Dear Tenure Review Committee,

Thank you for taking the time to review my tenure portfolio. Over the past two years, I have continuously adapted and refined my approach to teaching, focusing on enhancing accessibility, encouraging student self-reflection, and integrating practical resources for our diverse student body. This portfolio reflects my commitment to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment at Ventura College.

Throughout my time here, I have worked to implement various improvements, from developing a comprehensive library of video resources that provide critical lab preparation, including accessibility features, to refining course structures on Canvas to make them more intuitive and effective for students. By adjusting lab quizzes and documentation to better align with practical lab work, I’ve aimed to create resources that enhance students’ understanding and confidence within lab sessions.

This year, I participated in professional development and campus involvement to align with the tenure expectations outlined in Appendix D2 (Page 139). These experiences have supported my growth as an educator and my contributions to the college community.

Looking ahead, my goals include updating lab manuals to increase clarity and efficiency and becoming more involved in the curriculum development process, supporting the college’s initiatives to build an inclusive academic community. I am committed to ongoing professional growth and actively engaging with college activities that further our shared educational goals.

I appreciate the college’s support in this journey and look forward to continuing to contribute meaningfully to our students and community.

Sincerely,

Howard Han
