VIII. Action Plan
Please describe your plan for responding to the above data. Consider curriculum,
pedagogy/instructional, scheduling, and marketing strategies. Also, please reference any cross district
collaboration with the same discipline at other Peralta colleges.
Include overall plans/goals and specific action steps.
We have limited personnel / resources for curriculum development. It is recommended that at least 0.6
FTEF faculty be hired. It would be ideal to offer at least two out of 3 philosophy classes per semester,
one for daytime and one for evening/weekend. Developing interdisciplinary courses with
Humanities/Ethnic Studies should also be explored.
