Academic oversight is provided by faculty liaisons that are appointed by their respective academic departments. Faculty liaisons are the link between high school and college faculty; they help bridge the gap between high school and college classroom experiences. Faculty liaisons help CU Succeed ensure that its courses meet HLC and NACEP standards by 1) cultivating meaningful relationships with CU Succeed, 2) fostering a culture of collaboration that strengthens the individual and collective instructional practices of teachers and department faculty, and 3) promoting continuous improvement of teaching and learning.
Faculty Liaison Responsibilities
The responsibilities of faculty liaisons are oversight activities required by NACEP and HLC require to ensure that CU Succeed courses are equivalent to their on-campus counterparts with respect to rigor and quality. These oversight activities include:
- new instructor review and approval
- new instructor training
- syllabi review
- classroom observations/site visits
- assessment of learning
- professional development
Documentation and Reporting: Liaisons are responsible for maintaining records of the department’s oversight activities and submitting reports on these activities to the CU Succeed Office. All reports are maintained in the department and submitted by the end of each CU Succeed Academic Year, which begins on September 1 and ends on August 30.
