Responding to Concerns of Unprofessional Conduct
You’ve taken the mandatory PRR Skillsoft training. You know it is your responsibility to check things out. Get the specifics on what to do when someone brings you a concern: how to conduct an inquiry, what to do if it is false, what to do if it is true, how to use informal responses, education, and remedial measures to address unprofessional conduct, and when to use sanctions. Learn what to do when you have a concern, what to expect when a concern is about you, and how the appeal process works.

Self-Care for Vicarious Trauma
Learn about vicarious trauma, compassion satisfaction vs. fatigue, burnout, and self-care. Explore barriers to caring for ourselves and how to look at new ways that can be accessible to everyone. As Audre Lorde says, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

FCQ Data Bootcamp, Part 1: Interpreting Instructor-level FCQ Data in the Context of Statistical and Social Biases
Now, more than ever, academic leaders need tools for guiding their units on how to interpret and use FCQ data responsibly and effectively. We will discuss how statistical and social biases can complicate the interpretation of FCQ data. We will then present data tools to better understand FCQ data in the context of social biases. Academic leaders will learn how to use available tools to interpret FCQ data and how to lead constructive conversations about the results.
Part 1 of a 2-part series (you may choose to attend one or both).

We will provide guidance on using other data sources to complement the interpretation of FCQ data. We will also present additional measures for assessing teaching effectiveness at the program level and establishing departmental best practices.
