Welcome from the Vice Chancellor
Dear Instructional Council Members,
Welcome to the new Instructional Council (IC) Guide! The
development of this web site and guide was recommended
by the District Curriculum Committee Ad Hoc Work Group in
Spring 2005. I am delighted
to present the work of a dedicated group of faculty who
worked during the Summer 2005 to produce the guide. The purpose
for the IC Guide
is to provide policies, guidelines, services, and resources
to support the Maricopa’s Instructional Councils.
Instructional Councils are a significant faculty component of the District-wide
Curriculum, Articulation and General Education policies and processes.
Your role as an IC member is vital because you influence and impact these
essential areas. ICs are called upon throughout the entire continuum
from the inception of courses and programs through the finished process,
which include course equivalencies and articulated programs.
Please accept my sincerest thanks for taking on the responsibility as
an IC member. I hope that you find these resources helpful
as you engage in these critical roles and responsibilities.
Your dedicated efforts
toward the teaching and learning process translate to the
continuing success of Maricopa Community College students.
The staff of the Academic
Affairs Division and I are committed to serve and support
the ICs and the work that you do.
Sincerely,
Maria Harper-Marinick, Ph.D.
Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
