Cycle Closure
Quote from
Aug minutes
"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. "
AND
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
How do we close the loop? Fundamentally, we are, like all
standing committees, a recommending
committee to the president. So, what have we to
recommend? Please bring specifics to
meeting
from your
reading.
** Go to the assessment page and select the Reporting link (this will send you
to
assessment reports in your department with an "analytic eye." It would be
best if you sent via
email your analyses to all in this email list prior to the
meeting.
Quote from Aug

principally Mincic -> Blake.

this matrix for:

...

a - To

do we get the remaining plans designed?

Discussion of Bylaws in relation to Annual
Review
The AISL Bylaws are accessible on the website by
clicking on the AISL Committee link (at the bottom of the AISL homepage @ www.trinidadstate.edu/AISL) .
Read them and we'll vote on them at this meeting. See discussion from last
meeting below:
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.
