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.
Plans for this discipline are impeded by the lack of a FT faculty and though PT faculty in this area have been
actively engaged in the SLO/Assessment process and the updating of course outlines. Enrollment and
retention numbers are high. We intend to maintain high numbers until we are able to hire a FT faculty.
