51°µÍø

The CTE Passport is an initiative designed to encourage current and incoming faculty to connect to the 51°µÍø community by attending a variety of events (academic, networking, and cultural) as well as to acknowledge/recognize these efforts by displaying them in a digital passport.

 

Events: A list of all CTE events and activities will be linked to the digital passport itself, but accessible at . Or,

 

Visas: The passport will function like a regular passport and visas will be issued depending on the type of activity a faculty member engages on. If they attend an academic/professional development event, they will earn a STUDENT visa. If they chose to facilitate a workshop for other 51°µÍø faculty, they will earn a WORK visa. If they attend a pedagogical event offered outside the CTE, they will earn their TOURIST visa.

 

Propose a workshop: Faculty interested in facilitating a workshop, book discussion, or any other informative session can propose a workshop via the . The CTE will take care of the workshop location, registration, and marketing. 

 

Reporting: To report attendance to an event external to the CTE offerings, just fill out the . The items requested in the form will be:

·      Full Name [Required]

·      51°µÍø ID [Required]

·      Department [Required]

·      Event Date [Required]

·      Event Name [Required]

·      Event Type [Required] – a list of possible categories will be shared (athletics, cultural/arts, networking, professional development, etc.)

·      A paragraph about what was learned in the experience or what was taught in a workshop [Optional]

 

Accessing Your Passport: All digital passports are housed online at the CTE Passport Directories:

• 2022-2023 CTE Passport Directory

CTE Passport Preview

Upon a faculty submission of an event attendance in the form, the CTE team will digitally add a virtual visa or stamp in one of the passport’s pages with the date of attendance as well as title of event (similar to a traditional passport). Each category of events (e.g. athletics, cultural/arts, networking, professional development, etc.) will have its own color stamp to differentiate them.

 

Planned outcomes for CTE Passport:

• Using a gamified approach to faculty development, we hope that faculty are encouraged to attend several CTE and campus events at 51°µÍø.
• At the end of the year, faculty are able to share the link to their passports to department chairs to show professional development and 51°µÍø community envolvement efforts.
• Through the new NTT promotion guidelines, attendance and leadership with CTE can count toward promotion. The passports will allow faculty to showcase how involved they have been.
• Faculty with the highest number of events/activities attended will be recognized at CTE events (e.g. TES) and receive a small prize for their efforts.
