on Thursday from 2:00-3:15 in WTC room 522 or 502.
Afterward there is an "open lab" and Q&A time until 4:00 where anyone can come by to get help with computer and software issues, or curriculum issues

Faculty Driven Professional Development Now Online
TCCTA members who have not seen the new, free
online resources available through The Network should
have a look.
The Network is a powerful, new online resource created
for the unique professional development needs of
career and technical education faculty, counselors and
administrators across Texas. By connecting people to
people, institutions, resources and ideas, this visionary
site establishes an innovative, centrally located network
of past and future professional development programs
free of charge. From live training events to on-demand
training modules, The Network pulls together programs
from across the country in one central, easily accessible
clearinghouse for professional development coordinators
and faculty. TCCTA helped spearhead the program.
For an overview video, visit www.txpod.org.
The first site of its kind nationally, this Perkins-funded
project was created with the help of the following
partners: Austin Community College, Dallas County
Community College District, Lone Star College System,
Del Mar College, Midland Community College, the
Foundation for Professional Excellence in the Community
College, STAR LINK, the Northeast Texas Network
(NETnet), the Texas Leadership Alliance, and the Texas
Collaborative for Teaching Excellence.
