Faculty Profile

Joni_1.jpgJoni Jordan
College of the Sequoias

When I first began teaching, nearly 30 years ago, my mentor and department chair presented an example of professionalism that included not only taking care of one's students and interacting with colleagues, but of ensuring the future and well-being of the profession of teaching as well.  Short on funds that year, she made sure that the newly hired faculty were the ones to get out to professional conferences, had funds to become members of the various organizations and encouraged us to do more than merely become a member.  Throughout my career, my work in any number of professional groups has enriched my teaching, brought new worlds to my classroom and provided me with life-long friends.

I joined FACCC the first semester that I taught at College of the Sequoias and have been a member ever since.  Appreciating FACCC's advocacy for teaching concerns, I've found the organization to be most effective in grappling with issues that affect the classroom.  After my board duties for other organizations were completed, I looked around one day for a new challenge, and in my mailbox happened to find a call for FACCC members to take the next step and get involved on a committee.  I joined the Communications Committee, where I have been happily working with an amazing group of people for about six years.  Our job is to produce the FACCCTS journal each quarter and the time we spend kicking around ideas, considering the important issues of the day, and sharing our collective experiences is something I look forward to with great delight.
