SHARED GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
SELF-EVALUATION FORM
Shared Governance Committee: Staff Development
Evaluation for Academic Year: 2010-2011
1. Please indicate the dates of each of your meetings in the past year.
Are the minutes of these meetings all posted on your web site?
We have met 10 times already with one more meeting left in June which results in 11
committee meetings for the year. This of course, does not indicate the additional
meetings that the sub-committee held throughout the year. We had three active subcommittees, the Handbook subcommittee, the Flex Day sub-committee and the
Holiday party subcommittee. All the agendas and minutes are posted except for May
and June.
2. What would you consider to be the main accomplishments/tasks that your
committee achieved this academic year? Please include progress made toward
last year’s recommendations.
Our committee is very pleased with the accomplishments this year. Each year we
seem to improve as experience is gained. Out of all the work done, the main
accomplishments are:
 Online Training – In conjunction with IT, two online trainings have been
made available; DARE to CARE, a DSPS training that aims at awareness
of students with learning disabilities and MS IT Academy, online training
to further develop Microsoft skills. This was one of the recommendations
made to the committee last year.
 Faculty Academy – A 4-week session dedicated to new adjunct and fulltime faculty with the aim of welcoming them and assisting them with their
profession. We had 8 new faculty members participate as well as other
faculty members who joined the training.
 Faculty workshops – Five faculty members presented workshops that are
related to their area of expertise. These workshops were welcomed by all
and plan to offer them next year.
 Cultural events – the committee has collaborated with ASO in providing
quality cultural events that benefits both students and staff.
 One to one training – Academic affairs and staff development partner is
providing one to one training to targeted faculty who needed training on
online grading, faculty portal, email and Microsoft.
 Customized training- Staff development has provided customized training
to disciplines and departments. We provided 5 training sessions targeting
Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, EOPS, general supervisors and
faculty from all disciplines.
 Flex Day- A successful flex day was coordinated last year.
 Postings for minutes and agendas – Co-chair received additional training
from IT so that the postings of the minutes and agenda were done
correctly. Last year, these documents were posted but somehow were
unable to open.
3. What prioritized goals for this year were you unable to complete or are still in
progress?
We are still in the process of finding proper channels of marketing events and improving
attendance. We had this similar challenge last year and faced it this year as well. This is
an area that will still require time and effort.
4. Please list your prioritized goals for the next academic year.
 Staff development committee to be the liaison between accreditation and
faculty and staff. We would like to be involved in the training component so
that participation in this area can become more institutionalized.
 Staff Development to be more involved in institution based activities, such as
master planning, budget and planning, etc. Committee would like to take these
areas and inform or train staff and faculty about these very important areas.
 Improve marketing so that attendance can improve
 Continue marketing the customized training to faculty and staff
 Make stronger connection with ASO so that cultural events can be better
coordinated.
 Provide workshops that are relevant and interesting to staff.
 Offer workshops at times and days that are in demand.
5. Does your charter accurately reflect the committee’s focus? If not, please explain.
Yes
6. Is membership tenure reflected accurately on the web site?
We believe so at this time.
7. Is your membership adequate to meet the work challenges of the committee?
There are only 7 members appointed to this committee. The committee has
become more active with more events and more involvement in the goal and
objectives of its charter; therefore, we feel that more members should be added to
this committee. Additionally, an ASO representative was never assigned to this
committee.
8. Please list the dates that one or both of the co chairs of your committee attended
the SGTF monthly meetings.
Yes, there was consistent attendance to the SFTF meetings.
9. Do you have any suggestions for the SGTF that could improve our Shared
Governance process or make it more efficient?
