Documenting Student Behavior
Pre-crisis intervention is more important
today than ever before. When you hear
“Tucson,” “Virginia Tech,” “Columbine
High School,” do you get a bio reaction?
Documenting student behavior can go
a long way toward preventing a crisis.
In this workshop we will review your
rights and responsibility for keeping a
safe learning and working environment.
But more importantly, we will review the
procedures for documenting and reporting questionable student behaviors so
that these can be addressed—and that is
the best way to prevent a crisis.

Does a Student’s Math/English
Level Matter?
With some transfer-level courses, students at any level of preparedness are
allowed to enroll. With others, “eligibility for English 100” is common. In any
event, students who are below college
level in math and English are in attendance in transfer level courses. How does
•5•
a student’s English or math level influence their success in transfer courses? In
this session, we will examine the question by looking at course success data
for popular transfer level courses disaggregated by students’ level of preparation
in English and math. Some of the data
observations may reinforce what you
already know. Others may surprise you.

Coaching and Mentoring: How to Give
and Receive Feedback So No One Has
to Cringe!
When most of us hear the word “feedback,” we translate it to mean thinly disguised criticism. We also know from our
experience that when a mentor, friend
or coach gave useful, specific, well-timed
feedback it was a powerful boost to our
learning and performance. Most of us
have never received training about how
to actually give (or receive) feedback well,
so we often feel ill-prepared or awkward
in our delivery of it. In this workshop
panelists will outline some successful
models for peer coaching and mentoring.
We will also share some simple, confidence-enhancing guidelines for giving
feedback that promotes peer learning,
reinforces diverse best practices in teaching, and doesn’t shy away from giving
suggestions. Be ready—this session will
involve experiential practice of some of
the tools!

Character Counts!
Do you sometimes wonder about the

Do they cheat, or are they insensitive or
disrespectful to others? This workshop is

series of fun activities that address a very
serious topic. Snacks provided.

On Course Integration: Challenges and
Best Practices in the Classroom

Course strategies but you have no time
for additional content in class? In this
workshop, we will share ideas on how to
integrate On Course strategies for our
diverse student population into math,

Keeping Students on Track in
World Languages
Learn how we can support student success and retention in World Languages

daily practice. By sharing information

proficiency levels, and learning strategies,
students can become more independent,
self-directed learners. We will explore
ways to give students a realistic picture
of language study while keeping motivation high. Participants are encouraged to
bring their own ideas and activities for
increasing student retention and success
in World Languages classes.

We’re a HSI—Now What?
As a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI)
the Cabrillo student population is at least
25% Latino/a. We are situated at the center of an upcoming demographic change
for the nation. As reported in the USAToday article, “U.S. Hispanic Population
to Triple by 2050,” whites will no longer
be the majority in the U.S., comprising a projected 47% of the population,
while Latino/as will comprise 29%. So
now what? Come to this workshop to

Engaging with Section-Level
Data—Curriculum Alignment Tool
(CAT) Part 2
This session is intended for those who
came to the Spring 2011 Flex session
and wish to delve deeper, as well as
anyone who is (or is thinking about)
exploring this dataset. In spring 2011
an introduction to this topic focused a
good deal on the mechanics of a pivot
table’s knack for taming large datasets. This session will get beyond the
mechanics and focus more on how one
might apply the use of this dataset in
pursuit of a particular question regarding program data. The backend consists
of nearly 20,000 rows — five years of
data for all sections taught at the college. Included are data regarding a section’s term, department, division, location, enrollments, WSCH, FTES, etc.
Course level curriculum details such as
Basic Skills, CTE, Transfer, and meets
IGETC and/or CSU GE requirements
are included. Section-level success and
retention can be examined and the ability to filter for Learning Community
sections has recently been added.

Our Gang — Building a Vision of California History, Pre and Post-Columbian
The Almaden Quicksilver mines in Santa Clara County served native Californians before becoming important
to the gold rush in the mid-19th century. Our Gang will be building visions of the past, both before and after
the founding of the state, building visions of the present, and building cross-discipline discussions as we hike
the hills. Leave Cabrillo at 8am, Saturday, August 27th. Meet in Parking Lot E above the 400 building to carpool. We will gather at the Almaden Quicksilver County Park (Parking lot at the Hacienda Entrance, near the
end of Almaden Road where it meets Mine Hill Road, just after the museum) at 9am.Two hours of walking/
hiking/heavy breathing. Bring water, food if you like, appropriate clothing, a warm and friendly demeanor,
a love for being outdoors, and any excess gold ore. Return to Cabrillo about noon. Questions or comments,
contact Spanky: paul.harvell@cabrillo.edu

Guidelines for Flex
The flex calendar affords faculty the time and format in which to examine instructional concerns
outside the traditional classroom setting. It offers an
appropriate prelude to the school year as well as a
checkpoint between semesters to refresh our sense of
educational mission. This publication is your guide
to the principles and process of staff development flex
days at Cabrillo College. If you have any questions
after reading it, please consult with your Dean or the
Staff Development Coordinator.
General Guidelines:
1. Required flex time:
Faculty may fulfill their flex requirement by attending
workshops on flex days, participating in advisement
at registration, or performing individual projects on
designated flex days. Any exceptions to this policy must
be approved by your Dean.
Full-time faculty have a minimum time commitment
of 24 flexible hours per year plus two fall semester
mandatory days and one spring semester mandatory day.
Partial contract faculty are required to participate in a
specific number of days, which is prorated on a percentage basis of an individual’s contract. Adjunct faculty
are required to participate in at least one hour of flex activity
per teaching unit each semester.
2. Special exception:
You may perform flex activities on days other than the
scheduled flex days, as long as they are not your regular
teaching days. Weekends and holidays are permissible as are
days when you are only teaching in the evening, or evenings
when you are only teaching during the day. You must obtain
approval of your Dean.
3. Deadlines:
The deadline for submitting your flex agreement is the end
of flex week. This contract needs to be signed by you and
your Dean. The deadline for submitting your individual
activity is the end of flex week. This contract needs to be
signed by you and your Dean.
4. Nonparticipation:
Should you decide to refuse to participate in the flex week,
you will have your pay reduced by the number of days of
nonparticipation (maximum of five days fall semester and
four days spring semester). All flex activities must be completed within the academic calendar.
