Classroom observations help to ensure that college courses offered through College Connections are consistent with those taught on campus. They also offer the opportunity for collegial interaction between campus and College Connections instructors. Faculty liaisons conduct classroom observations the first two times a course is offered and then at the discretion of the liaison. At minimum, a classroom observation is completed once every three years, which is consistent with JCC’s classroom observation policy for part-time faculty.

Faculty liaisons complete classroom observation reports for each visit and submit them to the College Connections office. During semesters in which classroom observations do not occur, it is expected that faculty liaisons maintain close communication with their instructors through phone, email, and informal visits. This communication is documented in a course oversight form. Fall observation forms and course oversight forms are due by February 28; full year and spring observation forms or course oversight forms are due by July 31.
