What is DE Annual Recertification?

GLOW UP, Glendale Annual Distance Education Re-certification has been negotiated per the May 2024 Guild MOU:

  • Full-time faculty complete 3 hours of training in Distance Education pedagogy per year; part-time faculty complete 2 hours of DE pedagogy per year.
  • Professor Fabiola Torres is GCC's DE Faculty Development Coordinator, appointed January 2025. Fabi designs, provides, and organizes DE Recertification trainings (synchronous and asynchronous).
  • An MOU signed by the District and Guild has set the GADER hard deadline for academic year 2024-2025 as June 30th. Please look out for GADER trainings in the Vision Resource Center (VRC) and through @ONE.

Access the GCC DE Certified Faculty List for a list of DE Certified Instructors. (Note: List has moved to a new platform in Spring 2026. You can now search by name or sort by division and completion status.)

Due to limited staffing, we are no longer accepting DE Recertification: Transcript Submission & Verification Forms for the 2025-26 academic year. We will reopen our verification process for 2026-27 at the start of the Fall 2026 semester.
