Our Goals

Craft a training recertification requirement that:

  • Serves all faculty

(motivation versus overwhelm)

  • Keeps us in alignment with codified changes in Title 5

(most recently accessibility & RSI)

  • Continuously improves course quality & student success
  • Is sustainable with our ever-fluctuating budget
