Faculty Development
DMACC transitioned to a new TIU reporting system in August 2024. Current faculty employees will be onboarded in three waves from August 2024 through July 2027. Faculty who are not yet active in the new system should retain records of their professional learning activities until they are onboarded. The new system can be accessed HERE. The former TIU system will sunset in July 2027—faculty will still be able to view previous TIU entries but will no longer be able to enter new data. For questions, please contact Gretchen Price at gcprice@dmacc.edu.
In 2001, prompted by the Iowa legislature, faculty and administrators at DMACC collaborated to create the initial Quality Faculty Plan (QFP). The legislature's directive was clear: local boards, not the State of Iowa, should oversee the quality of faculty in community colleges. Each of the fifteen community colleges, including DMACC, was tasked with developing a plan that met local needs while adhering to accreditation standards set by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and the Iowa State Department of Education.
The development of the Quality Faculty Plan at DMACC demonstrates a dedication to continuous improvement to meet the needs of faculty and students. By adhering to accreditation bodies and remaining attuned to emerging research, DMACC ensures its faculty are prepared to provide high-quality education. The updated QFP reflects the institution's commitment to excellence and its ongoing pursuit of academic rigor. View our current Quality Faculty Plan.
