On behalf of our Classified Professionals (CP), the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District (GCCCD), with full support from the PD Taskforce, has developed a Professional Development Program for employee-driven professional growth and development. It is designed to retain and support the development of high quality professionals who are as committed to self-service as they are to servicing our District and student communities. The program is intentional in supporting participants by using a framework that allows them to choose the depths at which they explore their career and professional potential.
Our vision is that participants will utilize this program to become practiced in establishing professional goals that meet their specific needs, regardless of where they identify on the professional spectrum (beginning, mid-level, advanced), or how long they’ve been members of our District.
Because PD is typically duty specific, selected by management/leadership and therefore performance based, the employee-driven model is non-traditional. This new program which places the professional in the driver’s seat shifts the District’s culture and requires a collective trust in our employees to know and identify their professional wants and needs. Honoring this shift in practice and how we approach PD, will begin a healing process for those whose growth has felt stifled or controlled by leadership; real or perceived, it will support the practice of equity, and will create a mechanism that displays our investment in the professional growth and development of our Classified employees.
