Professional Improvement Resource Team

The Professional Improvement Resource Team (PIRT) is an advisory committee for faculty who seek assistance in drafting, developing or revising their Professional Improvement Plans (PIP). The committee will also verify that the PIP is consistent with promotion expectations and needs no further review. The committee shall publish appropriate timetables, procedures, and other material to facilitate faculty professional improvement at Central Oregon Community College. The committee is part of the approval process for sabbaticals and selects the recipients of the Faculty Achievement Awards.

For more information on the PIRT, please refer to the General Procedure Manual.
