Because of the timelines PC is currently facing, the assessment plan needs to be implemented and efforts at implementation need to be documented. Dr. Hughes and Dr. Gudykunst will pull the data together for committee review hoping to have this information sometime in January of February. Two content areas of concern that need to be assessed are ESL and Developmental Education. Dean Tadano will discuss these needs with the appropriate faculty members and departments. Committee members suggested hosting a guest speaker who could talk to departments about the assessment process.
Good practice includes a faculty owned and driven process.
Dean Tadano expressed the concern that PC is not as far as NCA hoped we would be at this point. However, Dean Tadano was reassuring in that the college does have an approved assessment plan. Our priority is to identify where we are and then provide a strategy for how we are going to fulfill the entire assessment cycle. The next week will be schedule sometime during the week of January 25th. Chairperson Jameson will notify members of exact date, time and location.
