Where We’ve Been - Complete Appendix A (Budget History) prior to writing your narrative. Limit your narrative to no more than one page. As you enter a new Program Review cycle, reflect on your achievements over the last few years. What did you want to accomplish? Describe how changes in resources provided to your discipline or program have impacted your achievements. What are you most proud of, and what do you want to continue to improve? The ECD program has accomplished the following in the last few years: 1. As of August 2014 we are one of three Community Colleges in the state who have completed the ECE CAP (Curriculum Alignment Project) alignment process. This project required the rewriting and state submission of 7 ECD course outlines which brings the total number of ECD courses at Chabot College to 15. The 7 courses are in 3 subject areas: Special Needs, Infant/Toddler and Administration. Also 8 of our ECD courses are C-id approved for a total of 24 units. These 8 courses are the foundation of our program and included in our ECD AS-T degree, ECD AA Degree and ECD Basic Teacher Certificate. 2. We have had a concern about the low student success rate for ECD 56 Child Growth and Development which is a foundational course for our program. For many years in a row we requested funding for a FIG to look at this issue. We repeatedly did not get that funding. Eventually we received funding for the research, development and implementation of an ECD Study Hall in spring 2014, staffed by ECD faculty, to support our students in their ECD classes. The data from spring 2014 showed that the success rate of our students in ECD 56 went from F 2011 55%, to Sp 2014 74%. 3. Another way that we support our students in having an ECD Orientation starting in the fall of 2013. The purpose of the ECD Orientation is to introduce the ECD faculty, support services and college-wide resources which are available for ECD students. Professional Development opportunities are also highlighted. The event is held once a semester at a time convenient for students to attend. 4. The ECD program provides bilingual tutors for Spanish Cohort participants and other ECD students whose first language is Spanish. This support has been in place since 2009 and is funded through a grant with First 5 Alameda County. We are fortunate that this school year 2014-2015 the ECD Program has been able to hire with the First 5 Alameda County grant 1 math tutor, 3 ECD content tutors, including a bilingual tutor in Spanish. 5. The Spanish cohort, which consists of students who are not your typical college student, is a very successful program. In the chart below you can see the statistics from this class which consists of 4 ECD courses (13 units) which are taught in Spanish/English with an ESL support class for all of the students. 1 The 4 ECD courses give the students the basic units they need to enter the career of an Early Childhood educator. 6. The ECD program for the last 2 years has been able to hire Early Childhood Lab Assistants using Perkin Funds, which support our ECD students while they are doing their student teaching in the Chabot EC Lab School. The ECD Lab Assistants interface with the EC students and the classroom teachers by giving them on the spot support as they are setting up projects for the children or have that question about a certain child answered. Having an EC Lab assistant is an integral part of the success rate for our ECD students in the lab.

Where We Are Now - Review success, equity, course sequence, and enrollment data from the past three years at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2013.cfm. Please complete Appendices B1 and B2 (CLO's), C (PLO's), and D (A few questions) before writing your narrative. Limit your narrative to two pages. After review of your success and retention data, your enrollment trends, your curriculum, and your CLO and PLO results, provide an overall reflection on your program. Consider the following questions in your narrative, and cite relevant data (e.g., efficiency, persistence, success, CLO/PLO assessment results, external accreditation demands, etc.): • What are the trends in course success and retention rates (based on overall results and CLO assessments) in your program? Do you see differences based on gender and/or ethnicity? Between on-campus and online or hybrid online courses? Provide comparison points (college-wide averages, history within your program, statewide averages). ECD Success and persistence rates are consistent with our CLO data. Distance education vs. face-to-face courses. Generally the dropout rate for online courses is higher than the face to face courses. The success rate varies depending on the course but seem to be a little lower for online courses. We are constantly trying to see how we can make the transition from a two year college to a four year college be as seamless as possible and we were one of the first program to be approved for the Early Childhood Development AS-T degree. This was in part because we had been participating in the state wide effort of articulating courses Curriculum Alignment Project (CAP) and we had already started the process. Men in our ECD classes represent a very small minority when compared to women in our classes. This is comparable to the overall statistics for men in the field of early childhood. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is because early care and education is not as well compensated as teachers in the upper grades. Our culture does not value young children and their families; public policy reflects that thinking. It is something we in the field spend long hours trying to change. We also advocate in all our classes on issues of gender equity as well as low wages. One of our courses ECD 40, which was taught by a new adjunct, had a low success rate. This may be that the adjunct did not receive the support that was needed. We are looking at ways that we can give more support to our adjunct faculty. We have also discussed the potential need for a prerequisite for this class. We recognize that this will 3 affect the productivity level for this class and are reluctant to have that as a consequence of greater success in the class. This requires further discussion. We noticed in the following classes (ECD 40, 50, 52, 62 and 83) have shown success rates below 60%. These do not represent downward success trends, but rather “onetime” aberrations in success. We attribute these to the following: change in textbook, and newly hired adjunct with not enough support. Perhaps for ECD 83, we will consider offering the class every other year rather than once per year in order to increase the numbers. For all of these courses we will reflect on the CLOs, course expectations and assignments. The majority of our course have high success rates above 60 % the College overall success rate is approximately 69%. The highest success is found in ECD 63 and 90 which have prerequisites as well as a LAB requirement. If students are successful in the “core” classes (ECD 50, 56, 62, 63), the likelihood of success in the more advanced classes (ECD 65, 68, 90) is great. Our withdrawal rate is about the same as the overall college rate. Enrollment numbers seem to be holding steady. (Between 950-1000) Our Hispanic student’s success rate has improved and we attribute this as the result of having a Professional Development Coordinator who works specifically with that group. We are in jeopardy of losing this position which is grant funded and we know that this would be devastating to our program. We face the continuing challenge of the lab school being considered a tertiary service of the college. In the past it was housed under Student Services and 3 years ago it finally was established as part of the Social Sciences Division. It is vitally important for our students that we have a fully functioning Early Childhood Lab which meets the needs of our students. Because of the severe budget reductions to the lab and other barriers presented by the district the ECD faculty along with the Manager of the EC Lab School have been consumed with coming up with temporary solutions to stabilize the lab instruction under such dire circumstances. Having an EC Lab school for our students is a primary goal of our faculty. We cannot meet our employability standards without the college financially supporting the EC Lab school as they do many other programs such as Dental Hygiene, Welding, auto shop, chemistry etc… 3. The Difference We Hope to Make - Review the Strategic Plan goal and key strategies at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/prbc/StrategicPlan/SP for PR.pdf prior to completing your narrative. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-8 (Resource Requests) to further detail your narrative. Limit your narrative to three pages, and be very specific about what you hope to achieve, why, and how. Note: Chabot is in the process of creating our next Educational Master Plan, to last six years. Educational Master Plans are generally large enough in scope to be flexible. They are used in particular at the District Level to guide in facility and community planning. Please take this moment to reflect on your program’s larger term vision(s) and goals (6 years), and to incorporate them into Program Review under the section below as a separate paragraph 4 or otherwise. The drafters of the Educational Master Plan will be mining Program Review for contributions to the plan, with a commitment to read what programs have submitted. IR has offered to work with programs to determine future market trends to be incorporated into this year’s program review in relation to long-term goals. Please contact Carolyn Arnold for support. We will have other avenues to communicate with the Educational Master Plan Consultants. This is simply one avenue. • • • • • What initiatives are underway in your discipline or program, or could you begin, that would support the achievement of our Strategic Plan goal? Over the next three years, what improvements would you like to make to your program(s) to improve student learning? Over the next 6 years, what are your longer term vision(s) and goals? (Ed Master Plan) What are your specific, measurable goals? How will you achieve them? Would any of these require collaboration with other disciplines or areas of the college? How will that collaboration occur? The strategic plan goal for the college is: “Increase the number of students that achieve their educational goal within a reasonable time by clarifying pathways and providing more information and support.” To work towards this goal we have several projects: #1 Goal: increase the success of underserved students in the Early Childhood program by having a dedicated Professional Development Coordinator to coordinate Learning Communities, advice, and support students, especially ELL students. A PDC would coordinate Learning Communities of students who have specific career goals and provide academic and professional support to Early Childhood students who are working in early childhood settings. Support would include recruitment of ECD Learning Communities, advise students on their career path in ECD and develop an ECD Educational Plan, provide information and processing of: college certificates and California Child Development Permits, overseeing text book loaning program, promoting PDC’s services and support by visiting ECD classrooms, facilitation of Learning Community meetings, and aiding students with issues in Admissions and Records such as: applying for admission, pre-requisite waivers, course substitutions, late adds, change of grade, registration and securing space in classes through class holds (this action assures Learning Community students seamless continuation of required classes and their success). In addition PDC’s make appropriate referrals to all students services on campus. At the present time we have a full time Professional Development Coordinator who is funded by a grant from First 5 Alameda County and this funding is in jeopardy. This position is crucial for meeting the strategic goal of the college by increasing student’s success. 5 #2 Goal: increase student’s success in achieving national Early Childhood skills and competencies which are required for the workforce. The ECD program is currently looking at conducting a self-study program of accreditation by our national professional organization National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC, which is a national organization, not only accredits Children Programs but also two and four year degree programs of EC study for the early childhood professional. This self-study will allow us to look closely at our ECD program and its relation not only to the mission statements of Chabot College but to align with state competencies and our national standards of professional preparation for Early Childhood professionals. Here are some reasons for seeking accreditation of our ECD program: • Accreditation recognizes excellence in early childhood professional preparation at a critical time when public demand for early childhood professionals with specialized degrees and credentials is increasing. • Recent federal and state efforts aimed at increasing early learning outcomes for young children emphasize the need for professionals with higher education credentials and degrees in early childhood education. • Accredited programs design and implement assessment systems that provide evidence of students’ performance in relation to national professional standards and use these data to improve the quality of teaching and learning. • Accredited programs provide evidence of their students’ performance in relation to the professional preparation standards and use these data to improve the quality of teaching and learning. • Accredited programs demonstrate how teaching and learning are intentionally planned to align with their institutions’ and programs’ missions, goals, and conceptual frameworks as well as the national standards for early childhood professionals. • Successful accreditation requires engagement with internal and external stakeholders. This emphasis on partnerships helps to bolster the overall visibility of the program #3 Goal: to clarify a new career pathway Transitional Kindergarten Teacher for Early Childhood students. The state legislature has passed bills which require credentialed teachers who teach in a TK (Transitional Kindergarten) classroom to have 24 ECE units. • “Transitional kindergarten teachers assigned to classrooms after June 15, 2015 will have five years to secure 24 units in early childhood education, comparable professional experience or a child development permit at the Teacher level” The legislature has also provided $25 million for professional development for transitional kindergarten and state preschool teachers. This legislation provides an opportunity for the ECD program to study the feasibility of meeting the specific needs of Transitional K teachers from the surrounding districts. In order to do this we would need to reach out to our neighboring school districts, local planning council and other parties to determine what part the Chabot ECD program can play in the role of providing the ECD units for their teachers. The ECD program is in a 6 good position to provide the professional development units that this bill would require since we are C-id approved, AS-T degree in ECD, CAP aligned and already have a course of study that meets the requirement of 24 ECE units. This is an exciting opportunity for us and we will be pursuing meeting the demands of this latest legislation for TK teachers as well as provide a new career pathway for our ECD students a TK credentialed teacher. #4 Goal: increase student success in meeting the CLO’s for individual courses. In order to strengthen our program we are wanting to find ways that we can involve our adjunct faculty in our discussions about students success rates, trends in the Early Care and Education field, course learning outcomes and course grading rubrics. We will be requesting in the Budget request funds to pay adjunct faculty to attend meetings with the ECD faculty on these issues during the school year. Each fall semester we have been holding an adjunct faculty meeting but the attendance has been spotty and having funds to pay the adjunct to work on these issues should increase the attendance. #5 Goal: Increase the number of our male student’s in ECD courses. We are planning on implementing a support group for men in Early Care and Education. One of our adjunct faculty is male and he is addressing the issue of men in ECE both in his classes that he teaches and as a guest in other classes. ____ YEAR TWO A. What Progress Have We Made?

What recommendations do you have to improve the Program Review process? 10 Appendix A: Budget History and Impact Audience: Budget Committee, PRBC, and Administrators Purpose: This analysis describes your history of budget requests from the previous two years and the impacts of funds received and needs that were not met. This history of documented need can both support your narrative in Section A and provide additional information for Budget Committee recommendations. Instructions: Please provide the requested information, and fully explain the impact of the budget decisions.

How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized. Perkins funds have impacted our program by allowing us to support our ECD lab students with student Lab Assistants as they complete their lab courses required by our AA Degree program. We have found that this helps our students to be more successful in their capstone lab courses as evidenced by the data of course success ( 90%+). Part of Perkins funds were used to attend the NAEYC (National Association for Education Young Children) Professional Leadership conference and at this conference we received information about our AA Degree program becoming accredited nationally. We will be pursuing this endeavor in the next couple of years. Funding also helped us to develop a student study hall to help struggling students, which we are continuing for the next program year. We are currently doing a survey to see if the Study Hall helps the success rate of our students and is at a convenient time. We asked for another section of ECD 54, however we did not receive any funding from the college for this course. Because of First 5 Alameda County grant funds we were able to add an additional section of ECD 54 in the Spring 2015. 11 2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted? #1 Safety Issue: We still have a serious safety issue at the Chabot EC Lab School in that anyone can walk into our lab. We asked that there be installed some type of technology system which limits access. We worry that this would only be addressed after a serious tragedy happens. #2 Infant Toddler program: Our program also asked for the restoration of the infant/toddler lab program and we have not received any funding. Not having an Infant/Toddler program will have a significant negative impact on us receiving NAEYC AA Degree accreditation since our program needs to offer our students lab experiences for more than one age group. #3 PDC: We are at risk of losing funding (provided by First 5 funding for the last 13 years) for the ECD Professional Development Coordinator at the end of this school year 2014-15 and we asked for this position to be institutionalized and funded by the college. The ECD Professional Development Coordinator provides a vital service to our students and supports their success in the classes: assists students in completing their Child Development Permit, advises and completes ECD educational plans, provides tutors, etc… #4 In our program review we asked for a 40% position to be an Observation scheduler who would be in the Chabot EC Lab and at the front desk. Each semester approximately 620 students come into the EC Chabot Lab to do a minimum of a 1 hour observation. # 5 We have asked for over 5 years to upgrade rm 3521 the adult classroom in the EC Lab School. We have finally received new carpet but in desperate need of chairs, student desks/tables and shades on windows to prevent glare for students and instructor. 12 Appendix B1: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Reporting Schedule I.

Faculty are still working on analyzing the information and relating it to state standards since this course is a CAP aligned course. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? It seems that revisions need to be made to the assignments and presentation of materials including lecture and group discussions. 3.

PART I: COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOMES – DATA RESULTS CONSIDER THE COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOMES INDIVIDUALLY (THE NUMBER OF CLOS WILL DIFFER BY COURSE) (CLO) 1: Analyze major developmental milestones for children from 8-18 years of age in areas of physical, psychosocial, cognitive and language development. (CLO) 2: ECD 52 - Explain how human development occurs as a result of the interaction of the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive systems Defined Target Scores* (CLO Goal) 70% of the class scored either 3 or 4 Actual Scores** (eLumen data) 54.3 % scored either 3 or 4 70% of the class scored either 3 or 4 61.8 % scored either 3 or 4 (CLO) 3: Synthesize material to allow for critical 70% of the thinking regarding contemporary issues impacting class scored middle childhood and adolescence either 3 or 4 69.7 % scored either 3 or 4 (CLO) 4: N/A 23 If more CLOs are listed for the course, add another row to the table. * Defined Target Scores: What scores in eLumen from your students would indicate success for this CLO?

PART II: COURSE- LEVEL OUTCOME REFLECTIONS C. A. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 1: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Students scored significantly less than the targeted score. During fall 2013 ECD 52 was offered face-to-face contrary to last few years (last 4 years, ECD 52 was only offered online). 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? I need to look into this particular CLO and how it is assessed in faceto-face teaching environment. I believe students in online courses take more ownership when studying for assigned concepts/sections. Perhaps I can come up with better ways to approach this issue. This semester (spring 2014) I am scheduled to teach ECD 52 online. I am really interested in comparing results one more time. B. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 2: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Students scored about 8% less than the targeted score. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Perhaps I can come up with better ways to reach to targeted score. I am planning to create some “Case-Study” samples that can be used to put stronger emphasis how human development occurs as a result of the 24 interaction of the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive systems. C. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 3: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Students almost at the targeted score. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? I will review the course material, assignments, and guidelines. I will make sure expectations are clearly spelled out. I will also see if I can adopt a few more assignments in this particular CLO area since students showed stronger interests. D. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 4: 1.

What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? This semester (Spring 2014) I am scheduled to teach ECD 52 online. While teaching I will also work on adopting some of the online “assignments/discussion forums” to face-to-face teaching since online ECD 52 CLO assessment results are better than the face-to-face section. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? Fall 2013 semester started with 40 students and I had 37 students at the end of the semester on my roster. However as one can see students success rate while assessing those course CLOS were lower than the targeted score. I run into several obstacles that took outside of the classroom even though students regularly attended to class sessions. Several students did not have their textbook, several had learning disabilities and were in the process of working with DSRC, 2 homeless students, and two were pregnant with complications. Next fall (2014 fall) I will do a survey on basic needs. Also now our ECD Study Hall is up and running, I believe it will also help those students that are struggling. 3.

What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? We are always updating out courses with the latest information and regulations for Early Childhood programs. We noticed that the students were having difficulty in the planning of nutritional meals and adjusted our lecture to give more hands on examples which were worked on for different age levels. This seemed to pay off with the score. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? Students are being successful in the class and this will help them as they find a career in this field. It demonstrates that they have a basic understanding of children’s health, safety and nutritional needs. 3. What is the nature of the planned actions (please check all that apply)?

What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? Because ECD 56 is a fundamentally important class both for the workforce as well as a prerequisite, a skills lab with learning assistants connected to this class would enhance student success giving them the individual help that they may need. This could be a .5 unit, voluntary, or instructor recommended course. (2011/12 Program Review) This semester (Spring 2014) we developed a pilot program “ECD Study Hall” To increase student success. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? We would like to see if the ECD Study Hall is successfully attracting students and if there is a significant improvement in over all successful completion of the course. 3.

PART II: COURSE- LEVEL OUTCOME REFLECTIONS A. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 1: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? The current scores are only slightly higher than the target for student success in this course level outcome. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? I think that the students have a fair foundational basis of what is typical development from their knowledge of typical child development from their college courses and work or personal experiences working with children. They are beginning to understand how wide the variations can be. B. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 2: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? The current scores are below the target for student success in this course level outcome. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? It is much harder to explain and show them what is atypical development when it goes beyond the obvious physical or mental differences that a child with special needs might exhibit. I think that the students have just begun to understand scratching below the surface when they are doing observations of children and learning to 37 look at the overall picture or background of a child to note more mild symptomology. I have taught them to assess children in two methods, criterion referenced and standardized. Both have a function in assessing a child and are important for the students to know the distinctions and difference in using them correctly to obtain information. I think I need to give them more examples and visual aides to comprehend the impact of their findings. C. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 3: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? The current score is slightly below the target for student success in this course level outcome 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? I spent almost 1 / 4 of my class time going into greater detail about different disabilities. The class lectures discussed possible causes of disabilities as well as ramifications of having certain kinds of disabilities. I have given the students many community resources for them to develop their own library. I think that this CLO is the main emphasis of this course. Given the wide variety of backgrounds and experiences the students come into class with, I think that the score is a good representation of what an average student should know by the time this course is finish. D. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 4: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? The current score is significantly lower than the target for student success in this course level outcome. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Laws are numerous, complicated and often require numerous implementations before society can agree on the “letter of the law”. My students and society often accept how they are written and assume that laws will be followed and upheld even if they do not agree with 38 them. I think that my students can differentiate the laws but applying them has been an obstacle This is an course outcome that I need to work on and also I am aware that many of my students to whom English as a second language are struggling with even more because of the laws’ vagueness in wording and actual law cases. E. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 5: ADD IF NEEDED. PART III: COURSE REFLECTIONS AND FUTURE PLANS 1. What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? This is my first closing of the loop reflection. I have made small changes and adjustments to my lectures and assessments over the time that I have taught this class based on my own reflections of my teaching 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? I believe that my strengths are in helping my students understand and become aware of disabilities and inclusion. I provide them simple strategies that they can use with a variety of disabilities. I help them build more mutually respected relationships with parents who have children with special needs. I emphasize that all children are children first and are more alike than different. I realize that I need to find a way for more of my students who are English Language Learners to learn better from me. This requires me to dissect my vocabulary and produce a key. I realize I need to use more visual aides and review my assessments questions to make them less convoluted to reading. I think that I should par down my presentation of so many laws and place greater emphasis on only key laws that affect children with special needs. I also think that actually going over an actual IEP and IFSP form will be a way to help the students understand them better and emphasis how the laws require these parts to protect the rights of children and their families. 39 3.

The students’ performance exceeded expectations. They were able to use new information from the course to effectively evaluate Children’s Literature. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? The approach I have been using seems to be very effective. I think that more inclusion of non-fiction books and folklore would be beneficial. B. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 2: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Each student read successfully to the class members as an assignment. Each did very well in presenting the stories and poems. They read in an engaging manner. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Perhaps more in class practice reading would help the more reluctant reader gain confidence to read with more animation. Perhaps providing a “practice” presentation before the final reading would be helpful. 42 C. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 3: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome?

Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? It would be very helpful if the students could actually see a skilled reader present a story time session to young children. Perhaps arranging a class when some children could be visitors would give the students a clearer idea about how to conduct a successful story time. D. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 4: 1.

COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 5: ADD IF NEEDED. 52 PART III: COURSE REFLECTIONS AND FUTURE PLANS 1. What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? CLO # 1-The students are able to reflect on information that they have gained in the class through an observation of an EC program and apply that to creating a developmentally appropriate classroom. However due to severe budget cuts, providing a developmentally appropriate model classroom has become challenging task. CLO # 2-The students are able to reflect on information that they have gained in the class and to be able to articulate the importance of play in young children’s development. Even though students scored above the target for CLO # 3, we need to perhaps put more emphasis on culture. As a department we make this a high teaching priority. Although we exceeded predicted percentage rate for CLO #4 we are hoping our student assistants help us reach to 100% success goal. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights?

What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? It would be great if the students could actually observe children in the natural environment This class was offered in the evening and there were no infant/toddler serve at the lab school. Therefore, working with the community to identify model centers in the community where students may visit to make it more successful. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? The class was successful. However, 16% of the students stop attending class due to lack of transportation, family issues, and financial difficulties. In term of curriculum, it could be even more successful if the lab school serves infants and toddlers as well as open during the evening hours so students could connect theory with practice in an actual lab school setting. 77 3.

Program: AA PLO #1: Apply ethical standards and professional behaviors that demonstrate understanding of the needs, the characteristics and multiple influences on the development of children birth to age eight as related to high quality care and education of young children. PLO #2: Design, implement and evaluate environments and activities that support positive, developmental play and learning outcomes for all children. What questions or investigations arose as a result of these reflections or discussions? Expand # of PLOs so it is more inclusive of competencies. Reflect on and adjust CLOs and PLOs to align with NAEYC Accreditation standards What program-level strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? ECD 63 and ECD 90 which are our advanced classes require prerequisites of the foundational courses. The success rate for these classes are high. Our analysis of the CLOs indicates that students are able to demonstrate their ability to design, implement and evaluate activities in early care and education environments. The students are able to connect theory to practice through their highly supervised Lab experiences on campus. The on-campus Lab experience allows students to learn and develop their skills over time and through the progression of ECD courses. Students get constant, real-time feedback on their work in a classroom. Their Lab instructor is available to answer questions and model appropriate behavior. What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? Faculty has made efforts to support student learning in the Lab by finding funds for student Lab assistants. This enhances the program and the learning for students in this climate of diminishing resources. We will explore the creation of an Internship in ECD to help develop leadership skills and provide professional development for advanced students as they mentor beginning ECD students. NAEYC Program Accreditation requires a self-study. We will become more aware of specific professional competencies and will need to work to assure that those competencies are core elements of all of our classes. 12% of our courses did not meet our expected CLO scores of success. We will reflect 100 on these results and come up with appropriate response. Program: AA Intervention PLO #1: Design, implement and evaluate environments and activities that support positive, developmental play and learning outcomes for children with special needs. PLO #2: Develop strategies that promote partnerships between programs, teachers, families and their communities to meet the needs of children with special needs and their families. What questions or investigations arose as a result of these reflections or discussions? Expand # of PLOs so it is more inclusive of competencies. Reflect on and adjust CLOs and PLOs to align with NAEYC Accreditation standards What program-level strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? ECD 63 and ECD 90 which are our advanced classes require prerequisites of the foundational courses. The success rate for these classes are high. What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? The capstone course for the AA Intervention Degree is ECD 91 Adaptive Curriculum and it is not offered every year and so we do not have latest results Program: ECD Certificate: Associate Teacher PLO #1: Student will be able to observe, reflect, develop and carry out an activity that is developmentally appropriate for a group of young children. What questions or investigations arose as a result of these reflections or discussions? Students at this level have completed 24 ECD units. Based on CLO data, at this level students are competent to observe, reflect and implement appropriate activities under the direct supervision of a Lab instructor. Students need more specialization to continue in the ECD career ladder. The California Child Development Permit requires students to pursue higher academic levels. Because of budget cuts, we have been limited in our ability to offer any but the most basic ECD courses. Students need electives in order to meet their educational and professional goals. Reflect on and adjust CLOs and PLOs to align with NAEYC Accreditation standards What program-level strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? Students at this level have completed 24 ECD units. Based on CLO data, at these level students are competent to observe, reflect and implement appropriate activities under the direct supervision of a Lab instructor. 101 What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? Reinstate when possible, advanced and elective and specialization ECD courses. Students are completing the units but not completing paperwork for certificate and so we are being more intentional in supporting students to apply for the certificate with the support of the ECD Professional Development Coordinator. Students are being educated as to the value of a certificate even if their long term goal is a degree. Program: ECD Certificate: Basic Teacher PLO #1: Student will be able to demonstrate their understanding of children's development through documentation of their skills. What questions or investigations arose as a result of these reflections or discussions? Reflect on and adjust CLOs and PLOs to align with NAEYC Accreditation standards What program-level strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? Number of students for this certificate since 2011 is 49. What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? Reflect on and adjust CLOs and PLOs to align with NAEYC Accreditation standards. Insure that all eligible students apply for their basic certificate. Program: ECD Intervention (C) PLO #1:Student will demonstrate an understanding of atypical development in children birth through age 8 by designing an environment and planning curriculum that meets the diverse needs and learning styles of all children. What questions or investigations arose as a result of these reflections or discussions? Since this Certificate is relatively new, we have trouble filling the required courses. It also requires a Lab placement, which represents a challenge for many students to accommodate to their work schedule. What program-level strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? The strengths of this program are still to be determined. It has the potential to be a meaningful educational path for our students, as well as meeting community needs. What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? 102 Reflect on a Better “marketing” of the program, specifically the financial benefits of being an inclusion specialist. 103 Appendix D: A Few Questions Please answer the following questions with "yes" or "no". For any questions answered "no", please provide an explanation. No explanation is required for "yes" answers :-) 1. Have all of your course outlines been updated within the past five years? ECD 52, 54, 61, and 88 will be revised this semester (Fall 2014). 2. Have you deactivated all inactive courses? (courses that haven’t been taught in five years or won’t be taught in three years should be deactivated) Yes 3. Have all of your courses been offered within the past five years? If no, why should those courses remain in our college catalog? We were not able to offer some of the courses due to low enrolment, i.e., ECD 91 and 68. ECD 91 is part of the AA Intervention Degree and ECD 68 is required for advance CA Teacher Permit requirement? Therefore both of these courses must be offered. 4. Do all of your courses have the required number of CLOs completed, with corresponding rubrics? If no, identify the CLO work you still need to complete, and your timeline for completing that work this semester. Yes 5. Have you assessed all of your courses and completed "closing the loop" forms for all of your courses within the past three years? If no, identify which courses still require this work, and your timeline for completing that work this semester. We closed the loops (completed data entry and reflective discussion) for all ECD courses accept the ECD 91 and 68. These courses were not offered fall 2013 and spring 2014. 6. Have you developed and assessed PLOs for all of your programs? If no, identify programs which still require this work, and your timeline to complete that work this semester. We have minimum number of PLOs for each AA degree and certificate. We will develop a few more PLOs in the near future (see PLO reflections) so more of those competencies would be assessed. 7. If you have course sequences, is success in the first course a good predictor of success in the subsequent course(s)? Yes, if a student is successful in ECD 56 and 50 will be more likely to meet with the requirements of the next coming course (ECD 63). 8. Does successful completion of College-level Math and/or English correlate positively with success in your courses? If not, explain why you think this may be. Successful completion of English correlate positively with the courses in ECD. If students have a good understanding of the lecture language (comprehension), it would help them be successful. 104 105 Appendix E: Proposal for New Initiatives (Complete for each new initiative) Audience: Deans/Unit Administrators, PRBC, Foundation, Grants Committee, College Budget Committee Purpose: A “New Initiative” is a new project or expansion of a current project that supports our Strategic Plan.

They also will receive advising on their career pathway and other student support services (tutoring, cohort meetings and etc…) To assist in ranking classified staffing needs, the Classified Prioritization Committee requests that the following 117 information be included under Program Review Appendix F1 "Classified Staffing Requests including Student Assistants [Acct. Category 2000]: When requesting classified professionals through the program review process, please include the following: · Job title. Is this a new position? Early Childhood Development Professional Development Coordinator (PDC). Not a new position. This position has been funded by Every Child Counts, First Five Alameda County (ECC) since 2001. · Justification for position, including any relevant data and/or legal mandates: ECC supported this position with the ultimate goal of being institutionalized by the colleges in Alameda County. · Funding source (e.g., grant or general funded) Currently funded by ECC, current contract will end June 30, 2015. There is a verbal agreement that ECC will have a last contract with the college for the 2015-2016 academic year. No amount of funding has been established for the “contract”. The request is for funding from the General Fund. · Is the work currently being done by other employees No, currently there is only one PDC · To whom would this person report Dean of Social Science · What is the consequence of not funding this position PDC coordinates Learning communities, including the Spanish Cohort. The Spanish cohort program was initially funded by ECC and is now institutionalized at Chabot College. This program provides access to college to the Hispanic community by offering ECD classes in Spanish and bilingually. Students in this Learning Community benefit from the PDC as she assist them from matriculation to graduation. PDC assists all ECD students on planning their education pathway in the field of early care and education. The field requires that teachers hold, permits and/or degrees. Requirements to work with young children varies based on the program funding sources. This translates into a complex and broken field. PDC helps ECD students navigate the early care and education system as well as the college system. Child development Permits are process in campus. 118 · How will the campus community (students, staff, faculty and community) be positively impacted by filling this position Some data: Loaning ECD books, 157 textbooks in Spring 14 ECD plans 140 ECD plans, Fall 13 1318 e-mails returned, Fall 13 1070 voice mail returned, Fall 13 Academic year 2013-2014, 96 applications Academic year 2012-2013, 70 applications processed Academic year 2011-2012, 111 applications processed Spanish Cohort needs a coordinator to recruit, matriculate, find and hire tutors, assist students with certificates and permit applications. Infant/Toddler/ Classrooms: 3 classified positions Early Childhood Specialist: RESTORATION of Infant and Toddler lab classroom ( 1 Infant classroom, 1 Toddler classroom) A requirement of NAEYC accreditation is to place students in two different age level lab experiences and at the present time we only have 1 age group 3-5 year old preschool children. Observation Scheduler: ECD department students are required to do observation of children for the following classes ECD 40, 50, 56, 69, 90, 63, 87, 95/96 61 and 64. Based on enrollment potential of 620 students per semester doing minimum of 1 hour observation. In addition other programs also use the EC Lab school for observations. Student Assistants: Student learning outcomes depend on adequate opportunities to observe, analyze and incorporate information discussed in classes. For this reason, we have and widely use our Laboratory setting, to allow students to observe children in a highly functioning Early Childhood Lab experience which models best practices. While in laboratory settings, students also have opportunities to practice the application of theoretical concepts presented in class and to practice their skills Two student assistants will help faculty with coordination of the self study for the NAEYC Accreditation. 119 ECD tutors will provide much needed support to ECD students in particularly those courses that the CLO outcomes lower than indicated student success rate 3. Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and program review are required. Indicate here any information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal. Employability Requirement: Since ECD program is a Career Technical course we also need to meet employability standards. • California Community Care Licensing requires 3 units and Early Head Start requires 6 Infant Toddler units: ECD 67 infant Toddler and Caregiving & ECD 87 Quality Environments Infant and Toddler to qualify as infant or toddler teacher. Students must complete observations and assignments in all classes as well as have opportunities to observe and participate in a quality program which model best practices for infants and toddlers, in order to gain employable skills. • The California Child Development Permit issued by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing also has a Master Teacher Permit which includes the 6 Infant Toddler units. • The advisory committee for the ECD department on more than one occasion has recommended that students have opportunity to observe Infants and Toddlers so they would be more employable. At our last ECD Advisory Committee meeting October 2, 2014, the advisory committee was very supportive of the Chabot ECD program to pursue NAEYC AA Degree accreditation and conduct the self-study. They offered their resources and support. 120 Appendix F3: FTEF Requests Audience: Administrators, CEMC, PRBC Purpose: To recommend changes in FTEF allocations for subsequent academic year and guide Deans and CEMC in the allocation of FTEF to disciplines.

The Lab Instructor who teaches ECD 63 and ECD 90 is allotted a total of 9 hours lab time. The additional CAH allows the Lab Instructor to spend a minimum of 16 hours in the classrooms supervising ECD students, as well as having additional time to meet with the Director and Staff on a daily basis and collaborate with the Lab school staff on curriculum, classroom environments, both indoors and outdoors in the school. The ECD Lab also provides an environment for observing children and many classes have assignments to spend time observing children and the environment. The additional time allows the Lab 121 Instructor to collaborate with ECD Instructors and assist students in being successful in completing their assignments. The ECD Department is undertaking a National Accreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young Children and this additional 3 CAH will enable the ECD Lab staff and ECD Faculty to work together in this endeavor. 122 Appendix F4: Academic Learning Support Requests [Acct.

Description Amount Vendor Division/Unit 129 Priority Priority Priority #1 N/A 130 #2 #3 Appendix F8: Facilities Requests Audience: Facilities Committee, Administrators Purpose: To be read and responded to by Facilities Committee. Background: Following the completion of the 2012 Chabot College Facility Master Plan, the Facilities Committee (FC) has begun the task of re-prioritizing Measure B Bond budgets to better align with current needs. The FC has identified approximately $18M in budgets to be used to meet capital improvement needs on the Chabot College campus. Discussion in the FC includes holding some funds for a year or two to be used as match if and when the State again funds capital projects, and to fund smaller projects that will directly assist our strategic goal. The FC has determined that although some of the college's greatest needs involving new facilities cannot be met with this limited amount of funding, there are many smaller pressing needs that could be addressed. The kinds of projects that can be legally funded with bond dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, and equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities." Do NOT use this form for equipment or supply requests. Instructions: Please fill in the following as needed to justify your requests .If requesting more than one facilities project, please rank order your requests. Brief Title of Request (Project Name): 3500/3521 Building/Location: 3500/3521 Description of the facility project. Please be as specific as possible. Serious Safety issue: 1. Child Development Laboratory must be safe, such that only parents, teachers and enrolled students have access with some kind of technological access code which can also serve to ‘take roll’ of students attending and doing observations and other assignments at the Center. Currently anyone can walk into the EC Lab school and go into the children’s classrooms. This is a serious safety issue. In the past there was a full time staff member who was at the front desk and could screen people as they came in and also assist students in scheduling observations. Currently there is no front desk scheduler or anyone to screen people who come into the building. 2. Room 3521 is ‘our’ ECD instructional classroom. This room is out of date, and needs a physical update: new chairs, tables and carpeting, sunscreen shade (The wall of windows creates a glare and makes showing videos and use of 131 computer/projection impossible). In addition ECD Instructor must stare into high-glare windows when teaching. We have been asking for the last 5 years for refurbishment to our classroom and it is always either VTEA funds does not support your request or you are not on the list prepared by facilities committee. It is time for our request to be seriously considered. What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support? Safe and positive learning environment Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Strategic Plan Goal and to enhancing student learning? The EC Lab School is part of the ECD program and as such a safety issue needs to be addressed for the safety of the students, personnel and children. 132
