(identify source
of funding)
1) Identify and secure a permanent smart
classroom for the Human Services Program
flexible enough to accommodate small group
work, lectures, flexible desk arrangements,
acoustic needs, etc.
XX
HSERV still does not have a dedicated, permanent smart
classroom. However, ALH programs have graciously given
HSERV use of classrooms when space allows. It is nice but
generic—no program related materials on walls, hard surfaced
walls make small group discussion and dyad exercises difficult
to do as students cannot hear one another. With classes of 40
students the classroom actually is almost too small for breakout groups.
2) Develop Certificate of Achievement in Drug
XX
and Alcohol Studies that acknowledges the skills
and expertise of our students in this field.
Completion of all Alcohol and Drug Studies
courses (the 160’s) and the HSERV Skills
Certificate meet the requirements of the State for
counselor certification
3) Develop a Human Services management XX
course to meet Social Work and Human Service
employer’s needs with succession planning. The
SLO’s for HSERV 50 & 51 focus on introductory
Human Services skills—not management.
Explore feasibility of using DMCP 110.
Certificate has gone through the curriculum process and has
been approved.
Application to the Chancellors office is almost completed
pending employer survey and other back-up materials.
4) Have 1 faculty person attend training on
Faculty unable to attend due to medical emergency.
Will attend CAADE conference this Spring (Sp 13)
teaching strategies to develop competence in
differential diagnosis of Substance Abuse and
other co-morbid disorders consistent with the
needs of State AOD Counselor Certification

PC currently working with CTE to complete.
Discussions with local Human Services Employers continue
re: employer needs.
Lone faculty/PC’s work has focused on other projects at this
time.

5) Identify resources to assist students in
finding low-cost laptop computers and
internet providers.
XX
Local low cost resources for students to purchase used
computers have been identified. PC currently developing
scholarship fund for students to purchase laptops.

The stress of balancing Family, school and work continues to be one
of the major impediments to successful completion.
A survey Monkey survey was developed and sent out to former
HSERV students. The results are currently being reviewed in hopes
of generating resources and appropriate supports.
SLO Assessment Progress: In a sentence or two, describe where your department should be on the Revolving Wheel of Assessment (what
assessment you should have done in the last year) and what was actually done. If not every thing was completed, explain why.
Having presented the Program Plan to CIP last spring, this is year 1, semester 2.
HSERV 160 and 164 have been reviewed based on the most recent assessment and recommendations.
HSERV 163 content is being revised to reflect changes from the last assessment. It will be offered in Sp 13.
Per the attached schedule no SLO’s were assessed. However curriculum discussionscontinued in departmental meetings.
Fill out the Assessment Results section below.
Per the attached schedule no SLO’s were assessed, however the follow-up on recommendations to improve HSERV 160 and 164 were
implemented with good success. Results were discussed in HSERV Dept. meeting in the first week of December.

Priorities identified for program as a result of assessment. Example:
Develop strategies for teaching research and documentation skills; share
rubrics for research papers; provide more instructional support outside of
class.
Discussion of the implementation of recommendations in HSERV 160 and 164:
In HSERV 160 student presentations were of a higher quality. Students exhibited careful critical analysis of the presentation subjects (e.g.,
Substance Abuse amongst Women in Prison, At-Risk Youth and Substance Abuse, etc.). Students were given more in-class time to prepare in
addition to group meetings outside of class. Presentation outline proposals were submitted and reviewed 3 weeks before the assignment was
due. This helped students revise where needed and tighten the organization of their presentation. Presentation skills were discussed in class and
reviewed before the assignment day. Instructor met with each group during the planning process to both critique their plan and to facilitate more
group cohesion.
In HSERV 164 student performance on the Ethical Dilemma papers was similar to the previous year (80%) in spite of the implementation of numerous
interventions as outlined in the original assessment. Students did participate in more collaborative decision-making group exercises in class but many
still underutilize the Ethical Decision Making Model in the final assignment. The dilemmas chosen were much more applicable to the Human Services
setting. They displayed a more mature understanding of how a problem might develop into an ethical dilemma and generally what to do.
The teacher’s attendance of a Law and Ethics in Social Work workshop earlier in the year enhanced the in-class discussions of emerging ethical
challenges utilizing electronic records, social media and websites.
