Professional Growth Credit for Column Movement. The District and the UFO support continuing education and training for faculty. Further, the District and the UFO agree that faculty who participate in continuing education improve student learning, and add value to the Ohlone College experience. Supporting and recognizing faculty who improve their skills through continuing education are shared goals. Therefore, the District and the UFO agree, as follows: Full-time faculty, with Vice President Instruction's consent, who successfully complete lower and upper division, graduate level, C.E.U., or other courses, will receive credit for salary column (class) movement. Courses which are eligible for salary column movement must improve the faculty's teaching skills, abilities, and knowledge. In addition, education and training courses, for current course offerings and approved future course offerings, must clearly support the faculty's ability to educate their students. Education and training for anticipated but not approved course offerings may also qualify.
