4. Discussion Items
BSI and Assessment and Changes to BSI Data in Instructional Program Reviews
Discussion Angelina and Erin had with Program Review Chairs is leading to a change
in Program Review data provided to Academic Programs in the next cycle. Now,
success of basic skills students in a particular program is based on initial placement not
the level the students were at when they took courses in the program. That is set to
change to success of students in the program based on level at the time the course was
taken.
BSC Program Review: Review data from Angelina. Discussed how we should get his
data in our Program Review template. We want to have data in aggregate and broken
out form to disperse in useful ways.
Discussion of how to get this out to different areas so this information can be used by
others. It was decided we could add a link on Academic area Program Reviews.
Enrollment Management would get this informational summary from the program
review process. May want to still set up a meeting to present data with various groups
and planning committees to be more proactive. Vinnie recommended after we have
turned in program review that we have tri-chairs present our findings to Enrollment
Management Committee. We could get out the information to students services areas at
a Basic Skills /Student Services themed Assessment Friday.
It was decided that the tri-chairs would meet to do a preliminary analysis of the data
with Angelina. Angelina wanted to also make sure Rachel would also be at that initial
analysis meeting due to data work and connection to the PRC. Erin would set up this
meeting and invite everyone else on the BSC as well. In two meetings (next will be
reviewing BSI fund proposals) the full committee will review the work of this
subcommittee.
Mobile Cart Issues- Mendo denied and now extra $200 needed. Eureka possible delay
ADA compliance. May need to look at order of approval to avoid issues. Chairs
address at Integrating Planning Summit the communication breakdown that occurred.
Meetings moved to 9am on 1st and 3rd Fridays- this agenda item was moved after 4.2
The committee agreed to meet 9-9:55am on 1st and 3rd Fridays.
