Faculty Coordinator Responsibilities

  • Review instructor certification applications with assistance of their department
  • Develop a collegial relationship with UConn ECE Instructors
  • Be a liaison between their University Department and the UConn ECE Community
  • Lead professional development opportunities for UConn ECE Instructors
  • Perform site visits to partner high schools to report on the status of the program
  • Serve as the primary contact for all discipline-specific course-related concerns
  • Ensure each UConn ECE course offered in the high school is comparable to the same course offered at the University*

*Standards may vary significantly across departments. Faculty Coordinators will ask instructors to adhere to discipline-specific course standards as needed in order to provide course comparability. Although some procedures may reflect the individual choices of a Faculty Coordinator and their department, the UConn ECE Program Office is ultimately responsible for final decisions on all program policies.
