New Guild - The Faculty

Post by Jon Seattle »

I am posting a series of proposals for the new Guild. These are not finished nor approved but useful starting points for discussion. I am posting each as a topic in the forum so as to allow separate discussion threads.
--------

[size=200:1hycsks4]New Guild - The Faculty[/size:1hycsks4]

[b:1hycsks4]Mission and Responsibilities [/b:1hycsks4]

The faculty committee will design the curriculum for continuing education, decide on artistic and technical capabilities a student must demonstrate to obtain certification and will set procedures and standards for the design and construction of new simulator regions.

Non-faculty guild members will often will teach and mentor others. Faculty members are specifically responsible for organizing the curriculum and teaching an learning programs.

[b:1hycsks4]Membership[/b:1hycsks4]

Members of the faculty must demonstrate excellence in design and building and / or scripting skills; the ability and willingness to mentor others who want to develop their skills; and the ability to lead substantial multi-person projects. Membership is not limited to citizens of the CDS.

The faculty will elect it’s own members. Becoming a member of the faculty requires meeting one of the certification standards established by the faculty. This will require presenting a portfolio or work and teaching experience; evaluation of that experience by the faculty; and organizing a public presentation of that work.

Twice a year, at CDS election date, one member of the faculty will be elected as dean. The secretary of the administrative committee may also convene meetings of the faculty but will not have a vote.

A small group of citizens with excellent design skills who have made significant contributions to past CDS projects will be invited to form the initial faculty. Because it is expected that other citizens with significant experience will want to join immediately the faculty should quickly establish standards and procedures to add new faculty members.

I recommend the following citizens be invited to form the initial faculty (ordered by last name). Note that this is just my personal list, please propose your own:

Moon Adamant
Flyingroc Chung
Sudane Erato
Dianne Mechanique
