Terre Haute Campus

Introduction

Faculty have the most direct impact on student success and act as a bridge between academic and workforce offerings. As an open-access institution, the classroom experience must innovate and adapt to the diverse needs of learners. Ivy Tech is committed to investing in the development of our faculty. Ivy Tech will expand skills and practices by leveraging technologies, modalities, instructional practices, training, and other means outlined in our strategies.

• Strategy 1: Ensure courses are offered in modalities that best lead to student success.
• Strategy 2: Create a culture of instructional excellence and student engagement.
• Strategy 3: Focus on gateway courses where first-attempt course pass rates are low.

Ivy Tech is Indiana’s workforce engine and must innovate and rapidly respond to employer needs, economic changes, and workforce requests.

Students – both current and future – will be informed of Indiana’s diverse career opportunities and empowered to succeed with in-demand careers.

• Strategy 1: Proactively evolve curriculum and skills training to meet projected workforce needs.
