 My name is Mary Johnson and I am an Education Director at the Wisconsin Technical College System. I work with the Faculty Quality Assurance System and Professional Learning. I think one of the areas that is interesting and unique about our system is we are working specifically with faculty who are subject matter experts in their fields, but they haven't necessarily been trained how to teach. Our job, my job, is to help support our colleges so that their faculty learn what it means to be an instructor, what it means to share this knowledge that they have that they're so passionate about so that the next generation of students and of employees are able to go and be successful in those fields. I think about the work that we provide for the state of Wisconsin for the various programs that we run and the fields that they work in and how our employers are impacted. It's a beautiful cycle of learning and growing. And then I see the part of giving back to the students from our faculty and the way that they are encouraged and supported to teach what they know so that the knowledge they have continues and lives on. It's very important to me that the faculty we have in our classrooms are prepared, knowledgeable, feel comfortable and confident in what they're doing so that they can be able to support students in the best possible way. For us to have really strong student success, it starts with our faculty. I am successful when I see students walk across the stage and thank their faculty for the impact that they had on their learning and on their growth and on their future.
