The Langara Educational Excellence Scholarship Fund was approved. This fund was established through the efforts of the Langara Faculty Association. POLICY ON INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT 1. As professionals, all instructors are expected to maintain and to enhance competence in their field of instruction, in order to ensure that skills and knowledge are current. 2. Normally the maintenance and enhancement of competence is pursued on a continuous basis, through course development, reading, participation in professional or trade workshops, pursuit of further studies, visits to organizations that employ VCC graduates and similar activities. • While the initiative for self development rests with the instructor, the College will be as supportive as possible. 3. When considering proposals for the utilization of non- teaching duty time, the College may require individual instructors to undertake development activities whose objective is the maintenance and enhancement of competence in one's field of instruction. LIn accordance with 3, all instructors are expected to take into account current and anticipated changes affecting the practice of their discipline in the formulation of self develop¬ ment plans. 5. Occasionally, and in particular when dealing with extremely fast changes or quantum jumps in technology, the College may provide assistance beyond the normal professional development leave in order to assist individual instructors in fulfilling their responsiblity for self development. PROCEDURES To be developed by campus. ASM/jee 1983 July U
