ENGLISH RESOURCE

http://sophia.hccs.edu/english

This website features a collaborative effort, by HCC English faculty, to create a central location for resources pertaining to the teaching of English.

The English Resource Web was designed to encourage communication and innovation among composition professors. Whether you are a veteran or a newbie, you are sure to find something you haven't seen before. The site offers everything from sample assignments to information on administrative issues.

HCC SOUTHEAST SCHOLARSHIP OF LEARNING COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

SECASTL, Southeast College Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, evolved as a result of this college's status as an affiliate of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Campus Program. Dr. Jane Cirillo and Dr. Cammy Shay from HCC-SE initiated this affiliation and act as coordinators. With fellowships from the Title V program they created a WebCT site that constitutes the central location for the HCC SECSTL Community of Practice which facilitates innovation, partnerships, student success, research and exchange of knowledge amongst faculty.
