Career Technical Education - Faculty Liaison
The Academic Senate for California Community College is actively seeking to build a stronger CTE faculty voice in response to the 2015 Board of Governors Task Force on Workforce, Job Creation, and a Strong Economy recommendations. During the 2015 Spring Plenary, the statewide Senate body approved Resolution 17.02 S15 establishing the CTE Faculty Liaison position.
In response to , the ASCCC Executive Committee approved the following expectations for CTE faculty liaisons appointed by local senate presidents. These expectations are only suggestions that local senates should consider when selecting a faculty member. The Executive Committee understands that many local senates, and faculty in general, have limited resources and time; thus, liaisons can do as little or as much as they have time and resources.
There are, however, two most basic expectations for the CTE Faculty liaison: 1) sign up for the ASCCC CTE listserv; and 2) communicate with their local senate, local campus CTE faculty, and noncredit faculty regarding statewide CTE conversations relevant to his/her college.
