Membership
Present: Philbin,
Falk, Gonzales, Harris, Holdread, Massarotti, Rankin, Scarlett,
Ulibarri
Because Hannah
Abraham-Shea and Dene Pisciotte are no longer with us and Peggy Weurding's term
has expired, we need new Trinidad Campus members, two faculty and one staff
representative. Also, we should have a student member from each campus.
Please make any recommendations to me and I will invite those recommended as I
receive them.
Ad Hoc members will
continue to be the Deans and Asst Deans:
Carol Rankin, Debbie
Ulibarri, Tom Scarlett, and now Patrick Blake
a. There are 14 '5's, 5 '4's, 0 '3's, 1 '2' (EMS), and 5 '0's and '1's
(AQT, CO Young Farmer, Graphic Design, Multimedia Arts,
Nursing)
b. Some of the "Responsible Administrator" positions have changed,
principally Mincic -> Blake.
ACTION ITEM: Please review
this matrix for:
(i) cells with incorrect names
(ii) e-mail the corrections to me so I can update the
webpage
(iii) Send an email with the above link in it to those
faculty reminding them of their program plans,
either
to create (if status=0,1) or to implement (status=4,5)
If you have any questions about this, please let me know via
email.
III) Discussion of
Bylaws in relation to Annual Review
First, the task of
closing the assessment cycle - USING assessment results (from faculty
assessment reports) for CHANGING 'things' (curricula, program, budget,
scheduling, staffing, physical plant, ...) needs to be our prime goal this
year.
The AISLC Bylaws say
(Article VI, section 2.3) that each Fall the committee will meet for
initial discussion of assessment results, each Winter for "final discussion of
assessment results..." and each Spring the committee will meet to "Develop final
recommendations to the President ... and review draft .. disseminated to faculty
by the August in-service.".
Because this
feedback structure does not really work - the feedback loop is way too slow to
be effective - the decision was made that all AISLC members read
the assessments at the end of each semester and submit summary analyses via
email to the AISLC Chair in time that the committee can discuss needs and
changes immediately after that semester. For fall semester, that
discussion will take place at the January in-service, for Spring semester, the
discussion will take place at a special spring meeting immediately following
finals week. The readers will be the members of the AISLC, each reading
assessment reports in their area. Monica Falk moved to allow Philbin to
modify the Bylaws and subsequently allow the committee to OK the changes,
Debbie Ulibarri seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
For last year's
assessment results, all committee members will read the assessments in their
area and submit a summary analysis via email to the AISLC Chair in time for the
next meeting, which will take place in mid to late September. Philbin's
reading has yielded the document located at http://www.trinidadstate.edu/AISL/reports/ay05/AY2005report.htm
The meeting
adjourned at 10:55 a.m.
