What Have We Accomplished? Complete Appendices A (Budget History), B1 and B2 (CLO's), C (PLO's), and D (A few questions) prior to writing your narrative. You should also review your most recent success, equity, course sequence, and enrollment data at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2013.cfm. In year one, you established goals and action plans for program improvement. This section asks you to reflect on the progress you have made toward those goals. This analysis will be used by the PRBC and Budget Committee to assess progress toward achievement of our Strategic Plan and to inform future budget decisions. It will also be used by the SLOAC and Basic Skills committees as input to their priority-setting process. In your narrative of two or less pages, We feel strongly that the music area can serve as an exemplar for our district, college and the Chabot community at-large as one of the most successful and recognized community college music programs in the state. This is due in large part to our comprehensive course offerings, outstanding faculty, wonderful students, and support form the Chabot administration and district. We regularly produce a WSCH/FTEF of 600 and have done so with 3 full-time and 17 adjunct faculty members. The data clearly illustrates the importance and need of our applied music program and the strength of our performing ensembles. As discussed last year in our program review, we have aligned our curriculum to meet the new requirements of SB-1440, developed and AA-T degree, and remodeled building 1200 to reflect the trends and industry standards of the 21st Century music program/musician. Budget support will be needed to meet the unique curricular needs of a music program and in being fiscally responsible with the maintenance of our instrument and sheet music inventory. One of our goals the past three years and been to improve the success rates and retention in our Harmony & Musicianship sequence (MUSA 2A/B/C/D). With a full-time faculty member, Eric Schultz, coordinating the theory area and teaching the majority of the courses we saw some of the highest success rates in recent years. With Eric not teaching these courses due to him serving as SOTA Dean, success rates have dropped. Dr. Schultz will return to teaching these courses next year. Some of the best practices we have developed include regular meetings of discipline faculty, meeting with our music majors once a year as a group, clear understanding of CAH allotments and WSCH/FTEF ramifications, and establishing a mentorship and one-on-one instruction in our applied lesson program. Some of our greatest challenges in the future will be the new repeatability guidelines. Many of our students enter the major at a pre-college level. It can take them a year to gain the skills required to function in an ensemble setting and perform effectively on their instrument. We plan to develop a basic skills program within the major to serve these students. To do this will require an additional allotment of .40-.60 FTEF a semester as we need to increase the CAH of MUSL 6 to match the C-ID descriptor and need to offer MUSL 28, Musical Structure and Songwriting, at 2.5 CAH. The greatest barriers to our success at this time are resources. We need a music department coordinator, a student assistant, classified professional help, additional CAH to meets to needs of our students/program, and a budget that supports the unique needs of a music program. Student 1 success rates and CLO date clearly illustrates that our African-American and Latino students need this support with non-success rates varying from 20-45% compared to 90-100% success rates with our White and Asian students. B. What’s Next? This section may serve as the foundation for your next Program Review cycle, and will inform the development of future strategic initiatives for the college. In your narrative of one page or less, address the following questions. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-8 (Resources Requested) to further detail your narrative and to request resources. What goals do you have for future program improvement? What ideas do you have to achieve those goals? What must change about the institution to enable you to make greater progress in improving student learning and overall student success? What recommendations do you have to improve the Program Review process? As discussed in the previous section, our greatest challenges in the future will be the new repeatability guidelines. We need to develop some non-credit ensemble courses for our life long learner students and poeple coming back for job training. Many of our students enter the major at a pre-college level. It can take them a year to gain the skills required to function in an ensemble setting and perform effectively on their instrument. We plan to develop a basic skills program within the major to serve these students. We will be revising MUSL 6 to align with C-ID descriptors and would like to offer a MUSL 28, Musical Structure and Songwriting course at 2.5 CAH to our nontraditional students. To do this will require an additional allotment of .40 FTEF a semester. We also see the need for better coordination with the counseling area. We would like to see a counselor assigned to the music area with has a clear understanding of the courses, what is required of the major and our AA, AA-T and certificates. Many of our students are in need of excess unit cards, class over lap cards and need counseling in the GE area and in filing a degree plan. We are also in need of developing a strategy to deal with studio hours, SARS tracking, instrument checkout and inventory, applied lessons loads and lab monitoring. With the loss classified support and reassigned time for a music coordinator, a large hole has been left in the program. In the music area he have specialized lab spaces and equipment needs that need to be addressed and supervised. We are in dire need of reassigned time for a music department coordinator (3 CAH) to facilitate lab hour supervision, tracking of SARS data, coordinating applied lessons loads and publicity/outreach to local schools and the community for concerts and festivals. We wish to become accredited with NASM (National Associate of Schools of Music). This is a multiyear process with costs. We have discussed this with Dean Walter as she is in full support. This is very important to the music area and will need the support of the college and district. 2 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. Category Classified Staffing (# of positions) Supplies & Services Technology/Equipment Other TOTAL 2014-15 Budget Requested 2 11,500 24,200 2014-15 Budget Received 0 11,500 19,850 35,700 31,350 1. 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. Supplies and services play a critical role in the music area. We have over $500,000 in musical instruments and equipment and must maintain and service this equipment in a fiscally responsible manner. This includes instrument repair, piano tuning, instrument maintenance, instrument replacement when repairs become too costly, purchasing of sheet music for ensembles, etc. In many cases if we were unable to supply instruments to students, they would not be able to enroll in our courses as we are not allowed to charge a use fee and we cannot expect a student to purchase a $15,000 instrument when they can barely pay their tuition. Our purchases and funding is very visible in the community with our outreach and concerts. We have set our program and students up for success with 21st century technologies needed in the work place. 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? One of the main impacts to students has been the lack of open specialized music labs with the classified staffing position not being funded. This is a slippery slope with the accounting of studio TBA hours required in many of our courses. In some cases with expensive instruments, if funding requests for instruments are not fulfilled we will be forced to turn a student away, which creates an access issue for students. The sharing of instruments creates and issues with OSHA and is not feasible. We have looking into renting instruments and sheet music but in the long run we have found this to not be fiscally responsible. 3 Music Program Review Year 3 2014/2015 Appendix B1: Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Reporting Schedule I.

How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? This really depended on the background of the student as the majority of MUSA courses can be repeated. We also saw a higher success rate with students concurrently enrolled in a MUSA 40 course. 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 need for fundamental courses in woodwind, brass, percussion, keyboard, and voice pedagogy. We will work on this for next year’s program review. Many of our students not able to pass an audition into a MUSA 40 course need to be able to take 1-2 semester of a basic skills music course. We also need an increase in the music budget to maintain instruments. Most of our students do no own their own instrument and use Chabot equipment. We need to continue to maintain our currently inventory and buy new instruments to replace outdated equipment. B. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 2: 1.

What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? Since the previous assessment cycle, we have made the following changes: 1) SARS tracking for open lab and practice. 2) Greater student access to practice room 3) Purchase of professional quality instruments to aid 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? The need to develop non credit ensembles, offer the song writing course, develop applied pedagogy course for students not prepared to take MUSA 40 and the dire need for a coordinator to track and implement these needs. We continue to have the need for equipment for our students as the cost of professional quality instruments is a major barrier for many of them and limits their growth using a beginning quality instrument. 3.

How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Students are very successful in applied lessons when they have a background in music (JHS and HS instruction) and are concurrently enrolled in an ensemble. Students need to audition and place into this course so success rates are much higher than the typical MUSA course. 12. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Students need to be able to repeat applied music courses or have the ability to enroll in level course (e.g. A,B,C,D) and for transfer to 4-year institutions. The course can be repeated 4 times and we see success and level 1 and 2. Where most are lacking success is in level 3. Discussions are ongoing. L. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 2: 11.

Discuss anticipated improvements in student learning and contribution to the Strategic Plan goal. Cite evidence and data to support your request, including enrollment management data (EM Summary by Term) for the most recent three years, student success and retention data, and any other pertinent information. Data is available at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2013.cfm. 1. Number of new faculty requested in this discipline: ___ PLEASE LIST IN RANK ORDER STAFFING REQUESTS (1000) FACULTY Position Description Faculty (1000) Program/Unit Music Faculty Coordinator at 3 CAH or .20 FTEF Coordinate Applied Lesson program and concert publicity/box office. Music Division/Area AHSS Rationale for your proposal. Please use the enrollment management data. Data that will strengthen your rationale include FTES trends over the last 5 years, FT/PT faculty ratios, recent retirements in your division, total number of full time and part-time faculty in the division, total number of students served by your division, FTEF in your division, CLO and PLO assessment results and external accreditation demands. The Music Department is requesting a Music Coordinator position starting the Spring 2015 semester. In a ten year period, the Music Department has grown from 6 faculty members to over 20, 4 ensembles to 11, 8 concerts a year to over 30, no applied lessons to lessons on every instrument, and WSCH/FTEF from the 400’s to approaching 600. As you can imagine, this has created an enormous amount of paper work and 27 extra time to coordinate curriculum, loads, lessons, concerts, facilities, spreadsheets, instrument checkout and inventory, work orders, media services requests, purchase orders and requisitions, co-curricular accounts, studio hours, recruitment, community activities, etc. We propose the coordinator position to be 3 units of reassigned time per semester. Music Coordinator duties: Department Course Offering Spreadsheet and Adjunct Loads Unit Plan and Program Review Capital Outlay Requests and Requisitions Media Services Requests Departmental Budget Applies lesson loads and room usage Scholarships Faculty Recital Chamber Music Concerts Coordinate 1200 facilities and PAC usage Piano tunings and maintenance Coordinate Concurrent enrollment registration and ensemble concerts Tracking of SARS tba hours and compliance The Music Coordinator position will play an important and integral role in our departments continued growth and improvements. This position was funded at 4 CAH in 2007 and reduced to 3 CAH with cuts in 2009. It was eliminated in 2011 due to budget cuts. 2. Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and your student learning goals are required. Indicate here any information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal. This position is dire in the tracking of SLO’s, CLO’s and PLO’s as the majority of the applied lessons courses are taught by 17 adjuncts. The lessons need to be scheduled and loads changed with our division scheduler (Angela). Catherine Powell and Dean Carla Walter are in full support of this dire need In the music area. Much of this work is currently being done by faculty working beyond the scope of the contract and assigned job duties. If TBA hours are not tracked and accounted for properly with SARS, and log sheets if audited we could loose courses or be made to repay apportionment. 28 Appendix F2: Classified Staffing Request(s) including Student Assistants [Acct. Category 2000] Audience: Administrators, PRBC Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for new and replacement positions for full-time and part-time regular (permanent) classified professional positions (new, augmented and replacement positions). Remember, student assistants are not to replace Classified Professional staff. Instructions: Please justify the need for your request. Discuss anticipated improvements in student learning and contribution to the Strategic Plan goal, safety, mandates, and accreditation issues. Please cite any evidence or data to support your request. If this position is categorically funded, include and designate the funding source of new categorically-funded position where continuation is contingent upon available funding. 1.

The student would also help with SARS tracking, concert and box office scheduling, equipment checkout and specialized music laboratories. Program/Unit Division/Area Music AHSS 2. Rationale for your proposal. The music student assistant is need to comply with studio hour course requirements and to support our fully Apple Mac labs, SARS tracking of TBA hours and check out of equipment with Catherine Powell being moved from building 1100 to 400. This assistant will report to the Music Coordinator (if funded), full-time music faculty, and Catherine Powell. The SOTA Outreach Specialist position is needed in SOTA. See Theater Arts Program Review for further detail regarding this position. 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. The music area really needs the student assistant position to comply with all studio hour course requirements to be in full compliance if an audit were to occur. Our sheet music libraries must be maintained to ensure we are in copyright compliance with ASCAP and BMI. 30 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.

Accompaniment to juries are required by the AA-T degree and NASM; this is not optional. This has not been funded the past two years and is a critical need. Accompanist hours break down to approx 80 hours of rehearsals/class time (for all MUSP and MUSA courses) and 20 hours for juries accompaniment. Please note that 34 juries and accompanists are require in the AA-T degree (applied music and ensemble courses) and with NASM accreditation. We need to maintain our pianos. We tune them every semester and before every concert. We have not had any maintenance work done on the pianos the past 8 years with budget cuts. With this neglect, repair work must be done on them ASAP before damage occurs that can not be fixed. We currently have a cracked leg on a $25,000 piano and another $25,000 piano that has a broken string and sound board that will not hold pitchy. Please understand to replace a concert grand piano (which we own 7 of them) can run from $25,000 to over $100,000 per piano. It would be fiscally irresponsible to not fund this increase. 35 Appendix F6: Conference and Travel Requests [ Acct.

Background: Following the completion of the 2012 Chabot College Facility Master Plan, the Facilities Committee (FC) has begun the task of reprioritizing 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, 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): Fix existing problems with building 1200 remodel. Building/Location: 1200 Description of the facility project. Please be as specific as possible. We have some major sound bleed issues when building 1200 was remodeled. Doug Horner brought in acoustical engineer Charles Salter to develop a plan to address these issue. Money has not been paid to West Bay Builders due to these issues. We would like for these issues to be fixed ASAP and for funds not to be diverted to other projects that were allotted to this remodel. The facilities committee toured the building last year and the district and college are aware of the issues. What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support? The entire college. Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Strategic Plan Goal and to enhancing student learning? This is not a new project but completing the work that was scheduled to happen and fix work that was not completed properly. 39
