**NORTH SEATTLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE:**
--Bringing the faculty together on a common project, campus-side and state-wide. --Learning from other faculty, colleges, etc. ||  ||   ||   || ...to have more team time built into these events (I felt like it was the most productive part of the event). || --This project has created time & space for meaningful, thoughtful time with my colleagues. not something we usually get when teaching our individual courses. ||  ||   ||   || ...more team time during retreats to work on the project tasks they already know to do, without new work introduced. || --Sharing ideas on resource bank problems and CATs ||  ||   ||   || ...more opportunities for in-person cross-college conversations. ||

 * --Time to work with my colleagues and get down to brass tacks on planning for improvements. I think that these three components (Formative Ass. FIG, classroom observations) are pieces of institutional excellence that I have always wanted but never had an opportunity to experience. If this project accomplishes just one of these structures successfully, then i will be very happy. I'm hopeful that all 3 can be accomplished. ||  ||   ||   || ...[blank] ||
 * --Having time to work with other from my school and others in developing our action plan for this next year. It was especially helpful to hear from people __outside__ our department (other schools, guest speakers, Washington Center) in helping our team focus our questions and goals. ||  ||   ||   || ...giving more time for teams to work independently. I felt that the first two days consisted of too many talks and we were in too much of a passive role. While I thoroughly enjoyed all of the talks, the schedule could be rearranged so as to keep the energy level high. ||
 * --Enthusiasm (renewed)
