Center for Organizational Success

Strengthening Delta's Culture of Learning

The COS and FCTE provides resources and support for professional development for all faculty and staff. We offer workshops, retreats, instructional support, coaching and mentoring. Inside the COS you will find the Technology Idea Center which offers a variety of hardware and software to serve faculty and staff computing needs.

Intellectual and Emotional Stimulation

• We see staff members engaged in cross-training within departments and across divisions…
• We envision a place that embraces work-life balance and reinforces that employees take time for professional growth.
• We see a development center where the coffee pot is always on and the doors are open a variety of hours.
• We see individuals engaged in one-on-one coaching sessions and small group feedback circles.
• We hear people laughing, questioning, and arguing… It is a school, a family, a social hub.
• We envision a center for teaching and learning that serves the professional development needs of all faculty and staff at Delta College.
