Approved minutes of Sept. 14 TLP Update Nancy reported on the TLP presentation to the College Assembly on Oct. 2. Richard thought it was particularly impressive to have so many speakers report on assessment efforts college wide. Ken heard that Curtis got the most laughs. Nancy also reported that the entire Academic Senate drank the purple kool aid – no, that’s not right- they merely approved the Next Steps in Institutionalizing Assessment at агАЩДЋУН proposal. Now the GE Committee is empowered. We will all drink from the bottle that says “drink me” at the next meeting and grow very tall. GE Course Outlines and Addendum Cindy is still working on updating the form that we use to evaluate new GE courses Richard brought up the topic of whether or not we should have some kind of uniform English advisories for GE courses. They vary considerably right now, and some GE courses have no English advisories at all, which seems contradictory for transferable courses that by definition include a criterion for college level reading and writing skills. To rectify this situation, we will send out a letter along with a minor change of course outline form to department chairs who have courses with no advisories, asking them to indicate eligibility for English 90 or 100 as an advisory. Nancy will write a blurb explaining what students can be expected to know and do at those levels, and Richard will send out the forms. Hopefully they will be returned in time for us to make changes in next year’s catalogue. We also agreed that the GE Committee should initiate a study with the Office of Institutional Research that investigates issues of enrollment and success in GE courses, depending on a student’s level of English preparation. Cindy, Eileen and Gil are working to correct a glitch with newly approved GE courses getting listed in the correct box on the counseling sheets and the catalogue page that detail options for meeting GE requirements. GE enrollment data: market driven vs. planned approach? We decided this really wasn’t our decision to make, but we would like to bring this back as a new and improved agenda item – How do we ensure that all GE courses observe a similar standard with respect to expectations that students will meet the GE outcomes? Reinvigorating GE With power comes responsibility, and we now need to take responsibility for providing professional development for GE faculty. We generally agreed that it would make sense to connect this professional development with current assessment efforts, so if we can pull it off for January we will try to plan a full day workshop on Critical/Creative Thinking. Gil will contact some folks from the Sonoma State Critical Thinking Institute to see if they can make a three hour presentation in the morning, especially addressing the issues of content coverage “vs” teaching critical thinking, and the question of what we can reasonably expect from our students in terms of their ability to think critically and creatively. GE Assessment What’s next? Since the GE Committee now needs to make decisions about what is assessed and how, GE faculty should be informed of this, and invited once again to join the committee or elect a representative. This may be coordinated by TLP as this is true for the other TLP “areas” as well. This will be an item on the TLP agenda next week. Myra would like to present the Foothill approach to course embedded assessment, but we ran out of time and Gil insisted we leave the room immediately. Come back next time, Myra- we will meet on Nov. 9 in the fishbowl room in Nursing.
