If this is a sub-committee meeting, what is the name/function of the sub-committee in relationship to the larger Accreditation Implementation Committee? n/a

 

I. Old Business (review/update of previous discussions and actions):

- Notes for April 29, 2002 meeting:  approved with amendment to add "i.e." on the second page after "Common Skills."

- Notes for September 16, 2002 meeting:  approved as distributed.

 

II. New Business (plans/deadlines for new initiatives and actions):

DRAFT 4 - Program Review Process

 

- Kathy indicated that she and Gail had developed and included a section on the Program Review Process on p. 3.  Discusion ensued about whether the committee should recommend the frequency of units reporting on their program review activity (annual, every 5 years, etc.)

         Approved: leave the reporting requirement at 3-5 years and let the units decide on the                     

                           frequency.

 

- The Strategic Plan schematic of the LCC Organizational Structure was distributed.  It appears to be similar to our unit breakdown in Draft 4.

         Approved: incorporate the SP Organizational Structure in our Report; check to see that the units are the same.  Also, acknowledge that the breakdown for the "Instruction" unit is yet to be determined.

 

- Should the Program Review Committee develop a checklist for reporting that might include a plan of action, timeline, outcome measures, methodology, etc.  Draft 4 details that annual steps that each review unit should follow.  Discussion: do we want to be prescriptive?

         Approved: that the Draft simply state that the units should do a program review.

 

- Andy will be reviewing the Guam Community College template for Program Review to see if it is assessing the information that is needed.  Report at the next meeting.

 

 

III. Miscellaneous Items:

Bernadette offered October 29, 2002 (previously scheduled for an Assessment Open Forum) as an opportunity to have our Draft available for campus input.  The next meeting will be to finalize our Program Review Report.
