(if applicable)
Provide adequate reassigned time for a
full time faculty member to more fully
develop the program beyond normal
coordinating role of scheduling courses
and engaging in faculty selection and
evaluation.
– Fall 2008
In perpetuity – the program may need
reduced reassigned time after one
academic year , but more than presently
exists (i.e. 1.5TLU for the academic year)
District Negotiation outcomes with CRFO
need to reflect increased adequate
reassigned time
Accomplishment of other recommendations
2 through 6 that follows
For 4.5 TLU per semester, 9 TLUs total per
academic year (one-fifth of a load) for a
full time faculty member at $80,000 is
approximately $16,000
The V.P. of academic affairs in conjunction
with Chair of ALSS
Continued downward spiral of quality of
program including community needs not
meeting the programs education, lack of a
human services program integrated into
ADCT program, continued loss of
CAADAC certification, reduced
enrollment, loss of ADCT program
Application for certification from CAADAC
pending – likely programmatic changes
(i.e.steps) to meet CADAAC requirements
will be forwarded to Steven Durham/Keith
Snowflammer. Fee has been paid to
CAADAC. Continual monitoring of the the
CADAAC application through spring,
summer and fall 2008

Presently Steven Durham. Over the
summer Keith SnowFlammer and no one
designated next academic year.
Relevance and currency of curriculum
compromised, lack of CAADAC

Create a community advisory group in
consultation with the North Coast
Association of Mental Health
Practitioners.
Fall Term 2008
Use ADCT Action plan and work with
ADCT Associate faculty; Extensive
discussion with organizations/individuals
in addiction field and mental health to
appoint appropriate people to advisory
board.
Creation of advisory board with broad
membership.
Part of reassigned time costs for full time
faculty member
No one is appointed to implement this for
next year
the program, curriculum and instruction
will not as accurately reflect local
addiction studies needs. Put in the inverse
enrollment is likely to increase if needs
assessment is done and advisory group is
created - students will be advised to enroll
in our program by the people in the various
organizations that advise us. Enrollment
will continue to go down as the programs
reputation deteriorates.
I do not know if CADAAC requires a
community advisory group. We will learn
as our application for certification is
pending. Cost implications are negligible
for operating a community advisory group
and most clerical responsibilities can be
assumed by a full time faculty member with
reassigned time and a division secretary

Recommendation # 4
Recommendation
Planned Implementation Date
Estimated Completion Date:
Action/Tasks
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome
Estimated Cost(s)
Creation of a human service program and
integration of said program with an ADCT
program. The creation of a human service
program should be the topic of a separate
program review informed by 1) a study by
Mark Winter/Mike Goldsby and 2) the
completion of thesabbatical project by
Carole Mathews which involves the creation
of three new human service courses and the
ultimate creation of the program ( i.e.
curriculum committee approval and other
processes for program approval). Some
Human Service courses can be a part of a
new ADCT curriculum.
- My conversations with Carole suggest she is
committed to developing the courses and
escorting them through the curriculum
process by the end of academic year 2008/09.
Consult her sabbatical proposal and report.
The ADCT program has no authority over the
creation of a Human Services (i.e. social
work) program or the completion of Carole’s
sabbatical. Follow through by senior
administration is needed.
Quality of ADCT curriculum will improve.
Dual enrollment in Human Services and
ADCT programs would likely increase
enrollment in all human service and ADCT
classes and would complement transfer to
HSU social work program. The College’s
mission in better serving the community needs
in treating addiction and providing better
trained human service professionals would be
attained.
Most of the cost for the development of
Human Service program has already been
incurred by past administrative and
sabbatical expenditures. Other costs would be
less tangible – some costs subsumed by the
curriculum committee. More funding for
instruction of three classes may be needed or
offset by fewer couse offerings in other areas
within B@SS.

External Accreditation Recommendations
(if applicable)
Vice-President of Academic Affairs needs to
coordinate people in various positions to
accomplish this endeavor
The potential to better serve our community
and the special populations these programs
serve would be lost. Furthermore an
opportunity to increase enrollment for the
College would be lost. More CR students
would end up taking lower division courses at
HSU
Human Service programs have their own
accrediting organizations and standards.
Professor Mathews is familiar with these
organizations, standards and expenses.

Institutional research data to inform
decision making
Fall 2008; ADCT survey research is
presently being delayed because demand
exceeds capacity for I.R. Community needs
assessment will be a major undertaking.
Student survey data gathering is simpler
and can commence the Fall term if I.R. can
design appropriate surveys with the input
of ADCT Associate Faculty.
Spring 2009
One measure is to more effectively match
employer expected outcomes with our
Student Learning Outcomes and Program
Learning Outcomes. In terms of developing
learning objectives the ADCT Associate
faculty retreat funded through the action
plan is intended to refine SLOs and create
PLOs. Another measure of success is
greater student achievement of SLOs and
PLOs over time.
Costs assumed by IR and Action plan
funding. ADCT coordinator would assume
costs through reassigned time.
A person to implement these suggested
changes has not been recognized for next
academic year. Oversight would rest with
the ALSS chairperson, the VP of academic
affairs and of course Program Review.
Students will learn less relevant
information and skills than is expected
from their future employers. SLOs And
PLOs will be less relevant to student
occupational needs. Program will be less
meaningful in terms of employment and the
program will have fewer people enrolled in
it. The program will ultimately falter.
Enrollment will suffer. Paraprofessional
training for community ADCT
organizations will be reduced in quality.
I am not familiar with the research data
expectations of CAADAC for certification.

End of spring term 2009
In general a coordinator needs to work
with the ALSS administrative assistant to
collect and organize the information
required and make it available at the
immediate request of CADDAC to comply
with their certificate requirements
The program will more likely be certified
by CADDAC if we meet these expectations
along with other expectations on pages 5
and 6. Students are more likely to enroll in
the program if it is certificated as they will
qualify to take statewide exams. CAADAC
certification is a measure of a quality
certificate, professional programs in
addiction studies
We have applied for a three year
comprehensive program approval which
costs $300.00. Other costs include
reassigned time for the full time instructor
who coordinated ADCT and the ALSS
division administrative assistant.
ADCT coordinator and ALSS Division
Chairperson. Tracking should be done by
ALSS division chairperson, VP of
Academic affairs and program review.
The program will probably not receive
certification from CADAAC; the quality,
reputation and enrolment of the program
will continue to decline and the program
will be discontinued. The college will have
less enrollment and the community will
have an inferior level of Addiction
paraprofessional service.

Quality Improvement Plan
Program: BUS – General Business
Year: 2007-2008
Recommendation 1
Recommendation: Work with colleagues and administration to open a full-time faculty
position in BUS / ECON.
Planned Implementation Date: Immediate
Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2008 (with Fall 2008 as the target for hire).
Action/Tasks: The current policy for hiring new faculty would entail filing an intent and need
statement and presenting our argument to the Academic Senate for review. This traditionally
takes place in the fall prior to the hiring year. However, this process may change for the next
hiring cycle.
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome: Hiring a highly qualified candidate for the BUS / ECON
position.
Estimated Cost(s): Approximately $85,000 - $100,000 for a full-time, tenure track professor
of Economics. However, the FTES that we can generate with this position will more than pay
for itself. (See Economics Annual Update).
The opportunity cost of not hiring a full-time professor may result in a net loss far in excess of
this initial investment due to:

Failing to meet the current growing demand for business / economics courses.

Failing to fully realize our potential future growth generated by the Center for
Entrepreneurial Studies.
Who is Responsible: Chris Gaines
Consequences if not funded: Our ability to fully serve the needs of our current students will
be drastically improved by the addition of another full-time faculty in BUS / ECON. The new
position would add much needed support in the BUS discipline and allow us to offer a full load
of ECON courses again. Without supporting this program with at least one additional full-time
position, we will not be supporting our program’s purpose or the mission of the college. Our
program will be at risk without this investment – and recommendations 2-6 would have to be
reevaluated due to the risk of failing to deliver on our promise to the students in our program.
Recommendation 2
Recommendation: Aggressively recruit exceptional and qualified part-time faculty.
Planned Implementation Date: Immediate
Estimated Completion Date: Immediate and ongoing.
Action/Tasks: Collaborate with community partners to create a list of qualified and
interested people to teach BUS courses in the future.
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome: A list of interested and qualified part-time faculty in
excess of current course demand.
Estimated Cost(s): Break-even or better. This will be a profit center for CR.
Who is Responsible: Chris Gaines
Consequences if not funded: Inability to serve current and future demand for BUS classes.
Recommendation 3
Recommendation: Revise current BUS Degree and Certificate programs with an emphasis on
transferability and articulation.
Planned Implementation Date: Immediate
Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2008.
Action/Tasks: Complete a rough draft degree and certificate program and collaborate with
counseling and HSU to finalize the new program.
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome: Curriculum Committee approval in Spring 2008.
Estimated Cost(s): No incremental cost.
Who is Responsible: Chris Gaines
Consequences if not funded: Prospective business transfer students will be harmed by
inadequate preparation and articulation.
Recommendation 4
Recommendation: Collaborate with local community, colleagues and IS advisory group to
launch the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies.
Planned Implementation Date: Immediate
Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2008 (soft launch) – Fall 2008 (full launch)
Action/Tasks: Complete rough draft marketing plan and brand identity statement in Spring
2008. Create the Virtual Enterprise course outline and seek curriculum committee approval.
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome: Launch of CES in Fall 2008.
Estimated Cost(s): No incremental cost.
Who is Responsible: Chris Gaines
Consequences if not funded: Educational, enrollment, and economic development
opportunities inherent in Center for Entrepreneurial Studies go untapped.
Recommendation 5
Recommendation: Collaborate with Virtual Enterprise partners (worldwide) to increase the
network.
Planned Implementation Date: Immediate
Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2008 and ongoing
Action/Tasks: Collaborate with partners - including visit to Brooklyn to observe a model site
and conference attendance in Spring 2008 and/or Fall 2008
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome: Increase in VE partners in 2008-2009 year.
Estimated Cost(s): Funded by either VTEA or Faculty Development funds. We anticipate an
annual expenditure of approximately $5000 to support travel and associated expenses.
Who is Responsible: Chris Gaines and Chris Romero.
Consequences if not funded: Limitation on our goal to provide global business experiences for
our students.
Recommendation 6
Recommendation: Continue seeking funding from VTEA grants and similar sources.
Planned Implementation Date: Immediate
Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2008 and ongoing
Action/Tasks: Write VTEA grant proposal for 2008-2009 year – due in Spring 2008.
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome: VTEA funding approved for 2008-2009 year.
Estimated Cost(s): No incremental cost.
Who is Responsible: Chris Gaines
Consequences if not funded: Loss of VTEA funding.
Recommendation 7
Recommendation: Establish Advisory Committee to be shared with BT, CIS, and DM
departments.
Planned Implementation Date: Immediate
Estimated Completion Date: Spring 2008 and ongoing
Action/Tasks: Establish guidelines, identify potential committee members, obtain
administrative approval of committee members, and form agenda for meetings.
Measure of Success/Desired Outcome: New Advisory Committee launched in Spring 2008.
Estimated Cost(s): No incremental cost.
Who is Responsible: Chris Gaines, Chris Romero
Consequences if not funded: Not applicable.

Action/Tasks
Digital Media Quality Improvement Plan – 2007-2008
Areas 1‐4 below correspond to the recommendations list on pg.17
1 and 2. The Information Sciences Departments are planning a Spring 08 retreat, at which time directions for program revisions should be outlined to align with plans for including the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, possibly a combined capstone course, and possibly a single degree for BUS, BT, CIS, and DM with areas of emphasis or specialization. To make changes to the DM degrees and certificates before this planning retreat would not be good because the changes may then have to be changed again as follow‐up to department wide decisions made during the upcoming retreat. DM degree and certificate changes need to be a priority discussion item for the Spring 08 retreat and participating faculty will work to insure that adequate department wide (CIS, BT, BUS, DM) planning results for following updates as recognized and defined in this report. 3. Communicate with VTEA staff (Anna Gaines), Tech‐Prep staff, and Division chair (Helen Edwards) about possible funding sources beyond the currently defined VTEA allocations, which have been reduced significantly this year from previous years. When grant or other funding sources are identified, faculty will consider the feasibility of participating in additional grant opportunities to acquire additional funds. 4. Research existing IR data and define specific data requests that can be passed along to IR staff. Then utilize the data in making scheduling decisions. The following table provides an additional task/time list for program quality improvements.

NA DM faculty NA NA Items below apply numerically to enumerated items in the table above: 2. Consideration of courses for online delivery should include those best‐fit by nature of course content and availability of necessary resources (software) needed by the student for successful completion. Consideration for competing courses is also very important so branch campus enrollments have minimal impact with decreased enrollments. 3. Increase inter‐departmental and cross discipline collaboration through co‐teaching, linked classes, learning communities, and courses sequences to address specific training and vocational needs. Collaboration needs to occur especially with scheduling so courses don’t compete with each other and so students following a defined sequence have an opportunity to do just that. 4. Participation in college‐sponsored outreach events and development of professional relationships with local high school faculty to align and sequence Digital Media courses with their technology based programs and learning pathways. 5. Study the media and entertainment industries in California, communicate with local employers and past students who are employed locally to design and deliver courses aligned with workforce needs. 6. Partnering with our Community Advisory group will help us incorporate private sector support, since the Digital Media program needs to be aware of demographic changes and employment needs. 8. Scheduling should provide faculty the opportunity to teach what they know best and what they love teaching since this is undeniably related to the quality of the classroom experience to the student. Digital media is huge, reaching into many areas of expertise and experience. Faculty should also be aligned with what they know best, rather than just filling slots because there are no alternatives. DM needs to have a pool of qualified Associate Faculty resources so courses can be matched with content experts who intimately know what they’re teaching. This is especially important in vocational education. G. Quality Improvement Plan

Resolve the issue by rewriting specialized
curriculum to include lecture hours, offering
lab classes online, or re-establishing a selfpaced lab on Eureka and Del Norte
campuses.
The program will be improved by providing
access for many more students. Medical
offices throughout the district will benefit
from trained personnel who have
