Faculty Professional Development and the Vision Resource Center (Cornerstone)

Training materials for the new Vision Resource Center (Cornerstone) system can be found in the Technical Training course FPD module . There are several pages in the module with explanations, instructions, and videos. Information may change as the system matures so please make sure to revisit the module from time to time.

Presenters: 
FPD FACULTY Sign-In Sheet This is a fillable PDF to print and use at your flex event to record FACULTY attendance only. You will need to email the completed sign-in sheet to the Senate Coordinator, at Darlene.OKeeffe@avc.edu, after your event. Your attendees will not receive the proper credit if the sign-in sheet is not turned in. Please ask your attendees to print legibly on the sign-in sheet. If the name cannot be read, then that faculty will lose those hours.

Please print out and use a separate sign-in sheet for students and staff as these should not be turned in. Student/Staff sign-in sheets are for your personal records. Only faculty sign-in sheets should be emailed to the Senate Coordinator.

FPD Change & Cancellation Request Form 24/25 - Use this online form to request changes to OR cancellation of your 24/25 event(s). Please be detailed and specific in the changes needed for your event. 

Attendees:
Be sure to:

  • Use the Vision Resource Center (VRC) Events Calendar to sign up for calendared events by clicking the 'Request' button in the event details.
  • For physical, in-person events: Sign in using the events' physical sign in sheet when you arrive at the venue. Be sure to write legibly so you get the FPD credit you earned.
  • For Zoom sessions: Be sure to sign in using your official AVC Zoom account so that your full name is displayed. Chat is not used for attendance. If your name is not on the Zoom log pulled after the event, we will be unable to record your attendance as there is no documented proof that you indeed attended. If you use a non-AVC Zoom account to sign in, make sure your first and last name is displayed correctly. If it wasn't, email the Senate Coordinator, with the details so she can record your attendance.

AVID

Faculty report greatest satisfaction when opportunities for participation and fellowship are present. Your AVID colleagues are wonderful sources for ideas on how to incorporate these types of strategies into your presentation.
