PALOMAR COLLEGE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS – PROGRAM REVIEW AND PLANNING
YEAR TWO UPDATE – 2015-16
Discipline: English as a Second Language - Non Credit
Date: 9/28/2015
Instructional Discipline Reviewed (Each discipline is required to complete a Program Review.)
DEFINITION
Program Review and Planning is the means by which faculty, staff, and/or administrators complete a self-evaluation of an academic discipline, program, or
service. The self-evaluation includes an analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data on how the academic discipline, program, or service is supporting the
mission and strategic planning of Palomar College in meeting the educational and career interests of students. Through the review of and reflection on key
program elements, such as program data and student learning outcomes, Program Review and Planning defines the curriculum changes, staffing levels, activities,
and/or strategies necessary to continue to improve the academic discipline, program, or service in support of student success. The Program Review and Planning
process also ensures short-term and long-term planning and identification of the resources necessary to implement identified goals and priorities.
Purpose of Program Review and Planning:
Program Review and Planning for Years 2 and 3 provides a “check-in” on the Year 1 Comprehensive PRP. The PRP documents the vision and planning for a
program or discipline. It also provides information for the development of the College’s Strategic Plan goals and annual objectives, documents overarching
themes/issues occurring across academic programs and instruction, identifies the needs for resource allocations, and identifies department needs for developing
the annual Staffing Plan update.
Palomar College Mission
Our mission is to provide an engaging teaching and learning environment for students of diverse origins, experiences, needs, abilities, and goals. As a
comprehensive community college, we support and encourage students who are pursuing transfer-readiness, general education, basic skills, career and technical
training, aesthetic and cultural enrichment, and lifelong education. We are committed to helping our students achieve the learning outcomes necessary to
contribute as individuals and global citizens living responsibly, effectively, and creatively in an interdependent and ever-changing world.

STEP I. Evaluation of Program & SLOAC Data. In this section, examine and analyze updated program data, the results
of SLOACs, and other factors that could influence your program/discipline’s plans for the current year. Consider trends
and any changes in the data as they relate to this year’s analysis.
A. Analysis of Program Data. Review and comment on any significant changes or noted concerns since last year’s PRP.
(For enrollment, WSCH, & FTEF data, use Fall term data only).
 Enrollment, Enrollment Load, WSCH, and FTEF
 Course Success and Retention Rates
 Degrees and Certifications
Since 2011, there has been a slide in enrollment, which may be due to normal fluctuations in the non-credit population who are
typically immigrants from Mexico and Central America. As a side note, the Pew Research Center has recently released findings
that show more Mexican nationals are returning to their country than immigrating to the US. Because of the lower student
enrollment, WSCH and FTEF also decreased in 2015.
On the upside of falling student enrollment statewide, the ESL Department made some shrewd decisions to cut some low enrolled
courses, especially in the afternoon programs, and to strategize ways to increase retention in all of our non-credit courses. Due to
these decisions, the Census Load % in 2014-2015 was higher than in 2013-2014 showing the growing efficiency of the department.
One measure of success in the non-credit program is that students earn certificates of Non-credit ESL completion. Even though
the total number of non-credit students has fallen in 2015, the number of non-credit completion certificates (CDCP certificate
Program) was the highest it has been in the last three years. This is an indication that the efforts the ESL Department has made in
explaining to students the benefits of completing a pathway have been paying off. The number of Non-Credit ESL Completion
Certificates awarded is as follows:
Fall 2012 - 51
Spring 2013 - 37
Fall 2013 - 38
Spring 2014 - 47

The number of ABED certificates awarded is as follows:

Fall 2015 9 completed so far with more to be processed before the end of the year
B. SLOACs. Using the comprehensive SLOAC reports and faculty discussions as a guide, summarize your planned SLOAC activities for
courses and programs for the current academic year. Link to SLOAC resources:
http://www2.palomar.edu/pages/sloresources/programreview/
In Fall 2015 we assessed SLOs for NESL 322 and NESL 304. Our SLO plan for Spring 2016 is to assess SLOs for NESL 383,
NESL 372, and NCTZN 400. Overall, we find that our SLO's test appropriate learning outcomes; however, in some instances we
have had to change the rubric/scoring guide or even the test to ensure the validity of test results.
C. Other Relevant Data and Information.
1. Review other data and/or information that you included in last year’s assessment of your program (see Step II.C). (Examples of
other data and factors include, but are not limited to: external accreditation requirements, State and Federal legislation, fouryear institution directions, technology, equipment, budget, professional development opportunities). Describe other data
and/or information that you have considered as part of the assessment of your program. If there is additional information you
are using to assess your program this year, also describe that information here.
In Falbrook, we began a persistence database to track students from level 1 to level 4, but we have had to abandon the program
since we lost the full-time faculty member who was reponsible for the project.
2. Given this updated information, how are your current and future students impacted by your program and planning activities?
Note: Analysis of data is based on both quantitative (e.g., numbers, rates, estimates, results from classroom surveys) and
qualitative (e.g., advisory group minutes, observations, changes in legislation, focus groups, expert opinion) information.
Due to the loss of a full-time faculty, the persistence database at Fallbrook had to be abandoned. We are unable to track students and
gain valuable data to help us monitor students' progress and guide them in transitioning to credit classes. Also, the lack of a FT

faculty member at Fallbrook has hindered our ability to target specific areas of the outreach and enrollment process that need to be
addressed. Fortunately, this situation will improve beginning in Fall 2016 with the hire of a new FT ESL faculty member.
D. Labor Market Data. For Career/Technical disciplines only, review and comment on any significant changes or concerns since last
year’s PRP. (See Step II.D). This data is be found on the CA Employment Development website at

The project to hold an annual Non-Credit Certificate of Completion Ceremony, which had been previously abandoned, has recently
found new life due to funding from the Student Success and Equity Council. The first SSEC-funded Recognition Night will be held
on December 16, 2015. This pilot program will be initially held on the San Marcos campus in the evening. The goals of the event

are to recognize students who have completed the non-credit CDCP Certificate Program, to provide additional information on other
ESL programs as a way to encourage students to continue their eduation at Palomar College, and to introduce the non-credit ESL
program to family members and friends of the students who attend the event. If the Non-Credit Certificate of Completion Ceremony
proves successful in meeting its goals, we plan to expand the event, perhaps to an off-site location, and open it to all non-credit ESL
programs at Palomar College.
Our goal to strengthen pathways for NESL 304 students is showing some positive results. The efforts of our ESL Specialist and
Non-Credit Matriculation Assistant in giving orientations in our non-credit classes and aranging time to meet with students one-onone are important elements that help students make the decision to continue with their education despite their hurdles. Also, the
students' use of tutors in the ESL Tutoring Center, Escondido TLC, and embedded in classes has proved effective as well. More
non-credit students are receiving non-credit certificates of completion than ever before. Early anecdotal evidence is showing that
NESL 304 students are enrolling in credit ESL classes at a higher rate than last year.
On the negative side, we have not been given the opportunity to hire an ESL Specialist in Escondido, a position that has not been
filled for more than six years. The lack of a person in this position has negatively impacted day and evening students in Escondido,
Fallbrook, Ramona and in off-site INEA classes in their ability to get information about the ESL program easily and to learn about
opportunities to transition to credit classes on other campuses, and to learn about financial aid and other student services.
Concerning our last year's goal to increase student enrollment: for the last two years, we have been short-staffed in the ESL office in
Escondido, with the office sometimes having to be closed. Currently, our entire Escondido ESL program of over 500 students is run
by part-time hourly employees. Though our PT staff is doing an admirable job, the students, both current and prospective, are not
receiving the highest level of service and information from highly trained personnel. Through creative scheduling and extra funds
provided to hire hourly employees, we have been able to open the office longer, but the professionlism and long-term commitment
that would serve out students best is lacking.
To counter some of the negative effects of the general slow down in enrollment, the department decided to maintain the open
enrollment period for the first six weeks of the semester, which resulted in a higher than expected number of students. Although
having students trickle into our classes over the course of six weeks is not ideal pedagogically, not to mention the daily changes to

the roster, the faculty have felt the longer registration period was a good strategy to attract more students, who often come to college
based on word-of-mouth. We see that though we fill our classes and have waiting lists, lack of full time office help impacts
retention, persistence and completion. This is because we serve a very vulnerable student population. Our students need
motivation, reminders, connections and guidance. STH and student workers are unable to invest the kind of time and effort that is
required to provide the kind of support that is needed to build community. Clearly, the presence of a full time dedicated staff
member is essential for the growth of this program.
On the negative side, the ESL department's new location in the Humanities Building in San Marcos continues to be an obstacle for
students to locate our office, especially since there is still not adequate signage. Our adult non-native English speaking students find
it a challenge to enter the college, especially due to the lack of signs in the front of the college indicating where the ESL office is.
Also,
not having key signs in Spanish could be an obstacle as well.
In an attempt to make our program visible to the community in San Marcos, the ESL Department has secured permission to display
a large banner along the fence on Mission Road. Despite the lack of a strong marketing plan, the ESL Department is trying its
utmost to attract students using our meager resources.
Lack of a full-time faculty member at the Fallbrook Center continues to make it a challenge to promote the ESL program in the
Fallbrook community. Lack of an ESL Student Specialist at Escondido Center continues to make it difficult for the department to
make timely class visits to promote ESL classes and to be available for advising to those students who are new to our program.
Marketing of our ESL classes has been valiantly done mainly by our faculty, both full- and part-time, and by our students who take
department-produced flyers to their communities. We need material and strategic support from the college to produce and create
marketing/outreach materials. More student ambassadors need to be hired to conduct outreach at community events that non-native
speakers attend. The ESL Department needs to be involved in the marketing of non-credit ESL classes at the South Center as well.
We also need to work with GIS to continue their research on ESL student enrollment patterns. Their initial student-led project on
credit students from 2014 revealed interesting patterns, but we need research done using non-credit enrollment data in order to be

able to fully understand non-credit student background and behavior, which will help the college target outreach and marketing
efforts.
Moreover, because many students have difficulties paying for their classes, we need to create a payment plan option, which would
allow a longer period of time to settle all outstanding fees. At both the San Marcos and Escondido campuses, evening non-credit
students have a very difficult time paying their fees in person due to lack of staffing. In some cases, Student Services has made
temporary arrangements for staff to stay late to collect money, which is much appreciated, but does not fully address the
fundamental problem of the lack of services, including health services, for students in our evening classes.
We would like to continue our efforts to meet the following goals we set for ourselves last year:
1. Strengthen CTE and academic pathways for NESL 304 students to advance in the college.
2. Increase student enrollment.
2.1 Build community relationships in order to conduct more effective outreach. To this end, we have already started a multi-level
ESL day class at a church in Fallbrook. We are also looking into starting an ESL class in Julian.
2.2 Develop a plan for INEA students to transition to non-credit ESL courses. To this end, we have relocated an off-site INEA class
to a classroom in the Escondido Center, a first in the program. We hope by having INEA students on campus for the first time, they
will be encouraged to enroll in the non-credit ESL program and develop a deep connection with the college.
3. Support effective teaching and student success in our INEA program and our off-site ESL programs.
With the equipment received from last year's PRP, the INEA program and our off-site ESL program in Ramona have more flexibilty
in teaching and learning, even though the conditions are far from ideal. Currently, our Fallbrook Center instructors are in need of
notebook computers and projectors to use in class. While equipment is available in the Fallbook High School classrooms, Palomar
faculty are not allowed to use the equipment, effectively eliminating the use of technology in teaching ESL students.

The ipads will be divided among San Marcos, Escondido and
Fallbrook. Student will use the ipads to complete group and
individual activities using interactive language applications. Due to
limited lab space and availability, many ESL students do not have
a chance to interact with technology as part of the learning
process. With the tablets, the classoom can become a mini-lab
where students can share ideas and have access to engaging
language content.

Because ESL faculty at the Fallbrook High school site are not
allowed to use existing technology in their classroom, they have
not been able to use a variety of digital and Internet resources in
class. Having a portable computer, data projector and a AV cart will
permit instructors to utilize the same innovative and interactive
methods and resources as the faculty in San Marcos and
Escondido. Students will in turn be motivated to stay in class, and
learn more. Their positive experiences in class will spread in the
community to help promote our program.

Data projectors in all the classroom in San Marcos and Escondido
has improved the versatility of our teaching and improved the

As of March 2010, there has not been an ESL Specialist at the
Escondido Center, like on the San Marcos campus, to perform
regular ESL class orientations which introduce the students, in
detail, to all aspects of the ESL program, credit and non-credit.
Also, an ESL Specialist, who is knowledgeable of and sensitive to
our immigrant community, is highly needed to consult with
students - often in Spanish, the major language of ESL students at
the Escondido Center – on their academic goals and on how to
overcome their personal and academic obstacles that prevent them
from getting a certificate or a degree at the college. ESL office staff
are not trained to provide these vital services to students. The ESL
Specialist will also be asked to perform these same duties at our
Fallbrook Center, Ramona site and the various INEA sites. At
present, it is impossible for our one ESL Specialist in San Marcos
to fulfill the requests for services from all our sites.

from getting a certificate or a degree at the college. ESL office staff
are not trained to provide these vital services to students. The ESL
Specialist will also be asked to perform these same duties at our
Fallbrook Center, Ramona site and the various INEA sites. At
present, it is impossible for our one ESL Specialist in San Marcos
to fulfill the requests for services from all our sites.

STEP IV. Prioritize Resource Requests. Now that you have completed Step III, prioritize all of your resource requests
as one group; not prioritized within each budget category. This means you could have your #1 priority in technology, your
#2 priority in short-term hourly, and your #3 priority in equipment, etc. If you actually have five (5) requests in each of the
six (6) budget categories, you would end up with 30 prioritized requests. IPC will not consider requests that are not
prioritized. Note that all funding allocated by IPC is one-time and must be spent within the defined timeline.

STEP V. Contract Position Requests. Prioritize all contract positions you feel are needed to achieve goals, plans and
strategies identified in Step II. Include all requests for Classified, CAST, and Administrator positions that either replace a
vacancy due to retirements, resignations, lateral transfers, etc., or any new positions. You may request up to ten (10)
positions and they must be prioritized to be considered by IPC. Please note that only these position requests will be
prioritized by IPC when developing the annual Staffing Plan for Instruction. (Do not include faculty positions.)
