“UConn ECE has provided our students a unique opportunity to challenge themselves with college course work. Every year, students return to tell our staff how well-prepared they are after participating. There is no better testimony for the success of this program.”
The most important responsibility a UConn ECE Instructor has is to teach the UConn course while adhering to the standards set by NACEP and the University’s discipline-specific academic department. Instructors need to be committed to:
1
Support two-way communication with the UConn ECE Program Office and the Faculty Coordinator by reading all information and responding to inquiries in a timely manner.
2
Observe program deadlines and policies including the administration of examinations and the online grading process through the University’s Student Administration System. Policies may vary across disciplines so we ask that you contact the Faculty Coordinator to review these policies.
3
Review and understand all policies found in the Policies & Procedures Guide.
4
Seek and create a college environment in the UConn ECE classroom.
5
Utilizing appropriate UConn electronic resources, such as library databases and the University’s password-protected course management tool, HuskyCT (Blackboard).
6
Maintain certification by attending a minimum of one discipline-specific UConn ECE workshop every two years.
7
Maintain certification by attending a minimum of one discipline-specific UConn ECE workshop every two years.
While high school students are the obvious beneficiaries of the UConn Early College Experience, UConn ECE Instructors are the core of the program.
To assure National Accreditation of Concurrent Enrollment Programs (NACEP) accreditation compliance requirements, continuous collegial interaction between high school and the University is promoted and supported.
