February Workshops:
The February workshops will be Tuesday, February 24 at
Self Study Process: We reviewed samples of self study guidelines from other institutions. We decided we needed to focus this process on learning and teaching rather than on resources/inputs. We will ask departments to describe their vision/mission statement and discuss plans for the future. They will be asked to provide assessment results and other information that supports those plans for the future. We may want to ask departments how they have used the assessment information gathered at the college and department levels. We considered whether each report should include a SWOT analysis. The departmental process should be integrated with the core goals and the strategic plan. Kay and Viann will meet as a subcommittee to develop a draft for review at the March 15 meeting.
College Student Experiences Questionnaire: Suggestions for additional questions to be included on the survey should be sent to Kay prior to spring break. The questionnaire will be distributed to fourth year students in early/mid-March.
