Assessment Committee Meeting
May 4, 2012
1-2:30pm in AT103
Meeting Notes
Present: Justine Shaw, Toby Green, Cheryl Tucker, Angelina Hill, Rachel Anderson, Erik
Kramer, Marla Gleave, Crislyn Parker, notes
Report:
1. Webpage and software status:
 The data from MyCR was added to the Assessment Home site and removed from
MyCR. Other resources and PowerPoints were left for now. All of the older
documents are on the web pages, but have not yet been put into the various
reports. Once dialog piece has been established, the MyCR site may be closed.
 To view all completed work, go to the Assessment Home page, click on “view
completed work (stoplight),” then choose “submitted reports (stoplight),” then “past
reports”, and last, “Past Reports, CTL & Plans.” Page is self-explanatory.
 Angelina has nearly completed the dialog forum for the assessment summit: go to
inside.redwoods.edu/forums and enter network login at the prompt (this prevents
non-employees from entering assessment dialog). Choose “assessment Fridays,”
“assessment summit,” or “general.” Each session in the summit will be listed for
joining. The page is still undergoing some final changes.
 A suggestion was made to allow the assessment coordinator the ability to create
new forum(s). Angelina noted that under the “general” dialog options, the choice of
“new topic” can be selected; each discipline can use as needed, creating a trail of
dialog. It is important to read Instructions first!
 Marla Gleave volunteered to be the “test” dummy.
2. Assessment Coordinator transition:
 Erik, Pete and Justine met with Utpal and the MOU for Erik for summer is at the
SARTCO committee.
3. Potential changes to AC structure and purpose:
 The AOC has tasked an ad hoc committee including Erik, Justine, Rachel, and Pete
with drafting a new set of responsibilities and potentially new structure for the
Assessment Committee to better align it with the PRC and provide for more detailed
feedback to those conducting assessments. This is still in progress, but may use
the Curriculum Committee as a general model for how to review submitted plans
and reports.
4. Assessment Summit planning:
 Justine is still searching for facilitators; preferably, faculty who are not part of the
discipline groupings are needed.
 A surveymonkey was sent requesting food preferences.
 Anita and Geisce will see any faculty wish to attend. Toby from MC will attend.
 Opening and closing sessions will be recorded and streaming.
 A facilitator training will be held on Monday (for CCC Meet and Confer). Printed
instructions will also be provided.


Guidelines were sent with the schedule to establish the general structure of the
dialog.
A suggestion for the exit survey is to ask “what would be most beneficial to (faculty)
you for convocation”?
Discussion Items:
1. Update 3-year plan:
 Updated the 3 year plan as of 5/4/12. It will again be updated over the
summer, after the new administration settles in.
2. Convocation goals:
 Will be finalized following the summit.
 One goal is to have everyone complete their two-year plans (the new
deadline for plans is September 13, 2012, with reports due along with PR
documents on January 31, 2012.)
 Maybe some mapping.
 Any training needed for completed software.
3. Other
 It was suggestion that best dialog will occur in division and/or department
meetings.
 Also requested some clarification on artifacts; will they be submitted, or
should they just be available.
