Focus Groups and Site Visits Several individuals at the college have received advanced focus group facilitation training from AtD coach Dr. Kenneth Gonzales. We strongly recommend you use this technique on implementation teams. Contact Joyce Morgan-Dees at x7842 for more information. Once common barriers and/or underlying causes for problems have been determined, we also recommend team members make site visits to other institutions to determine how they have successfully addressed the issues identified by each team.

Meetings Leadership meetings twice a semester: First meeting will be reviewing data Second meeting will be devoted to progress reports from implementation teams. Steering Committee (Project Coordinator, Co-chairs and Executive Sponsors) probably will meet once a semester. Highly recommended implementation teams meet at least monthly, preferably twice a month time permitting.

Other Items Department numbers and preliminary budgets have been assigned to each implementation team. Expenditure requests should be sent to Stu Harvey, x7849 (or my assistant, Jane Hinojosa, x7577) for approval. New I2 Student Success portal will be operational in next few months.
