Priorities for 2011-2012 Academic Year

 

1. Reading Across the College

- How do AST, CIS, WEL, HUM, ... faculty teach reading in context?

                - bring outside expert on Teaching Reading in College without detracting f/ course material

                - Jean & Nancy will look for speaker(s) and report to committee

 

2. TracDat

 

We need to make sure that 100% of all programs have their reporting up to date by the end of the semester because the HLC report needs to be sent to HLC in January. REQUIRE every program bring program-level assessment to some minimal level (‘OK’ in all 10 categories referring to the established rubric for program level assessment  at http://www.trinidadstate.edu/aisl/programs/ProgAssessRubrica.xls )

 

Ask each program to analyze their own program using this rubric (need Deans to do the asking/telling)

- schedule one-on-one meetings with Bob, Bonnie, ???

 

3.  ALTITUDE Conference – see http://www.trinidadstate.edu/aisl/references/ALTITUDEConference.htm for examples from 4/2011

- Specify what exactly is expected from faculty and staff for the ALTITUDE conference.

 

 

Respectfully submitted,
