YCCD Strategic Professional Development
The college has identified several sources of funds for professional development for faculty, professional support staff and administrators. Professional Development is strategically and frequently offered for staff, faculty and administrators and is aligned with the college’s strategic goals, needs and priorities identified in integrated plans, program review, and other intentional processes. Many of these professional developed opportunities are funded by Guided Pathways. Some of these projects include but are not limited to:
- POP Peer Observation Pool
- Teaching Test Kitchen
- Leading from the Middle Academy
The YFA Contract includes YCCD-YFA Approved Guidelines for Professional Improvement information and request forms (Document pgs.92-97)

Institutional Innovation and Effectiveness Plan
The Request for IEPI-PRT Funds form may be used to request funding for a project to fulfill the goals of the “Institutional Innovation and Effectiveness Plan” – the end result of the Partnership Resource Team (PRT) visits to Columbia College in Fall 2016, Spring 2017, and Fall 2017, funded through the Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative (IEPI) from the state chancellor’s office. Funding must be tied directly to specific Areas of Focus, Goals, and Objectives of the plan.
Approval must be obtained in advance to access these funds. Upon approval, the funds may be expended through direct payments (reimbursed by receipt) and/or normal district pre-pay and purchasing procedures. While there is no cost limit per project, applicants should review the overall budget and submit reasonable requests.
