Employee Recognition and Innovation/Entrepreneur Nominations

Recognize and celebrate the successes and contributions of faculty and staff at CPCC.

Many of our employees are “outstanding performers” and deserve commendation. These six awards are a way for you to recognize your peers for the outstanding job that they do! Nominations may be made by anyone (supervisors, co-workers, peers or departments) connected with the nominee and with CPCC. The six award winners each receive $1,000. For more information view PP#4.15 Employee Recognition or view previous winners on the Learning College web site. There are four employee award categories and two independent award categories.
  • Classified Staff
  • Part-time employee  
  • Instructor
  • Administrator/Professional Staff

Innovation Award and Entrepreneur Award
 These two awards are designed to recognize significant innovation and entrepreneur efforts developed and implemented by College staff/faculty.  The recipient of each award will receive a one-time lump sum payment of $1,000. Each nomination must write a series of brief paragraphs with specific examples explaining how the nomination meets the criteria.  Each characteristic must be addressed before the application can be accepted. 

More information and all nomination forms are located on the Professional Development site.  Multiple letters of support from other co-workers and students help to strengthen the nomination and give the committee members more information. Please email or scan the completed nomination form and all supporting documentation to Libby Vagnoni. Only electronic copies will be accepted.

The deadline for spring nominations is March 24. Spring award winners will be announced by Dr. Zeiss during the August Fall Forum.

 Please help the committee recognize and reward those employees who do so much to ensure the success of our students and who support the efforts of all who work at this College

CPCC Faculty: Get where you want to be in the classroom

Why did you become an instructor? Was it the summers off, the flexible schedule or the free apples? Or was it because you wanted to impact today's youth and contribute to students' personal growth and professional success?

This Spring Semester, CPCC's Professional Development team is offering a series of four, two-hour Outcome Assessment workshops to provide you with the foundational knowledge, understanding and expertise needed to develop meaningful learning outcomes and assessment methods in the classroom that may contribute to your effectiveness as an instructor. They are:

  • Developing Meaningful Learning Outcomes: Laying the Groundwork for Authentic Assessment

  • Assessment for Learning (Part 1): Getting 'Just in Time' Feedback

  • Assessment for Learning (Part 2): Building a Bigger Toolkit, Including Peer and Student Self-Assessment Strategies

  • Rubrics: Guides for Student Learning and Tools for Authentic Assessment

Let our Director of Learning Outcomes Assessment help you better understand the concept of "authentic assessment," analyze your assessment strategies, implement enhanced classroom assessment techniques, develop criteria for student self-assessments and peer assessments, and design and implement rubrics.

To register or to see class descriptions, times and dates, please visit LearnerWeb at http://pd.cpcc.edu. Faculty are welcome to register for any or all of the workshops; completers of all four workshops will receive an "Assessment as Learning" certificate.
