Eastfield College Faculty Handbook

The mission of Eastfield College's Faculty Website is to provide faculty with the information and support needed to optimize their classroom endeavors and responsibilities as they strive to help students succeed in learning. The faculty Website provides two kinds of information to faculty:

• A general introduction to the goals and values that shape the DCCCD and Eastfield College.
• Specific information about what is expected of you and where to go for assistance.

In many cases this information provides only a summary of a longer policy statement or program description. The full statements can be found in the Policies and Procedures Manual (located on the DCCCD's homepage on the World-Wide Web) and other resources which are available to you in the Instructional Division Office to which you are assigned. Unless otherwise indicated, copies of forms mentioned here are also available in the Instructional Division Office.
