DEVELOPMENTAL ED: Presented by Chair Camilla Westenberg
35 people have confirmed participation in J. Giles Workshop, committee
will be formed from participants at this event. Committee will work
on defining/creating an outcomes statement.
GOVERNING BOARD REPORT: Reviewed cover sheet, specifically the format
section. Discussed the content and format of the Executive Summary
from PC. Decided each outcome area (8 total) would write own summary
of about 150 words (2/3 page). These individual summaries/sections
would use the Format paragraph from the cover sheet as a guide. The
PC report will have an introduction and a conclusion to be written
by Steering Team Chair, Brent Jameson. All Outcome Chairs will give
their summaries to Brent by Nov. 16th to allow time to compile report
and present to Steering Team, DI and President for approval.
FEBRUARY STRATEGIC CONVERDSATION W/ BOARD: Discussed the following
format - Concurrent presentations by all colleges of 15 minutes (with
time limit strictly enforced) repeated several times with 5 minutes
between sessions to allow audience/ board members to move from one
presentation to the next. Recommend that these presentations actually
be in a panel format, allowing different outcome committees the opportunity
to discuss their work. Also recommend that a media presentation precede
panel and a Q & A period follow panel.
OTHER:
Question to Chair of Steering Team and/or Dean of Instruction, Outcome
Committee Chairs currently have an agreement of reassigned time (for
2 years) for their work as a Chair. If the faculty member is willing
to continue their work ("reenlist") to as Outcome Committee
Chair after the initial 2 years, does he/she get reassigned time for
2 or more years? Will reassigned time be given every year to every
Outcome Committee Chair?
NEXT STEERING TEAM MEETING: T B A
Respectfully submitted,
