What did we learn?

So what did we do? Positives We have some remarkable programs. The process works for all types of programs. To Work On BC is not yet clear on the distinction between Outcomes and Student Achievement Data. As readers, we don’t always look for–or see— the same things.

We focused on responding to the pilots. We added specific questions to the Checklist. We held a norming session—applying the questions to two of the pilots.

Example 1.Program information A.Does the program mission describe students served and services offered? Is the language specific to that program? B.Are the program learning outcomes listed? C.Is the discussion of how their program supports the college mission clear and complete? D.For academic programs, does it list degrees and certificates offered?

What did we learn? The entire form needed revising. Some sections of the form also needed internal revision. Questions within sections did not always lead to organized responses—it was the form’s fault. Some questions were not clear—they did not lead to the responses we had anticipated.

What did we do? We knew we needed to revise the forms. We sent sections of the forms to the appropriate committees for review and recommendations. We met with CTE chairs to discuss certificates. We wound up revising both forms: The Annual Update The Comprehensive Program Review

What’s next? The Annual Update form and Checklist with questions should be ready for FCDC’s next meeting. The Comprehensive Program Review form and Checklist with questions should also be ready. The Comprehensive PR cycle (one third of programs complete this in the fall) should also be ready. The Handbooks should be ready soon.

TRAINING OCCURS FCDC in May—introduced Chair Academy in August Flex Week Sessions

Fall 2014: We revise the PRC charge to increase membership to mirror Curriculum and ISIT (one faculty representative for each department). We carry out both the Annual Update and Comprehensive Review processes. We evaluate the work. We present our results to College Council in December.
