2. Cite the goals and plans for professional improvement you listed in your last self-assessment report

Goal 1: Gaining proficiency in Canvas so that I can launch and develop robust art history offerings in
online and hybrid forms. I accomplished this goal through training and certification. This allowed me

Faculty Self-Appraisal Revised April 20, 2007

 to be an early adopter of Canvas in Summer 2016, when I taught both online and hybrid forms of Art
R101. I am now iterating those courses as hybrids in Fall 2016.

Goal 2. Develop expertise, curricular knowledge and pedagogical strategies in modern and
contemporary art and art of the americas. I accomplished this goal through development of Art
R103 in Fall 2016. I will continue to deepen my knowledge and teaching strategies in this subject
area in Spring 2017 with Art R103 as well as Art R171 (Survey of Modern Art). Art of the Americas
will be broached in 2017-2018.

3. What are your goals and plans for professional improvement during the next three years, and how
would you successfully completing these goals improve your success in working with students.

1. Continue to develop knowledge and skill in Canvas in order to provide best possible online and
hybrid versions of Art History courses at OC.
2. Continue to develop knowledge and expertise in range of Art History subject areas, including
modern and contemporary art, art of the Americas, and non-Western art. These are all areas that
need to be developed for a successful Art History program at OC.
3. Develop and incorporate museum-based experiences in Art History in order to provide OC
students with direct experience of artwork, museums as institutions, and the application of Art
History skills outside the classroom.
