www.cabrillo.edu/services/tlc/fall2010flex
“It Takes a Village”
Some say the phrase
is an African proverb
describing the role of
the village in raising
its children. Hillary
Clinton used the
famous phrase to talk
about the network of
relationships and values
that connect us and
binds us together.
WORKSHOPS FOR ALL
The following list of Flex Calendar activities are highlighted to indicate they may be of particular interest to both staff and faculty. Join your friends and colleagues this Flex Week to learn about
student support strategies, best practices for retention, building a learning community, instructional
programs successful with our diverse student population, and smarter ways to use technology in teaching and learning. Dotted descriptions indicate workshops after 4pm. The calendar website is located at
www.cabrillo.edu/services/tlc/fall2010flex.

LOWERING THE COST OF TEXTBOOKS FOR OUR STUDENTS
Textbooks can represent 59% of the cost of attending a California Community College. This financial burden can be so great
on students that they delay, or in some cases abandon, their educational goals. Working together the college can address this
expense for our students. It will take a “village” working together to affect real change in this dynamic marketplace to assure
that our students have access to the course materials that will insure their success today. Many ideas for lowering textbook
costs will be presented by faculty, students and administration.

Social Issues in Science and Math Courses — Taboo or Important?
Join us for a facilitated discussion on whether and how to bring up social and political issues in our science and math
courses. Is there an implied taboo around these topics in science and math classes? What are some ways to bring up these
issues without being biased or compromising the rigor of the course? How can these issues be included without taking away
from a tightly packed curriculum? The discussion will be focused mainly on the concerns and perspectives of science/math/
engineering faculty and staff, but interested people from other disciplines are welcome to attend.

State Disability Insurance for Adjunct Faculty Members
Adjunct faculty members currently have no disability coverage through
their employment with Cabrillo. A recent state law allows the union to
negotiate, and adjunct faculty to elect, to have State Disability Insurance
(SDI) coverage. The coverage would apply to ALL adjunct faculty members and would be paid for via a 1.1% payroll deduction from adjunct
paychecks. This workshop is being provided to help adjuncts determine
whether or not they want the union to pursue this option.

community services that Land of Medicine Buddha offers as well as have the opportunity to visit the Meditation Hall, the
Memorial Shrine (decorated with detailed paintings and traditional Tibetan designs, and set amidst towering redwoods), and
the three Prayer Wheels. We also will hike the Eight Verses Pilgrimage Trail, a loop trail that begins beside a little fishpond
in the corner of a meadow and meanders through the redwood forest. Carpooling is a must, and we will meet in parking lot

Negotiating the Postmodern American Dream Myth: Circuits of Migration and Nationalism
Telling our stories to each other is one way to bind and build a thriving democratic society. As we begin our courses, many of
us ask our students to share their stories with us, and we share in return, to create a sense of community in our classrooms. In
this session we will show two films. The first, White Power USA: The Rise of Right Wing Militias (2010), is a documentary
directed by Rick Rowley & Jacquie Soohen that examines the rise of neo-conservative groups, the Minute Men and the Tea
Party Movements, which target Latinos/as and African Americans during these trying times of economic recession/depression and social strife. The plot line of Sin Nombre (2009), the second film—directed by Cary Fukunga who received Best
Director at the Sundance Festival—reveals the dangers displaced immigrants face even long before they reach the border. Its
setting is atop the freight cars of a train that runs north through Mexico from Central and South America. The story follows
the journeys of two very different characters: a young woman from Honduras who is riding the cars with her cousins and a
young gang member who robs those who ride the cars. Both characters are the age of many of our students, or the age of their
parents when they immigrated to the United States years ago. As their universal story unravels, we see the courage and hope
each one must discover in order to avoid the constant life-threatening obstacles. After viewing the films we will discuss how
aspects of the postmodern American Dream myth motivate each of these characters in different ways. We will also set aside
time for our participants to share specific books, stories and films which they believe worthwhile to our current understanding
of the American Dream myth—not only for classroom use but for our continuing education as faculty about matters which
are so vital to our community and the villages we help build within our college.

What Do You Do With a Drunken Student? A Cabrillo Community Approach to Student Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Drug and alcohol use is a common element of youth culture. But sometimes things go awry. Some students battle daily with
drug or alcohol abuse problems. They’re the ones who have moved beyond experimental use and found themselves in the
troubled rabbit holes of drug abuse and addiction. What is our role in intervening with students who have a drug or alcohol
problem serious enough to impair their judgment and their academic and personal lives? This workshop will discuss how we,
individually and as a community, help these students. Participants and facilitators will discuss their experiences with drug
and alcohol-abusing students, role play actual vignettes, address potential actions to take and identify resources available for
helping these troubled members of our campus community. This workshop is a follow-up to our highly successful “Wake

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.
