High School Faculty

High school faculty who teach courses offered through the Beacon Program are selected and certified by both their high school principal and Suffolk County Community College. To be certified to teach courses offered through the Beacon Program, high school faculty should hold credentials equivalent to Suffolk's faculty teaching a comparable on-campus course.

There is collaboration between the high school faculty and Suffolk's faculty in each academic department.

High School Faculty Benefits:

  • Provided with ongoing, discipline-specific, college-based professional development, connecting high school faculty with Suffolk's faculty and collegial resources.
  • Tours of the college are hosted for Beacon Program high school faculty and their students upon request through Beacon Program Administration.
  • Beacon Program guidelines for participating high school faculty are available upon request by contacting Beacon Program Administration.
