Orientation
Once approval, Fast Forward Instructors will need to attend the Fast Forward Orientation typically held on the third Wednesday in August.
This orientation focuses on policy, procedure and registration process training, navigation of your SUNY Broome My College Account and Fast Forward Administrator Handbook. You will also meet with your SUNY Broome Department for your curriculum orientation, which includes syllabus review, pedagogy, course learning outcomes and assessment methods.
Current Fast Forward Instructors, approved to teach an additional course, will need to attend the discipline specific orientation. We welcome you to attend the morning session if it has been awhile since your new instructor orientation.
Professional Development
The Fast Forward Program provides professional development to its instructors, the second Tuesday evening in November. This event is mandatory for all instructors, new and current. Instructors will receive a certificate recognizing their participation in the event.
