National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships The University of Maine at Fort Kent’s Rural U program is working toward accreditation by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). NACEP works to ensure that college courses taught by high school teachers are as rigorous as courses offered on the sponsoring college campus. As the sole accrediting body for concurrent enrollment partnerships, NACEP helps these programs adhere to the highest standards so students experience a seamless transition to college and teachers benefit from meaningful, ongoing professional development. For more information, visit their website at: http: //www. nacep. org/

New Course Orientation Newly certified Rural U Concurrent Enrollment faculty are required to participate in the Rural U program orientation, which includes the course specific orientation, prior to teaching a new Rural U course. The purpose of this course orientation is to allow the faculty member to become familiar with the course prior to teaching. Rural U Concurrent Enrollment faculty will also have the opportunity to discuss the course with college faculty prior to teaching the course. Click here to visit our website

Site Visits 1. A faculty liaison from UMFK will conduct a site visit every 3 years. 2. During this visit, the faculty liaison may ask to see examples of exams, lab activities, and any other artifacts that will aid in determining if the course outcomes are being achieved. 3. An observation form will be shared with the Rural U Concurrent Enrollment faculty upon completion of the visit and may outline recommendations for improvements. 4. It is important to note, site visits are not an evaluation of you as a teacher. Site visits are conducted to determine if the course being taught is equivalent to the on-campus course.

Annual Discipline – Specific Meeting 1. Per NACEP standards – UMFK will host annual, discipline-specific professional development activities on campus and/or via distance technology. 2. These events are critical and required as they allow for open conversation between UMFK and Rural U Concurrent Enrollment faculty. 3. If UMFK identifies a pattern of absence over a two-year period, a Rural U administrator will discuss with the faculty member their continued participation in the program.

Grade Submission Rural U Concurrent Enrollment faculty must submit their final grades, in letter format, to Rural U program staff by February 1 (for fall classes) and June 30 (for spring classes). Classes that are a year-long must have grades submitted within the spring deadline. *In the event you are teaching a 4 -credit course with lab, please note you will need to enter two separate grades – one for the lecture part of the class and one for the lab part of the class.

Course Evaluations Rural U Concurrent Enrollment faculty must conduct end-of-term student university evaluations. These evaluations are comprised of questions focusing on the content of the course and are not an evaluation of your teaching methods. Results of the evaluation are available at your request, but these results do not have to be used in your personnel file. All evaluations will be provided to you by UMFK prior to the end of your class with instructions for completion. Click here to visit our website
