Here is a brief explanation of what each day entails:
MONDAY: Theme Day!
All sessions will be connected to the theme Building the Bridge: Cultivating Relations to Promote Improved Student Outcomes. Only proposals connected to the theme will be chosen for the first day.
TUESDAY: Assessment Tuesday!
In addition to the usual morning presentations about what’s new and next in assessment at the College, Tuesday afternoon is for presentations from you related to the five Middle States Guiding Principles. The categories are broad, which allows for many ways to approach assessment under these Guiding Principles:
- Mission-Centric (i.e., Mission of the College)
- Centrality of the Student Experience
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
- Data-Based Decision-Making
- Innovation
WEDNESDAY: Meeting Day!
The day will begin with the Academic and Student Success Division meeting followed by departmental meetings. Union meetings, program meetings and others will take place throughout the rest of the day.
THURSDAY: Mix n Match Day!
Sessions will consist of varying formats: 1-hour presentations to share data-informed ideas ready for implementation; 30-minute presentations where you can share an innovative idea; 10-minute slam for a quick update or a message that you wish to share. Proposals can be for any of the mentioned formats.
July 29 is the deadline to submit proposals.
Mission Statement
The mission of Community College of Philadelphia's professional development efforts is to improve and sustain excellence in teaching and learning, and the professional growth of all employees through collegial, planned learning opportunities that support the strategic goals of the college.

Proposal Ideas:
The theme for the Fall 2024 PD Week is: Building the Bridge: Cultivating Relationships to Promote Improved Student Outcomes.
The Fall theme will focus on ways CCP can strengthen its synergies, communication and cross-functional handoffs which will help students succeed. By engaging in and learning about the work being done throughout the College and best practice approaches, faculty and staff will become champions of the student experience.
