Faculty Development

Quality Faculty Plan

In 2001, prompted by the Iowa legislature, faculty and administrators at DMACC collaborated to create the initial Quality Faculty Plan (QFP). The legislature's directive was clear: local boards, not the State of Iowa, should oversee the quality of faculty in community colleges. Each of the fifteen community colleges, including DMACC, was tasked with developing a plan that met local needs while adhering to accreditation standards set by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and the Iowa State Department of Education.

The development of the Quality Faculty Plan at DMACC demonstrates a dedication to continuous improvement to meet the needs of faculty and students. By adhering to accreditation bodies and remaining attuned to emerging research, DMACC ensures its faculty are prepared to provide high-quality education. The updated QFP reflects the institution's commitment to excellence and its ongoing pursuit of academic rigor. View our current Quality Faculty Plan.

Faculty can review the current plan and submit plan requirements via their EDGE Dashboard.
