Most Faculty Commons workshops advancing teaching, learning and assessment frameworks and methodologies offer participants the opportunity to earn a stipend. The workshops with a stipend available may include such activities as scholarly reading, reflective writing, curriculum revision, lesson planning, classroom observations, or presentations. Stipends are a flat rate and are tied to deliverables and hours. In ctcLink, the flat rate amounts are translated to hourly amounts out of administrative necessity. To receive the stipend, participants must be a current BC faculty member and successfully complete the course and its activities, as well as provide feedback in the form of a course evaluation.
Instructors may take a workshop more than once but will receive a stipend only once per workshop. A current faculty member is defined as faculty with a teaching, library, athletics, developmental lab, or counseling assignment for the quarter in which the workshop is completed or, for summer only, a current faculty member is defined as full-time or adjunct faculty with a teaching, library, athletics, developmental lab, or counseling contract in the previous academic year who expect to receive a teaching, library, athletics, developmental lab, or counseling contract with BC in the upcoming academic year. Employees designated as staff, and faculty with sole contracts in Continuing Education, College in the High School, or the J-1 Visiting Scholars Program are not eligible for Faculty Commons stipends, with the exception of New Faculty Orientation stipends for Continuing Education faculty.
To be eligible to receive a stipend, you may be asked to show that you meet these requirements.
