**CASCADIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE:**
--I have taught community college in two other states and this state's support for professional development for community college faculty is far and away the highest I have experienced. I do not know if it is the system, state funding, grant funding,motivated people, or a combination of all of the above,but I have developed more in my single year in Washington than in the five years I spent teaching community college in Nevada and Colorado. ||  ||   ||   || ...Continuing to encourage all participants to document and share their work online so that everyone can benefit from this valuable project. Anything that can be done to streamline recording the corpus of work as it continues to grow would be most helpful. || --Copious team time is/was appreciated - I think we had productive, unhurried planning discussions. --I want to thank you for the invitation to participate in this institute as a guest institution! ||  ||   ||   || ...asking presenters to include interactive presentations, if possible. (I will be more sensitive to my own classroom presentation lengths.) || --The wonderful professional development on Faculty Inquiry groups and time to develop a plan for our FIG beginning this fall. --The exposure to CATs and Classroom Exchanges and tools to use with our FIG - we plan to use both. --The time to get to know/bond/learn from/etc. my fellow teammates in a gorgeous, distraction-free setting. --Thanks for inviting us to be here - I really valued the experience. ||  ||   ||   || ...keeping us connected to all this work - we are really committed to better serving our developmental students. ||
