The College Planning Council is the primary shared governance committee with representatives from the executive administration, the Faculty Senate, the faculty bargaining unit (CCFT), the classified bargaining unit (CCEU), the managers and the confidentials. The ALO prepared the list of recommendations with proposed lead responsible persons for each recommendation (the progress matrix), which CPC approved. CPC also serves as the Accreditation Steering Committee. This Midterm Report summarizes the progress Cabrillo has made on the site team’s recommendations and on the self-identified recommendations. The ALO compiled a draft report which was reviewed by the College Planning Council, the Administrative Council, and the Faculty Senate, and was approved by the Governing Board on October 4, 2010. Brian King, Superintendent/President Date: October 5, 2010 1 47 I. Responses to Team’s Recommendations Recommendation 1: The team recommends that Student Support Services develop and implement student learning outcomes and measurements for all its departments, collect and analyze the data, and link the results to planning and program improvement. This recommendation is in progress. Since fall 2007, all student services departments have written outcomes. Two departments have planned assessments for fall 2010: counseling and EOPS. The counseling department includes four programs that also have assessments planned for fall 2010: Puente, International Students, CAP, and Transfer Center. The other departments have continued to develop outcomes and expect to have them completed by late fall 2010: Admissions and Records, Assessment, Veterans, Financial Aid, Health Services, Student Employment, and Student Affairs/Activities. Student Services are also developing a new timeline for departments undergoing program reviews in 2010-11. Recommendation 2: The team recommends that the next master plan include an emphasis on planning for distance education and all off campus sites with regard to instruction and support services. Further, the master plan should address the evolving classified staffing needs in light of new technologies, facilities expansion, and operational needs. The college has completed the recommendation with respect to distance education by developing a Distance Education Master Plan that was approved by the Governing Board in June 2009. CMP Goal B, Objective3, Strategy a: Develop a three-year Distance Education Master Plan. In addition, the college has consolidated all off-campus sites under the supervision of one dean, the Dean of Education Centers. With respect to evolving staffing needs, the state budget crisis that began in early 2008 has severely limited the college’s ability to hire new staff, but has not prevented the college from developing thoughtful plans to consider the new demands of new facilities and technologies and to allocate staff as efficiently and effectively as possible. One result was the termination of “Community Campus,” Cabrillo’s term for the loose set of classes offered throughout the county at rental locations, primarily in the city of Santa Cruz, eliminating the need for support staff for that operation. In addition, the course offerings at the Scotts Valley Center were reduced by half, consequently reducing onsite staff. The College Master plan included staffing under Goal D, Objective D2; Effectively address evolving classified staffing needs including two specific strategies: D2a: Refine the classified staffing prioritization process and D2b: Develop expertise to redesign work flow when appropriate and consider development of a process for reallocation of staff to heavily impacted areas when appropriate. 2 48 Recommendation 3: The team recommends that the college adopt a formal reserve policy. The college should establish a clear written reserve policy to protect the financial stability in the support of institutional effectiveness. The college has completed this recommendation. The Cabrillo College Governing Board discussed and approved a formal reserve policy at the February 2008 Board meeting and the college has fully funded the reserve required by the policy. Recommendation 4: The team recommends that the team update the Governance Manual (1999) to reflect current governance processes used by the constituent groups of the college. The college should describe the charge of the various committees and the composition and membership and how often they meet. The college is nearing completion of this recommendation. The Governance Manual is in the final stages of being updated to reflect the current committee structure and now is available in an electronic format as well as in hard copy. The fully revised Governance Manual should be available on line in spring 2011. II. Responses to Self-Identified Recommendations The summary below describes completion, progress, or deferral of the issues the college community identified in the Institutional Self-Study in Support of Reaffirmation of Accreditation 2007. They are divided into categories by those: completed or near since the accreditation visit; those early in the stages of implementation or in progress; and those deferred. Self-identified recommendations completed or near completion since the accreditation visit: 1B.1: Continue to implement program planning within all components, having all components go through the program planning process on a regular cycle. All four major components of the college (President, Administrative Services, Instruction, and Student Services) have developed a cycle and timeline for administrative program review. The Instructional component has completed the development of administrative program planning for all divisions and departments within its purview and completed the program review of the following: Watsonville Center, Instructional Development & Matriculation, and Instruction Office. In 2010-11, the five divisions will complete their administrative program review: Business, English and Language Arts; Health, Athletics, Wellness, and Kinesiology; Human Arts and Social Sciences; Natural and Applied Sciences; and Visual, Applied and Performing Arts. Career Education and Contract Education will undergo its administrative program review in 2011-12. The other components have established timelines for their departments to complete administrative program review and are currently collecting data and developing surveys. The college expects all non-instructional departments to complete the full first cycle of program review by 2013. 3 49 1B.2: Revise the Master Plan and commit to revising the plan regularly with annual updates and reports on progress towards objectives. The governing board adopted the five goals for the 2008-2011 Master Plan at the November 2007 Board meeting. In 2007-08, the President held a college-wide “visioning” session, followed by numerous small group meetings to develop the Objectives for the 2008-11 College Master Plan. The final plan had 5 Goals, 23 Objectives, and numerous strategies. Since that time, the Master Plan has been reviewed and revised on a regular basis. The governing board has received regular reports and updates on progress towards achieving the goals. 1B.3: Schedule a revision of the College Facilities Master Plan to coincide with the completion of the major construction projects currently in progress. The facilities five year master plan has been updated and submitted to the state chancellor’s office. 2A.1: Continue to provide training, through the learning outcomes assessment coordinator, to entire departments and/or assist individual faculty with the assessment process. The SLO Coordinator is a standing member of the Council on Instructional Planning, participates in the review and approval of program plans, and works directly with the faculty on their instructional plans throughout the annual process. In this capacity, the SLO coordinator meets with faculty and department leads to review the assessment process and assist them when necessary. In addition the Office of Instruction has worked with the planning and Research office and IT to provide technological support for the SLO assessment process. The college has also formed ARC, the Assessment Review Committee, which is charged with reviewing all assessment plans of all program reviews: instructional and non-instructional. The SLO coordinator is the chair of this committee. 2A.2: Endeavor to make the Core Four even more visible and accessible to students and faculty. In 2007, posters of the college mission statement and the Core Four were posted in all classrooms and offices on campus. 2A.3: Continue its college-wide dialog to review the Core Four for any missing pieces with a view to correct any gaps that are identified. In 2007, the Faculty Senate led a discussion on the Core Four, reviewing each one of the core competencies for its accuracy and relevancy, making a few minor revisions. Posters of the final revision of the Core Four were made and posted around campus. 2A.4: Implement CurricuNet (the newly purchased curriculum development and management program) to more adequately address the needs of the curriculum process. 4 50 CurricuNet was purchased in spring 2007 and full implementation with training was completed by Spring 2008. CurricuNet replaced the older home-grown curriculum development program, FIESTA. All faculty, administrative review members and curriculum committee reps have been using CurricuNet successfully for the past 2 ½ years. It has provided far more options in curriculum development and course modifications, program development, and articulation, due to its clear workflow and reporting capabilities. 2A.5: Implement technological innovations that will assist instructional divisions in meeting the challenges of course scheduling and enrollment management. Until recently, scheduling at the department and division level has been conducted in a very traditional manner with limited technology support. Reviews of course scheduling software systems have occurred but no adequate system has been identified to date. Over the past two years, the Office of Instruction has worked with the Planning and Research Office to develop an in-house scheduling system, resulting in two tools currently in use. The first “Enroll Tracker 2.0” was completed in 2008 and provides a live snapshot daily of enrollments throughout the registration period and the add periods, with a fill rate component and a four-year comparison function. The second tool, a curriculum & scheduling pivot table, provides five years of data about enrollments in various programs and majors in an easy to access form. The research analyst continues to upgrade the tool with more functions that will simplify the enrollment management of the college. 2A.6: Implement a system whereby students will be able to review their progress towards the A.A. and A.S. degrees to facilitate student success in the transfer programs. Admissions and Records has been in transition for the past two years. The new Director of Admissions and Records was hired in summer 2010, and one of her first priorities has been to work with the Articulation Officer to implement the articulation tables of the Datatel Degree Audit system, allowing students to have transfer credit evaluated and visible on their degree audit in WebAdvisor. The initial implementation date is expected to be by the beginning of the academic year 2011-12. 2A.7: Continue to monitor the needs of county employers so that occupational programs will continue to provide high quality programs that meet the needs of their students. The college utilizes a variety of mechanisms for monitoring the changing needs of employers. Each of our CTE programs has an employer advisory committee that it meets with one to three or more times per year. In addition we have formed Career Partnerships that bring employers across an industry sector together with college faculty and administrators, other education partners (high schools, Regional Occupational Program, adult schools, County Office of Education), and workforce development agencies (Workforce Investment Board, Employment Development Department). Our Career Partnerships in Health, Public Safety, Industrial Technology facilitate comprehensive responses to a variety of workforce development needs. The college is also represented on the Santa Cruz County Workforce Investment Board and its Youth Council and Career Center subcommittees. Each of these provides opportunity for regular dialog concerning workforce development issues with employers. When there is an emerging 5 51 industry that appears to have new workforce development needs, the college will actively seek to determine whether it has a role in assisting the growth of the industry. For example, in response to the growing interest in green technology the college partnered with the WIB and three community based organizations to contract with a team of consultants. This team is currently surveying industry and government to assess what role education can play in supporting the growth of this industry. Finally, we conduct an annual survey of all of the completers and leavers of our CTE programs. The data from this survey provides us with a good measure of the extent to which the number and quality of our graduates matches the needs of our employers. 2B.2: Equal access: the college will continue to expand the services and information available to students via the Internet. The college will enact policies to ensure that all members of Cabrillo’s diverse community have access to the college’s student services. The college has undergone a complete web redesign process over the past two years and the new website was migrated this summer, 2010. The new website is much more user-friendly and student–centered than the previous one. The college webmaster will be monitoring where the activity is taking place on the site for future possible adjustments. The college developed an online orientation for students who could not attend an on-campus, face-to-face orientation, which was implemented in the 2009-10 academic year. However, the online orientation has encountered problems and may need to be re-designed so that it functions in a way that is sustainable. 2C.1: Continue to closely monitor the resource requirements of the students and integrate the instructional elements of the Library and Learning Support Services into the cyclical pattern of assessment through instructional planning. The library initiated its most recent Instructional Program Planning in 2006, submitting a final report with review and recommendations in Spring of 2007. Beginning with this cycle, and continuing with all future planning cycles, the library incorporated direct student surveys of library users in addition to traditional measures into ongoing planning efforts. The Library's next program plan is due in Spring 2012. 2C.2: Expand the Library’s catalog coverage to include other collections on campus, such as the ECE Department’s Peace Library. The library incorporated the Horticulture Center library collection into the Library's catalog in 2005, and the Early Childhood Education department's Peace Library collection into the catalog in 2007. Students may now use the library's catalog to find books located not only in the library at the Aptos campus, but also textbook collections in the Computer Technology Center and the Watsonville Center, in addition to the two collections mentioned earlier. 2C.3: Review the physical space needs of some learning support resources. All space needs were reviewed and evaluated through the Space Allocation Process in 2008-09, with a final draft space allocation recommendation going to the Governing Board in January, 2009. 6 52 2C.4: Monitor the effectiveness of evaluative processes and develop mechanisms to improve learning support services, especially the Math Learning Center. Beginning Fall 2009, initial data for all labs and learning centers at Cabrillo were gathered and organized in order to get a clearer picture of all such labs/learning centers, enabling us to do a contrastive analysis of comparable data, including types of labs/centers (i.e., what discipline(s) served) location (and co-location), hours of operation, numbers of students served, capacity of facility, supply costs, and personnel costs broken down by faculty, staff, and student workers. Numerous meetings were convened in which administrators, faculty, and staff met, shared insights and ideas, and collaboratively discussed what is working well and what might be improved. The resulting spreadsheet is a convenient and powerful tool to assist all constituencies in monitoring the effectiveness of individual labs/centers. Another result of the meetings was a decision to adopt a common “gatekeeper” software program in all labs/learning centers, which can produce reports showing the ebbs and flows of student use, and types and times of use, among other data. As a result, the directors of the labs/learning centers can better manage their resources and provide the services students most need. It also benefits Cabrillo's planning and research office (PRO) which, once it has access to data gathered in a similar fashion across campus from all labs/learning centers, can then produce valuable reports on the various areas listed above, comparing like data, allowing the administration to accurately quantify the effectiveness of the labs and centers as well as identify any areas in need of improvement. In addition, the Planning and Research Office (PRO) is conducting a study of effectiveness of tutoring in terms of student success. 3A.2: Make the processes for planning and budgeting for new management and classified positions more transparent to all stakeholders. The college has used transparent, clear processes for evaluating management and classified positions. The administration and the classified union developed a “classified hiring process,” in 2006, which was used twice successfully. Unfortunately, because of the budget crisis, relatively few new positions have been considered since 2008. Since that time, Cabinet has used a “managed hiring” process as vacancies occur in order to determine collaboratively which of the vacant positions can be filled in any given month in light of the fiscal limitations. The vacant management positions also have been reviewed by the Cabinet, with some positions remaining vacant for several months. After determining management needs, Cabinet then presents comprehensive management staffing recommendations to Administrative Council and the College Planning Council and finally the Governing Board for approval. 3A.4: Clarify college hiring processes. Human Resources has developed Guidelines for Search and Selection Committee Members which is available on Cabrillo's public drive (P) P:\Business Services_PUBLIC\Personnel and Human Resources_PUBLIC\Search_Select_Guidelines.pdf. Further, Administrative Regulations (ARs) for hiring college employees are in the process of review and update. The review and update process for adjunct faculty hiring has been completed. 7 53 3A.5: Improve awareness of available HR resources for accessing HR policies, procedures and other information related to personnel issues, including their updated web pages. Human Resources (HR) created and debuted its first edition HR Newsletter in the Spring of 2010, receiving wide acclaim, followed by the second HR Newsletter in Fall 2010. The department plans to distribute two newsletters annually, one each in the spring and fall semester. In collaboration with IT, HR is currently working to enhance and update the HR web page. HR has developed and posted a master calendar of benefits-related activities (e.g. wellness workshops, retirement planning workshops, etc.) on the HR web page for employee access, awareness and more effective planning. As referenced in 3A.4 above, HR has developed Guidelines for Search and Selection Committee Members, now available on the campus Public drive (college intranet). In collaboration with Business Office managerial colleagues, HR management co-presented Cooperation, Consistency & Compliance (regarding various payroll and leave accounting policies, procedures & practices) to the college management team as a professional development activity in Nov. 2009. HR has disseminated updated labor law posters at various campus sites 3A.6: Develop a hiring handbook that explains the process and time lines for all hiring committee members that explicitly addresses issues of diversity. Human Resources has developed Guidelines for Search and Selection Committee Members, now available on the campus P drive at P:\Business Services_PUBLIC\Personnel and Human Resources_PUBLIC\Search_Select-Guidelines.pdf. 3A.7: Explore ways to improve the evaluation processes at the college. The evaluation processes for college faculty and classified support staff are subject to the collective bargaining process. The adjunct faculty evaluation process was revised and codified in the 2007-10 CCFT Collective Bargaining Agreement. In spring 2010 negotiations with CCFT, evaluation process revisions were made specific to Distance Education faculty that further defines expectations related to instructor interactions with students, accessibility and the composition of the evaluation team. 3A.8: Clarify the college’s commitment to a professional code of ethics and publicize that policy more effectively. The governing board approved a revised code of ethics at the August 2007 Board meeting that included sanctions for violations. The policy was discussed on several occasions at public meetings before a final version was approved by the board. 3B.1: Develop a plan to more fully integrate facilities, equipment and maintenance planning, which will include a process to evaluate how resources are being allocated for facilities and equipment to ensure the best possible learning environment for students. The plan will also explicitly address staffing requirements for the maintenance of all new facilities at the college. 8 54 A Maintenance and Operations Staffing Costs analysis and recommendation for College Wide and Health & Wellness needs have been submitted to the District in March 2010. This Document addressed the needs for staffing relative to the expansion and investment in new facilities made by the community and District. This document identified the need for adequate facilities relative to Student access and made recommendations for staffing and equipment for all new facilities. 3B.2: Continue its efforts through the FPAC and SEAC to solicit broad input into the process of reallocation and renovation of existing space when new facilities open up. With the opening of several new buildings on campus, several existing buildings were vacated and the college entered a planning phase for the reallocation of space. The College hired an outside consultant in 2008 to review the current facilities usage and program needs for facilities. The consultants met with department faculty, management and staff and over a one-and-a-half year period, they developed a space utilization plan for the campus, which went to the Governing Board for approval in January 2009. 3B.4: Evaluate the current IIPP and ensure timely implementation. A review of the IIPP was accomplished by our JPA representative, Pamela Gangloff and the system for ensuring that employees are trained remains in place. 3D.2: Review the roles of the CPC and the President’s Cabinet in the financial planning process, as part of an overarching effort to more clearly define the roles of these two governing bodies. In January 2007, an all-day CPC retreat was held during which the CPC membership developed a shared definition of shared governance and delineated the role of CPC. According to the minutes of the meeting, the role of CPC is as follows: In service to our students and community the CPC reviews policy matters requiring broad institutional input and advises the President prior to recommendations to the governing board. CPC is the shared governing body responsible for: Developing and tracking the college master plan Reviewing and advising on all budgetary and resource allocation matters Ensuring that the resource allocations reflect the priorities of the master plan Reviewing and advising on new & existing programs, services, staffing and facilities Serving as the Steering Committee for the accreditation process 4A.4: Develop a formalized mechanism for college-wide dialog, encouraging input from both inside and outside an area under discussion. In response to the budget crisis in 2008, the college developed a robust process for college-wide dialog that encourages input from everyone at the college. In addition to discussions at all shared governance bodies (including the Faculty Senate, Administrative Council, the component councils, and the College Planning Council), the college has held numerous Town Hall Meetings and keeps a current Budget Information Center on the college website. We anticipate this model will prove fruitful in future discussions of other important college-wide issues. 9 55 4A.5: [Develop] A plan to improve the college web site to keep it more current, and to make sure that faculty and staff are familiarized with it's usefulness as a resource. The college website has been completely revamped, with the full migration of the new website taking place in summer 2010. Assistance is now available in the TLC for all faculty and staff to create their own department web pages and to familiarize them with the new website and its resource capacity. 4A.6: Revise the Governance Manual in order to clarify the relationships and functions of the college’s primary councils and committees, including the role of Cabinet and the Administrative Leadership Team in college governance. As noted in response to Recommendation 4 above, the revision of the Governance Manual is very close to completion. 4B.2: Schedule regular retreats to review the role and functions of the board. The board began holding annual retreats for the first time in 2007, and will hold its fourth annual retreat facilitated by a seasoned board expert in the fall of 2010. 4B.3: Conduct the Board’s self-evaluation according to the schedule and manner determined in the policy. The board conducts a comprehensive self-evaluation each year, and has reviewed the results as a part of its annual retreat. Self-identified recommendations in progress, expected completion by 2013: 1B.4: Revise the Facilities, Watsonville, and Technology Plans to more clearly cohere with the College Master Plan. The current Watsonville Center master plan was completed in 2006 prior to the current College Master Plan. The Watsonville Center planning process for 2011-13 is in the preliminary stage and will coincide with the next College Master Plan, which is also entering the planning stage for 2011-14. Much of the current Technology Plan has been successfully implemented, especially with regard to upgrading the infrastructure. The IT Retreat was held in August 2010 in preparation for an expected tech plan revision by the end of academic year 2011, which will be aligned with the revision of the College Master Plan. 2B.3: Student Services will continue to implement a systematic and on-going cycle of program planning, evaluation, and assessment for all Student Services and Support 10 56 programs, including the Counseling Division, allowing sufficient opportunities for dialog within and among programs. SLOs will be integrated throughout the departments’ plans along with effective assessment practices and instruments to measure their success. In summer 2010, Student Services developed a new program review cycle that mirrors that of the instructional component. All departments have completed SLOs. Assessment Services/Matriculation identified SLOs from the Core 4: all students assessing for course placement complete an online survey assessing their knowledge of the SLOs; correct answers are read as part of the script and are posted in hallways of the assessment office. Several other programs (Counseling and EOPS) will have assessment plans completed by fall 2010 and will begin the initial assessment of the SLOs soon thereafter. Once the new program review plan is in place, several departments will begin their program reviews for completion by the 2011-12 academic year. 3A.1: Continue to implement the new classified hiring prioritization process with an eye towards staffing needs for the new facilities. Because of the budget crisis, relatively few new positions have been considered since 2008. The classified hiring prioritization process was last formally utilized in fiscal year 2008-09 when 67 positions were submitted for consideration, and of those CCEU, the classified bargaining unit, ranked 20 prioritized positions. With regard to new facility staffing needs, the college has authorized the following 8 FTE new classified support staff positions to support facility and plant expansion: 6 custodians, 1 lead custodian, and 1 grounds maintenance worker. The college has attempted to address the staffing needs of new facilities with some reallocation of resources and positions within the components. 3A.9: Engage in a college-wide dialog to discuss ways to improve access for faculty, staff and managers seeking professional growth and training. The college has made significant efforts to highlight the importance of professional growth and training, including a strategy in the college master plan that was the result of a college-wide dialog, Goal B, Objective B2b: Provide ongoing professional development for faculty and staff to improve teaching and learning in basic skills and send Cabrillo personnel to state-sponsored professional development activities in accordance with the statewide Basic Skills Initiative recommendations. Budgetary limits have restricted but not eliminated professional growth and training at the college. The college has sought private sources of funding whenever possible to provide for training. 3B.3: Enhance security by improving the alarm and key distribution systems. A proposal to reconfigure the distribution of the key system is underway – an outline of a process has been provided by the NAS division. 3C.1: Develop a college-wide process for requesting technology funding, recognizing the specialized needs of individual departments and programs. 11 57 This item will be addressed in the next Tech Plan slated for completion no later than the end of spring 2011. 3C.2: Address concerns about the adequacy of staff and faculty training in technology, including Datatel. The Datatel Core Team has been reactivated after a lag for the past couple of years due to budget constraints. The Datatel Action Planning process has been scheduled to begin in early fall 2010. This team will address a number of technology concerns around Datatel in particular, including staffing and training. 3C.3: Create a college-wide technology maintenance and replacement plan for ll programs, both instructional and non-instructional. This item will be addressed in the next Tech Plan slated for completion no later than the end of spring 2011. 3C.4: Address technology staffing needs through the hiring priority process. The Network Administrator position has been filled. Analysis of staffing needs is in progress and will be addressed in the next Technology Plan slated for spring 2011. 3C.5: Increase the technological support for the Instruction, Student Services and Business Services This item will be addressed in the next Tech Plan slated for completion no later than the end of spring 2011. 4A.1: Develop an easy-to-read flow chart of the decision-making processes at the college. The college is developing flow charts for various decision-making processes. Since one chart does not adequately outline the process for every important decision, the final product may l include various flow charts depending on factors. For instance, a college-wide decision making process on budget and planning would include numerous groups from different constituencies, whereas curriculum would rely primarily on the Faculty Senate. 4A.3: [Develop] a transparent and open decision-making process that can be communicated clearly to the college community. As noted in 4A.1, the college is developing flow charts for various decision-making processes. Since one chart does not adequately outline the process for every important decision, the final product may l include various flow charts depending on factors. For instance, a college-wide decision making process on budget and planning would include numerous groups from different constituencies, whereas curriculum would rely primarily on the Faculty Senate. Once fully developed and approved, this decision-making process will be communicated to the entire college community. 12 58 4B.1: Create a review cycle for policies, manuals and procedures. The college is presenting revised policies and procedures to the Governing Board on a quarterly basis, making good progress in revising the manual. Self-identified recommendations deferred: The following items are deferred due primarily to budget/resource constraints or because they are dependent upon the completion of another recommendation or task. 2B.1: Communication: the college will develop and implement a plan to better advertise and explain the range of student services to students, faculty and staff. This plan will specifically address: student extra-curricular opportunities; regular updates and distribution of policy books and college publications; improved storage and security of student records; improved communication regarding program review, assessment process, and budgeting with the Student Services programs; and improved communication among all college components, particularly about the changes that impact other services. Due to budget constraints over the past three years, this item has been deferred. Communication has improved in some areas of the college, especially with regard to the state and college budgets, budget and budget reduction planning, and budget related lay-offs. These topics have been widely communicated in numerous venues across campus as noted in item 4A.4 above. However, a comprehensive review of all communication with a resulting plan has not occurred. 3A.3: Study the usefulness of developing benchmarks for measuring the staff-hours required to perform classified functions. It has been determined that clarification is needed on what exactly "study the usefulness of developing benchmarks" refers to in this context before proceeding. 3A.10: Reinstate a college-wide Diversity Committee to address issues of diversity at the college and encourage professional development on diversity issues. The Diversity Committee has been, and continues to be, a standing committee included in the college’s Governance Manual. The Diversity Committee has not met in recent years, but other groups and committees, including the Cabrillo Hispanic Affairs Council (CHAC) have met regularly to encourage professional development on diversity issues. 3B.5: Develop a Total Cost of Ownership model for facilities and equipment and implement such a program where it best serves the needs of the college. The Director of Facilities Planning and Plant Operations serves on a state-wide think tank consisting of five northern California Community College Districts that has been established to make recommendations to the State Chancellor’s office. These Districts consist of the following: Director Facilities Construction and Maintenance West Valley-Mission Community College 13 59 District; Director Ohlone College Facilities; Director of Facilities, Planning & Management Monterey Peninsula Community College District; Maintenance Supervisor Marin Community College District; Chief Facilities Planner Contra Costa Community College District; Facilities Planning & Plant Operations Director Cabrillo Community College District. The mission of the group is to develop a California Community College Maintenance & Operations Standards guidebook for cost planning & reference, to develop Maintenance and Operations standards and costs, to set up standards for design to include total cost of ownership required up front in order to get state funding; and new construction standards and up front costs. Cabrillo will defer directly addressing this self-identified item until the completion of the state-wide model. 3D.1: Refine and improve the classified staff hiring prioritization process and communicate its mechanisms to the staff of the college. As noted above, the process was developed and implemented in 2005-2006, but the recent budget constraints, resulting in some classified lay-offs and few replacement or new positions, has put this self-identified item on hold. The classified staff hiring prioritization process was last used officially in November 2007. Since early 2008 Cabinet has been using a "managed hiring process" to review, assess and determine which vacant classified positions can be filled at any given time given budget reductions and fiscal limitations. 4A.2: A clear explanation of the relationship between Program Planning and the decisionmaking process. The college is undergoing a review of the decision-making processes on campus and developing flow charts to illustrate the existing processes. This item is on hold until that review and evaluation are completed. 14 60 APPENDIX A College Planning Council Membership The College Planning Council (CPC) serves as the accreditation steering committee.

Assessment Plans The process for assessing the learning outcomes for each of the competency areas listed will be ongoing involving all in the division. We propose to use our flex meeting each semester to identify instruments for assessing one or more of our SLOs, analyze and discuss the results of completed assessments, and/or articulate priorities for improving student learning as suggested in the assessment results. Additional dialogue and planning may occur at regular counseling meetings as needed. We propose a Counseling Division SLO Task Force that will collect and record assessment instruments, present assessment results, facilitate dialogue, and document the process and priorities for improving student learning. This Task Force can include both faculty and classified members of the division. Currently we have a team of four willing to serve as the initial Task Force (Mario, Rudy, Anna, and Jay). The Task Force will consult with the college’s SLO Coordinator (currently Winnie) and staff from the PRO (currently Craig) as needed. We propose to rotate members on the Task Force, rotating two new members in every two years. We propose to evaluate outcomes for each competency over a 4 year cycle. In the 5th year the division will produce a Program Review that incorporates the results or our assessments in our program planning. Appendix C - 1a 72 Student Services: Student Learning Outcomes 2009 With this purpose in mind, we propose the following schedule: Four-year Cycle beginning Fall 2009 Fall 2009 Flex: approve program SLOs and Assessment Plan; discuss and approve objectives as needed; continue discussion at division meetings as needed. Over the course of the semester: Assess SLOs for Counseling and other services to students that can be measured through PRO survey. Spring 2010 Flex: analyze and dialogue on results of survey; articulate priorities for improving student learning as suggested in survey results; begin discussion to identify the fall 2010 instrument for assessing one or more of the SLOs not addressed in the fall 2009 survey. Over the course of the semester: implement the priorities for improving student learning identified at flex meeting. Fall 2010 Flex: identify instrument for assessing one or more of the SLOs not addressed in the fall 2009 survey; articulate priorities for improving student learning as by assessment; Over the course of the semester: Employ assessment instrument identified in Flex.

(II:B.1., II:B.4.) Therefore, the team recommends that the next master plan include an emphasis on planning for distance education and all off campus sites with regard to instruction and support services. Further, the master plan should address the evolving classified staffing needs in light of new technologies, facilities expansion, and operational Rec. 2 needs. (III:A.2., III:B.2.a.,III:B.2.b, III:C.). The team recommends that the college adopt a formal reserve policy. The college should establish a clear written reserve policy to protect the financial stability of the college in the support of Rec. 3 institutional effectiveness. (III:D.2.c.). The team recommends that the college update the "Governance Manual" (1999) to reflect the current governance processes used by the constituent groups of the college. The college should describe the charge of the committees and the composition of the Rec. 4 membership and how often they meet. (IV:A.2.a., IV:A.5.).

The library has since been demolished and the site has been prepared for the construction of a 14,000 square foot Green Technology Center. The District received a grant for $2.5 million from the Economic Development Agency for the project, and the grant was augmented by $865,000 to help fund the project to achieve a LEED Platinum level “green building” designation. Construction plans were approved by the Division of State Architect July 14. Bids were opened on Thursday September 9th, and the bid results are shown on the next page. Nine bidders responded to the bids, with Dilbeck & Sons, Salinas, CA the apparent low bidder. Due to the fact the low bid of $6,080,406 was substantially over the project construction budget of $5 million, staff has worked with the architect and project stake holders to explore options to reduce the construction and project cost. The stakeholders have identified minimum of $340,000.00 of items to be removed from the construction and staff has identified and additional $220,000.00 in reductions to original overall budget without reducing the project construction contingency. FISCAL IMPACT: Budget will be augmented in the amount of $520,000.00 from Measure D funds. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Governing Board award the bid for the Green Technology Center to Dilbeck & Sons, the lowest qualified bidder, in the amount of $6,080,000. The award of bid is contingent upon the staff obtaining a deductive change order of at least $340,000 and contingent on obtaining EDA approval to proceed. The change order will be brought to the next board meeting for approval.

In addition to these activities staff is working to resolve acoustic concerns in 2-D and 3-D Art and the Music Building and water leaks in the Theater and Music buildings. Thirteen of the nineteen contractors have either been closed out or will be closed shortly. A mediation with the remaining contractors, architect, and construction manager is scheduled for December 6. Health and Wellness Project The Allied Health project consists of two buildings totaling 57,000 square feet, and is the new home for programs such as Nursing, Radiology Technology, Medical Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Health and Wellness, and the Stroke Center. RMW is the architect and Soltek Pacific is the contractor. Construction began in May 2008, and currently the buildings are 100% complete. Staff is in the process of closing out the project. All remaining issues have been tentatively resolved with the contractor pending approval of change order 11 (under separate cover). Anticipated future changes are an estimate of potential additional work, not part of initial bid. Building 300 Renovation On February 1, 2010 the Governing Board approved awarding a bid in the amount of $1,560,136 to Tombleson Construction of Salinas for the renovation of the 300 building. The project will remodel/reconstruct 12,523 assignable square feet of space to provide needed instructional space for ten general purpose classrooms, two large meeting/class rooms and eight BELA division offices. The construction began in spring 2010 and is 58% complete. Scheduled completion is fall 2010 with classes starting in the building spring semester 2011. Watsonville Green Technology Center The District and the City of Watsonville closed escrow on the purchase of the Watsonville Library on July 15, 2008. Since then, the college has demolished the building in order to construct a 14,000 square foot Industrial Training Education Center (ITEC). The District received a grant for $2.5 million from Economic Development Agency for the project, and the grant was augmented by $865,000 this past summer to help fund an upgrade to a Platinum Level LEED certified “green” building. The project name has been changed to the Green Technology Center to reflect the new focus. The Division of State Architect (DSA) approved the plans in June of 2010 and EDA approved the plans and specifications in July. The project went to bid in August 2010 with the objective to request a recommendation for award at the October Board meeting. Awards of Informal Bids under the Uniform Construction Cost Accounting System (UCC): At the September 2005 Governing Board meeting, the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting System was adopted to enable the District to increase the formal bid limits from $15,000 to $125,000. By adopting the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting System, the Board authorized the President or his/her designee to enter into agreements with low bidders using the informal bidding process with the provision that the successful awards would be presented to the Board as an information item. This system enables the District to 1) informally bid projects under $125,000 to pre-qualified contractors, 2) more efficiently and effectively manage small to medium sized projects, and 3) contract with local contractors who are deemed “qualified” bidders. No bids were awarded in August or September 2 of 2 131 AGENDA ITEM BACKGROUND TO: GOVERNING BOARD DATE FROM: PRESIDENT SUBJECT: October 4, 2010 Governing Board Self Evaluation Process REASON FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION INFORMATION ITEM NUMBER ENCLOSURE(S) Page 1 of 1 E.7 BACKGROUND: In accordance with Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 1310, the Governing Board will review and discuss its performance.

Many of those who have lost their jobs or fear losing them are choosing to invest their time in acquiring knowledge, skills, and abilities that they hope will enable them to be more successful in a brutally competitive labor market. This is a good thing for the individuals, for their future employers, and for the community as a whole. Virtually everyone recognizes that a better educated workforce benefits everyone and that it is vital to our long term economic health to increase our capacity to serve the additional students driven to us by the recession. However, we are not immune from the effects of the recession. Cabrillo and the other public agencies responsible for workforce development have been forced to trim classes and other services as our budgets have been reduced. The Workforce Development 2.0 effort was launched in response to the recession. Diminishing state support challenged us to consider how we could be better stewards of the public resources we do have. The partnering agencies recognized that we could mitigate the impacts of diminishing resources by better aligning, coordinating, and integrating our services. Our initial explorations revealed substantial opportunities for increased efficiency and effectiveness. In the first year of operation we identified more projects than we could effectively execute. In evaluating the year’s efforts we realized the need to be more precise about the outcomes we were seeking and to establish indicators that could allow us to make more data-driven decisions about where our limited resources should be invested to have the most strategic impact. We also identified the need for staff who could help coordinate our multi-agency efforts. The Bay Area Workforce Funding Collaborative invited us to submit a proposal for funds to further our work. They enthusiastically accepted our request of $200,000, noting that our efforts to achieve better outcomes through redesign of services and improved alignment, coordination, and integration was exactly the kind of project they wished to fund. The grant funds will enable us to hire staff and utilize organizational development consultants to achieve these ends. We are now in the process of developing a shared understanding of who is to be served and how our collective efforts are to serve them. We are also identifying indicators that can be used to measure whether we are delivering the desired outcomes and indicators that can help us assess how well the different components of the system are functioning. (continued on next page) Administrator Initiating Item: Rock Pfotenhauer, Dean, CEED Renée M. Kilmer, VP Instruction Academic and Professional Matter If yes, Faculty Senate Agreement Senate President Signature Yes No Yes No Final Disposition 133 The following pages contain the latest draft of our efforts. The draft is based on input from the many partners including the Employment and Benefits Services Division of the County Human Services Department, the Workforce Investment Board, the Employment Development Department, the County Office of Education, the Department of Rehabilitation, the adult schools, and Shoreline Occupational Services. We have also integrated the members of the CTE Community Collaborative into this effort, which brings in the Regional Occupational Program and the high school districts. The draft will undergo more review and rewrites in the next few weeks. Simultaneously we will begin work with the Planning and Research Office to determine how each of the indicators can actually be measured. We expect this list to be trimmed to those which are both feasible to measure and most critical to informing our change efforts. Once the indicators are established we will begin collection of data from across the partners, establish base lines, and then set targets for improvement. Our next step will be to develop and execute strategies that are informed by an analysis of the indicators. This work is directly aligned with the following College Master Plan goals and objectives: Goal C: Provide pathways to prosperity through career technical education (CTE). Objective C1: Define clear career technical education pathways to the college through partnerships with educational and workforce development institutions. Objective C2: Provide students with the literacy, numeracy, communication skills, knowledge and abilities necessary for success in basic skills, CTE and transfer. Objective C3: Offer CTE programs that inform students of career opportunities and requirements, address needs of local and regional employers, and prepare students for lifelong career advancement and prosperity. Objective C4: Support graduates in finding jobs in their area of study and assist employers in hiring our qualified students and graduates. Objective A2: Clarify and communicate the pathways to and through Cabrillo College and assist students in navigating these pathways. Objective E2: Promote communication and collaboration between Cabrillo and other organizations in the community. It will be helpful to this effort to receive an informal indication from the board of whether we are headed in the right direction. Your comments and questions will inform the next rewrite of the following pages. 2 134 WD 2.0 Goals & Indicators DRAFT 0.3 Economic Prosperity Through Workforce Development A workforce development system that provides pathways to prosperity for: Students/Customers/Clients by o Supporting the setting of well-informed career objectives o Providing pathways that through education and job experience lead to rewarding jobs & careers that pay family-supporting wages o Providing supportive services that enable families to move successfully through education to self-sustaining work Business & Employers by o Providing sufficient, well-qualified candidates to fill local jobs that pay living wages o Providing education that increases employee and business productivity the Community by o Providing a well-trained workforce that meets critical community needs o Providing all members of the community with access to education that leads to career advancement o Using public investments efficiently and effectively 3 135 WD 2.0 Indicators 1) Are we offering programs of study that provide access to careers that pay family supporting wages; that serve existing and emerging industries; and that meet important community needs? a) Comparison of programs offered to labor market information and trends 2) Are the programs of study we offer meeting the needs of employers? a) Review of program learning outcomes by employers b) Comparison of program size to size of labor market 3) Are we providing a successful process for assisting students to set career goals? a) % of students who have career goal on entry into post secondary ed 4) Are the programs of study we offer accessible to all members of our community? a) Geographic, ethnic representation at beginning and end of program and at job placement 5) Are we retaining students to completion? a) Retention rate from start of high school, start of college, start of program 6) Are students participating in work-based learning? a) # and % of students in internships, job shadowing, etc. 7) Are our students taking full advantage of available support services and resources? a) # and % of students utilizing BOGW, Pell, WIA, CalWORKs, TAA, Food Stamps, scholarships, DSPS, EOPs, etc. 8) Are we connecting segments and programs to provide more complete and effective pathways? a) # and % of students who have completed a high school CTE program of study b) # and % of high school CTE students who have completed a Cabrillo CTE course c) # and % of CTE students receiving articulated credit d) # and % of students who complete a Cabrillo CTE course who completed a related course through high school/ROP e) Transfer rate from high school/ROP CTE to Cabrillo, apprenticeship programs f) Transfer rate from adult schools to Cabrillo g) First year success rate for transfers from high schools/ROP and adult schools h) Participation rate of Cabrillo students in COE, Shoreline, CAB work experience programs 9) Is our curriculum and instruction effective at producing the intended learning outcomes? a) Program completion rates b) Job placement rates within 1 year of program completion c) Annual wages before and after education d) Comparison of wages to family-supporting wage e) Employer satisfaction f) Retention in employment g) Completer and leaver satisfaction 10) Do programs have the necessary technology and supplies to effectively teach the curriculum? a) Industry advisory group assessment 11) Are our programs efficient? a) ROI: total cost per participant/wages earned annually 4 136 AGENDA ITEM BACKGROUND TO: GOVERNING BOARD DATE FROM: PRESIDENT SUBJECT: October 4, 2010 Children’s Center Re-accreditation Application REASON FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION INFORMATION ITEM NUMBER ENCLOSURE(S) Page 1 of 1 E.9 Background: The Cabrillo College Children’s Center has initiated the process of Re-Accreditation with the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The Children’s Center was the first program in Santa Cruz County to achieve the rigorous requirements of NAEYC Accreditation many years ago. National Accreditation is valid for four-year terms. In partnership with college leadership and center staff, the Director has initiated the application for re-accreditation and has involved staff in the self-study process required for re-Accreditation. The Center staff has concluded these processes and is in the process of selfassessment, which includes developing classroom and program portfolios, conducting family and teacher surveys and compiling documents for acceptance of candidacy. The Center will be submitting candidacy materials at the end of this month. The staff will continue to document the Center’s self-assessment in preparation for Accreditation. We expect our candidacy to be accepted and anticipate an Accreditation visit in February or March of 2011. Administrator Initiating Item: Nancy Brown, Dean, HASS Renée M.
