Recorder: Kelli Miller ABSENT: Brannick, Monika; Brock, Perri; Harland, John; Metzger, Wendy;

Mumford, Michael; Smith, Mona; Torgison, Cindy; Voth, Anne; GUESTS: None CALL TO ORDER: Jay Wiestling, Mathematics Department Chair, called the meeting to

order at 2:02pm PM in room E-1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: August 17th minutes on the 1st page under Department Chair Report #1,

should be Dean’s address not President’s. It was M/S (M. Clark/T. Johnston) to approve the minutes as corrected.

REPORTS: Sabbatical Project Report Shannon Lienhart reported:

1. Students have been using the 7th instead of the 8th edition of the calculus book, asking what the differences are in the homework problems. Shannon created a set of problems with the answers so that students could use whichever book they chose for resources but have one set of problems to work on.

2. Shannon is willing to make them available to anyone who would like them and then individual instructors can modify them as then need. It is posted on her blackboard site if you want to look at them.

3. Fari suggested that if Shannon was okay with it, they could be put on the Math Tutorial website so all faculty had access (it can only be accessed from the Palomar campus) and Shannon said this was fine.

Summer Bridge Cindy Anfinson reported:

1. 74.36% of the students passed. They were also given 8 1/2 hours of reading instruction which made a big improvement in their reading levels. Martha also worked with ESL Summer Bridge and 13 of 17 students passed. 12 of those 13 increased their ESL placement.

Math Center Cindy Anfinson reported:

1. The Math Center made the newspaper with a quote from Jay Wiestling in it.

Website Cindy Anfinson reported:

1. Myedu.com, a website that lists grade distribution, gives GPA, histogram for all classes, has comments about instructors – looks to have been operating for about a year now. It is nationwide.

Obs. from SLO Assessments Jay Wiestling reported:

1. Cindy T suggested input for the SLO before we give them out.

2. Wendy was not here to report. 3. Greg already made a presentation previously. 4. Mona Ellis will send out an email. 5. David gave problems at the final and 16 of 17 students

were able to answer. Copier Jay Wiestling reported:

1. Copier should be here on the Monday following this meeting.

2. District signed an exclusive agreement with Konica so we could not go with the former company we had used.

3. It will be a scanner and fax machine as well as a copier/printer. When the printer at Mona and Kelli’s desk dies, it will not be replaced. This copier will be networked for all.

4. There will be the same but smaller sized copier in the Math Center and it will be networked as well.

5. Each person will have their own code/account for the copiers.

Assessment Coordinator Position Jay Wiestling reported:

1. Diane McAllister is retiring and he feels it is important that we have a Math faculty member on the committee for input.

2. Fari nominated Mathews as a committee member and he accepted. Jay will notify the committee chairperson.

Workshop Jay Wiestling reported:

1. Next month there will be a workshop on Concepts of Numbers (Wendy and Anne have been working with this in their classes this semester as a pilot). It is a new way of teaching arithmetic/algebra. It will be 2-5pm on Friday October 19, 2012. Consider it mandatory. It can be used for PD, code is 112.

2. Karen and Cindy A spoke about substituting in Wendy/Anne class and the success the students seemed to be having so far.

3. STEM grant is paying for this training and tutors will be trained as well.

Substitutes Jay Wiestling reported:

1. There will be no substitutes for 50 minute or less classes. The District spent $300000.00 on substitutes last year and the cost has to be brought down.

Learning Outcomes Jay Wiestling reported:

1. His previous statement about only putting the Learning Outcome on your syllabus for SLO’s being assessed was wrong. It must be on for all of them every semester. He suggested cutting and pasting from the website.

2. Shannon suggested that you add, that accreditation mandates this be included but that it is not the only standard that students will be held too, that they will be expected to learn more than just what is said in the Learning Outcome.

Cheating Jay Wiestling reported:

1. A recommendation that you put consequences on your syllabus for students caught cheating.

2. You need to fill out an incident report with Sherri Titus for each student you catch cheating so that there is a record.

3. Jay also recommended that you put in your syllabus that students must keep all their graded paperwork for the semester if they want to dispute a grade.

4. Mark Walker stated that he gives his students two weeks to dispute a grade not entered properly with verification.

Adjunct Evaluations Jay Wiestling reported:

1. He would be asking some faculty members to help out with evaluations.

2. There is a revised form with the first 2 pages having little change. On the 3rd page the question regarding the syllabus has been changed to a yes/no question. There is still a summary, but there is now a page for department chairperson input. Please don’t send in the evaluation without getting this from Jay.

3. Shannon expressed that if you are doing an evaluation DON’T be nice if the instructor is not doing their job. Once an instructor is on the preference list, even if they are a bad instructor, it is difficult to get them off the list. If they are on the list Jay has to offer them a class.

4. Jay said that yes there is a problem hiring adjunct, but some that are not doing their jobs need to be removed.

5. Some discussion ensued about setting two levels of standards, maybe a level of experience, so that instructors are meeting qualifications for class levels.

PD Contract Jay Wiestling reported:

1. Your contracts are due September 15, 2012. Get on it if you haven’t done it.

Dept. Policy/Over Enroll Jay Wiestling reported:

1. The original 40 (or whatever your enrollment number is), should be given priority seating until the class starts. If one of them is late to class, they do not get priority

seating. Once class starts students you have added can take seats.

2. Jay relayed the issue he had with one parent about their child not getting priority seating and without allowing Jay to work on the problem, immediately called the Mayor’s office and the fire department. We were able to make some changes to classes with Berta’s help so that the fire marshal wasn’t called in.

3. Jay has been trying for 10 years to get someone on this campus to admit to him what the fire marshal code (regarding room capacity) is and no one has an answer.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: November 12th is Veteran’s Day and December 14th is the last day of

classes ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 2:53 PM.

After some discussion, some Senators volunteered to fill vacancies and a motion was brought forward for approval.

Motion 4 O’Brien, Laughlin: Faculty Senate approval of the following committee appointments: Elections Committee Barb Kelber

Faculty Senate Meeting, August 20, 2012 Page 3 Professional Procedures Committee Pam McDonough Human Resources Planning Council Christina Moore The motion carried. Distinguished Faculty Award Governance Structure: Senators were provided with a copy of the Governance Structure Group Request form currently being proposed by the Distinguished Faculty Award Committee. Role: To select faculty members to be recipients of the Distinguished Faculty Award. Reporting Relationship: Faculty Senate Meeting Schedule: At least three times a year.

Chair: The Chair will be the DFA full-time faculty winner from two years prior. The Vice-Chair will be the DFA full-time faculty winner of the previous year. The Chair and the Vice-Chair will work closely together to prepare the Vice-Chair for the next year’s Chair position. The Chair will then serve one more year on the committee as a member. Faculty Members: Up to 8 full time Faculty at-large (at least 3 of whom are former recipients) and up to 3 adjunct Faculty. Patrick O’Brien indicated that he would be bringing this item back for Action at next week’s meeting.

Team Life Governance Structure: Greg Larson stated that the Team Life Committee is seeking a Faculty Senate

representative. There was some question from Senators as to why it had to be a Senate representative rather than a faculty member at-large. Copies of the proposed Governance Structure will be brought to next week’s meeting.

Student Services Resources: Lillian Payn brought forward a recommendation of the Academic Technology Committee

(ATC) to address Title V requirements that students be offered the same services made available to face-to-face students. While one solution would be for online instructors to include a services page on their syllabi, another would be to have a global page on Palomar.edu with those services. The ATC recommends that rather than instructors providing their own page, that all instructors direct students to the same online page (hht://www.palomar.edu/students/) as this would save instructors from having to duplicate something available elsewhere, and it would be easier to keep a single page up-to-date. The ATC also recommended specific things to make the page more useful, including fixing broken links and adding phone numbers. The ATC also recommends placing a link to the page in “Quick Links,” a link in eServices for students (both face-to-face and online) to see when they register, and a reference to this page in Palomar Online Education Training (POET) as a recommendation for instructors to include the link on their syllabi.

Faculty Senate Meeting, August 20, 2012 Page 4 This item will be brought for Action at next week’s meeting. Student Success Task Force Recommendations: Greg Larson reminded Senators that the Governance Structure for the Faculty Advisory

Board on Student Success Task Force Recommendations was approved by the Senate at its May 7, 2012, meeting. The structure for the board is as follows:

CHAIR: Two Faculty Senators: Co-Chairs Members: One faculty representative from each of the following: Basic Skills Committee Curriculum Committee Learning Outcomes Council Student Services Planning Council Other members: VP of Instruction Invited as needed: Faculty at large Representation of constituencies such as Matriculation Articulation Counseling Student Services Financial Services Research and Planning

Lengthy discussion followed on the roles and responsibilities, as well as membership of the Board. There was some concern expressed that there may be overlap with other groups, such as the Student Services Planning Council (SSPC), although there is probably overlap with other groups as well. Some Senators questioned whether instead of the Faculty Advisory Board, a work group should be formed to discuss strategies and then meet with the appropriate committee(s) and bring those ideas together. However, one Senator noted that the Senate discussed this issue over several weeks last semester and agreed that the formation of the Faculty Advisory Board (FAB) was the appropriate course of action, particularly when there are only two instructional faculty members currently serving on the SSPC. The spirit behind the recommendation to form the Faculty Advisory Board was to ensure that faculty had a voice in important decisions made in response to the Student Success Task Force Recommendations. Another Senator reminded the Senate that the Committee Structure was approved last year, so now it is time to choose the co-chairs. Once the Board is formed the members can begin to more clearly focus their goals. Senators agreed to review the Governance Structure again and bring this item back for further discussion and/or action next week.

In relation to the actual recommendations, Greg Larson indicated that there are a total of 22, with 9 slated for immediate implementation. Among the 9 that are highly prioritized are:

--Collaboration with K-12 to establish common academic standards --Common assessments

--Enrollment priorities for students based on how successfully they follow the mission of the college and adhere to an educational plan.

Faculty Senate Meeting, August 20, 2012 Page 5 --Enrollment Management

--Student Success Score Card .

Discussion followed on the recommendations, the ways in which they might affect students and the college as a whole, and the need to provide resources for students.

ASG: Angel Jimenez provided the following report from the ASG: One introduction event has been held to allow an opportunity for students to meet the

new ASG President and Vice President, with another one scheduled. Because of the success of the day, an Orientation has been scheduled for next week to provide additional information about service in Student Government.

Palomar will work with CSUSM and Mira Costa to collaborate on an event to support the

passage of Proposition 30 and the importance of voting. The ASG will schedule a “Scholarship Day” with numerous organizations, including the

Palomar College Foundation, to provide information on scholarship opportunities available to students.

Jiminez is working to create a program to acknowledge “Star Students” each month.

Faculty will be asked to identify those “star” students who stand out in their classes and submit those names to the ASG. The ASG will then acknowledge those students by visiting the classroom and presenting them with a certificate of recognition. It is hoped that such a program will not only elevate school spirit, but promote the ASG and increase membership interest.

Over the summer, Jiminez was elected as the SSCCC Regional Advocacy Senator and

will travel to Sacramento each month to attend those meetings. She was also appointed as Region X Advocacy Senator on the SSCCC Council (Equity and Diversity Committee Academic Senate Student Rep for Standards, Equity, Access and Practices Committee).

The first meeting of the ASG for the semester will be held on Wednesday, August 22,

2012, at 1:00 p.m. Learning Outcomes Council: Katy French reported that many of the colleges have begun submitting their reports to the

ACCJC, with Palomar’s due in the spring. The first round of assessments for Information Literacy and Critical and Creative

Thinking for General Education/Institutional Learning Outcomes (GE/ILO’s) is complete, and a draft report has been completed with the results, observations, ideas, and recommendations. This draft will go to the Learning Outcomes Council (LOC) for approval in the next few weeks. It will then be brought to the Senate before it is distributed college-wide.

French added that she and Marty Furch have been invited to speak by the Research &

Planning group at the Student Success Conference about Palomar’s GE Assessment Plans and the approach used in their implementation.

Faculty Senate Meeting, August 20, 2012 Page 6 Strategic Planning Council: Greg Larson stated that members of the Strategic Planning Council held their Orientation

meeting last week. The group has scheduled its next meeting early in September. Governing Board: Greg Larson indicated that the Governing Board meetings over the summer were focused

on upcoming projects. There was also much discussion on Proposition 30 and efforts underway by ASG President Jonathan Farmer and Trustee Chadwick to promote its passage.

Palomar Faculty Federation: Jackie Martin reported that the Palomar Faculty Federation (PFF) was very active over

the summer. The annual audit has been completed and went well despite the challenges involved with a change of leadership and the hiring of a new administrative assistant.

Faculty members are encouraged to check the PFF blog to keep up-to-date on the

activities of the PFF, and they have hopefully participated in the recent survey to provide alternatives to potential salary cuts.

Instructional Planning Council: Linda Morrow reminded all that PRP’s are due to deans on September 14, 2012. Academic Technology: Lillian Payn provided the following report on Academic Technology: Six new POET Certificates were issued over the summer months, and twenty-five faculty

members are currently enrolled. A “Blackboard Learn” upgrade was completed in June, and on August 2-5 Blackboard was closed down to complete a major upgrade. To address any further database issues, David Gray has been approved to obtain some additional “My Sequel” training.

The Academic Technology Committee will hold their first meeting of the semester on Thursday, August 23.

ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 3:29 p.m. Respectfully submitted,

GE/ILO Assessment Plans 2012: Copies of the GE/ILO Spring 2012 Assessment plans were distributed for information: FE/ILO Spring Assessment Plans LOC report to Faculty Senate January 30, 2012 GE/ILOs to be assessed in Spring 2012 Critical and Creative Thinking Information Literacy Description of Assessment Project Together with the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, LOC will identify a random sample of courses

with one or more course SLOs mapped to one of the GE/Institutional Learning Outcomes being assessed this semester (critical and creative thinking; information literacy).

Faculty teaching those identified courses will be invited to participate in the assessment of the outcome(s).

Participating faculty will select student work (e.g. exam, assignment, portfolio) that demonstrates students’ ability to meet the outcome. They will assess the outcome by applying a common rubric to student work. The draft rubrics were developed by a PC faculty group in the summer of 2011. Participating faculty will refine and norm the rubrics prior to using them.

After assessment, the faculty will provide summary reports to an LOC-appointed faculty group who will

compile the data, including feedback about the assessment process and the viability of the rubrics. The faculty who participate will be compensated via the Strategic Planning Priority Funding approved by the Strategic Planning Council.

1. To be eligible to participate, the course must have at least one course SLO mapped to the GE/ILO to be

assessed. 2. Topics, independent study, noncredit, and cross-listed courses are not eligible for selection. 3. Sections must have more than five (5) students in the section, and class must start by January 30 (census

day). 4. Institutional Research & Planning staff will provide a random sample of courses/sections to be assessed. 5. If an adequate number of sections is not selected in the first sample, a second sample will be pulled until

LOC confirms 20 sections for each GE/ILO being assessed. 20 sections are ample for a pilot program of this nature.

6. A student roster will be re-pulled at the time of the assessment due date to ensure that students are enrolled in the section.

7. Faculty whose courses are selected will be contacted individually by the SLOAC Coordinators and/or POD Squad members and asked to participate. Faculty are not obligated to participate.

Faculty Senate Meeting, January 30, 2012 Page 3

8. POD Squad members representing each division will contact participating faculty in the division to offer to serve as a guide/contact during the process. POD Squad members will be compensated with 2011-12 SPPF money.

9. Faculty must sign an agreement outlining their responsibilities and LOC responsibilities throughout the process.

10. Faculty must participate in training and must review, revise, and norm the rubrics. Faculty will administer the assessment and score student artifacts using the rubrics.

11. Faculty will report the rubric scores for each student using a reporting form developed by IR&P. Rubric scores must be submitted to LOC by early May.

12. Faculty will report their experiences throughout the process via surveys, focus groups, and/or other means as appropriate.

13. Upon completion of the process, faculty will receive a $500 stipend from SPPF money for their participation.

14. A group appointed by LOC will analyze the assessment data and the process in Summer 2012. 15. Information should be disseminated to faculty. Assessment planning information – including the timeline,

the process, and the rubrics – should be included on the Learning Outcomes website.

Katy French also provided drafts for GE/Institutional SLO Critical & Creative Thinking, and GE/Institutional SLO Information Literacy rubrics. French indicated that the documents were developed over the summer. The rubrics will be reviewed and amended as necessary by faculty who will then participate in the assessment. More information on how the data will be used will be available later this semester. A lengthy question and answer period followed as Senators reviewed the documents. French indicated that, after the initial study, if the college decides to move forward with this assessment method, the number of participating sections will rise to approximately 40-50 sections. In response to a question regarding student anonymity, French indicated that all student and faculty names will be removed before analysis.

Grant Procedure: At last week’s meeting, Senators discussed the process used for grant application, and questioned whether a formal process exists at Palomar. Currently, a faculty member would discuss their intent to apply for a grant with their dean and the Vice President of Instruction. Michelle Barton would also be included in the discussion because of her expertise in the grant writing process.

There was additional discussion on the current process, noting that grants including

significant release time or stipends need to go through the Palomar Faculty Federation. Rather than coming up with a formal procedure, Senators agreed that the Senate President should provide general directions via email to all department chairs, deans, the Vice President of Instruction, the Palomar College Foundation, and Michelle Barton, outlining the various steps needed for a successful outcome.

Student Success Task Force: Monika Brannick indicated that, in an effort to keep everyone informed of the progress

toward implementation of the Student Success Task Force recommendations, the Chancellor’s Communications Office has launched a monthly newsletter. The newsletter will be distributed to all Chief Instructional Officers in an attempt to keep everyone updated on the progress, key dates, legislation, and other topics relevant to the student success recommendations.

The Senate Education and Assembly Higher Education committees have scheduled a

February 1 joint hearing to review the Student Success Task Force (SSTF) recommendations. The hearing will be held 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Capitol, room 4202. The Education Budget Subcommittees from both houses have also been invited to

Faculty Senate Meeting, January 30, 2012 Page 4 participate. The legislation that formed the SSTF (SB 1143, Liu) included a provision

that the recommendations be presented to the Legislature no later than March 2012. After the Board of Governors unanimously endorsed the recommendations of the SSTF at

its January meeting, the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office is moving toward a phased-in, coordinated implementation of the recommendations that will include consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. Some of the recommendations can be moved on rather quickly, others will take longer. Working groups are being identified and will develop strategies for the most effective implementation of the recommendations.

Discussion followed on the impact to students as more and more class sections are

removed. Monika Brannick reminded all of the need for the formation of a Palomar College task force to review the recommendations and determine the best way to proceed for Palomar students and faculty.

Accreditation: Monika Brannick reported that the Governing Board continues their review and

discussion of the Accreditation Mid-Term Report. Policies & Procedures: Monika Brannick provided a review of AP 7120, Recruitment & Hiring, on the overhead.

She reminded all that this had come to the Senate previously, where some changes were recommended and the document was sent back to the Policies & Procedures Task Force for their input on those changes.

Brannick indicated that Vice President Tortarolo was supportive of all of the

recommendations suggested by the Senate, with the exception of the following addition: “For faculty hiring, the Superintendent/President relies primarily on the recommendation of the selection committee.” Currently, in accordance with Article 7.1 of the contract, the Superintendent/President makes the final decision after two candidates are brought forward and supported equally by the selection committee.

Discussion followed on the language in the document and whether the Senate should

request that members of the Policy & Procedures Task Force review the recommendation again for reconsideration. Brannick noted that the document has been brought before the group several times and the changes suggested by the Senate were not supported.

The document will be brought to the next Policies & Procedures Task Force in February

with the Senate’s request for reconsideration. ASG: Armando Telles reported that members of the ASG are preparing to elect members of the

Elections Committee and the Executive Board President and Vice President for the next term.

February is African American History month with several events scheduled for students

to celebrate the contributions of African Americans to our society. Learning Outcomes Council: Katy French reported that, at the last Learning Outcomes Council meeting, the group

discussed adding the program Learning Outcomes to the online college catalog. President Deegan: Monika Brannick and Fari Towfiq will meet with President Deegan for their bi-monthly

meeting on February 7.

Faculty Senate Meeting, January 30, 2012 Page 5 Palomar Faculty Federation: Teresa Laughlin reported that members of the Palomar Faculty Federation have approved

the Tenure & Evaluations Review forms that were brought to the Faculty Senate last semester.

Instructional Planning Council: Linda Morrow indicated that the PRP Allocations have been made and will be distributed

very soon. Members of the Instructional Planning Council are currently discussing Staffing Requests.

Faculty Service Area Committee: Lori Graham reported that members of the Faculty Service Area Committee are

scheduled to meet on February 7. Strategic Planning Council: Monika Brannick stated that members of the Strategic Planning Council will meet for a

Special Meeting on Friday, February 3, at 9:00 a.m. to discuss the budget. Student Services Planning Council: Diane Studinka indicated that members of the Student Services Planning Council are

currently discussing SPPF funding, including the Student Equipment Technology Priority Master List, and the vacant, budgeted, and proposed positions for the Student Services List. Studinka indicated that she has requested that those positions funded by grants be placed in a separate category than those funded by the district.

Academic Technology Committee: Lillian Payn reported that members of the Academic Technology Committee held another

POET (Palomar Online Education Training) session on Friday, January 27. One-on-one sessions will also be offered to those who request them.

Payn added that she met with Accreditation Co-Chair Brent Gowen last week to discuss

POET training and how it can be tied in to the Accreditation Report. Members of the Academic Technology Committee met on January 26 and established

their goals, addressing topics such as future training and lab space. The group also discussed a recommendation regarding the Distance Education Policy, and made recommendations regarding Digital Information Literacy as a basic skill and how that training and testing could be implemented. There was also discussion of possibly reformatting the check-list. The group will meet again on February 9.

ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 3:36 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Melinda Carrillo, Secretary

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Project, whose goal is to increase STEM awareness as well as the number of Hispanic and low-income students obtaining Bachelor degrees.

As part of Palomar’s STEM Grant, a STEM Club has been created and is dedicated to

serving STEM scholars and those who are interested in pursuing STEM careers. For the Spring 2012 semester, the STEM Club will be hosting speakers from various careers in STEM fields. This is a great opportunity to learn about some of the more interesting pathways that STEM graduates have pursued fulfilling their career fields. Recently, a STEM Informational Workshop was offered providing Summer Research opportunities for undergraduate students presented by the CSUSM Office for Biomedical Research and Training (OBRT), where those in attendance learned about paid summer programs.

Gutirrez-Aguero also provided information on Palomar’s STEM Scholar Program (SSP),

which offers tutoring, internships, visits to academic and scientific facilities, opportunities to work with faculty mentors, and student support workshops. Academic Advising is offered by Palomar College counselors and student support services are provided by a CSUSM Advisor. More information is available on these and other opportunities by visiting the STEM Center, which is expected to be open on February 15. The center will be located in the Natural Sciences Building, rooms 310 and 312. Additional information is available at www.palomar.edu/stem.

Faculty Senate Meeting, February 6, 2012 Page 2 Lori Graham announced that she recently attended a Chancellor’s Office Consumer &

Design Education committee meeting and learned that the title of Career & Technical Education at the Chancellor’s Office has been changed to Career Education Practices Unit.

Graham also indicated that new laws also require for-profit institutions to disclose that

they are non-accredited, particularly as it relates to those fields that require licensing and certification in California. Changes have also been made to the eligibility requirements for the California Dream Act to allow undocumented students who qualify for in-state tuition to receive scholarships from the University of California, California State Colleges, and California Community Colleges that are derived from non-state funds (AB 130). Eligibility requirements have also changed to allow undocumented students who qualify for in-state tuition to receive financial aid from the University of California, California State Colleges, and Community Colleges that are state funded. This includes Cal Grant programs, the Community College Board of Governors Fee Waiver, and a variety of statewide campus grant and loan programs.

Service Points: Monika Brannick reminded Senators of discussions by the Faculty Senate last semester

regarding Service Points awarded to faculty working on advisory and working groups. Members of the Professional Development Review Board were asked to discuss the issue and create guidelines, and the item is scheduled for discussion by that group at their February meeting. Those guidelines will then be brought to the Senate for input.

Faculty Senate Meeting, February 6, 2011 Page 8 Brannick also indicated that the list of Committees in eServices is in need of updating,

and Senators agreed that Committee on Committees Chair Patrick O’Brien should work with the Professional Development Review Board on keeping the information up-to-date.

GE/ILO Assessment Project: At last week’s meeting, Katy French provided Senators with a copy of the GE/ILO

Spring 2012 Assessment plan, drafts for GE/Institutional SLO Critical & Creative Thinking, and GE/Institutional Information Literacy rubrics, and lengthy discussion occurred on the upcoming process.

This week, French provided Senate members with a copy of the Palomar College 2012

GE/ILO Assessment Project Faculty Agreement: Description of Assessment Project Together with the Office of Institutional Research and Planning (IR&P), the Learning Outcomes Council (LOC)

identified a random sample of courses with one or more course SLOs mapped to one of the GE/Institutional Learning Outcomes being assessed this semester (critical and creative thinking; information literacy).

Faculty teaching those identified courses will be invited to participate in the assessment of the outcome(s).

Participating faculty will select student work (e.g. exam, assignment, portfolio) that demonstrates students’ ability to meet the outcome. They will assess the outcome by applying a common rubric to student work. The draft rubrics were developed by a PC faculty group in the summer of 2011. Participating faculty will refine and norm the rubrics prior to using them.

After assessment, the faculty will provide summary reports to an LOC-appointed faculty group who will

compile the data, including feedback about the assessment process and the viability of the rubrics. The faculty who participate will be compensated via the Strategic Planning Priority Funding approved by the Strategic Planning Council.

The two GE/ILOs being assessed this semester are Critical and Creative Thinking, and Information Literacy. Faculty Expectations By agreeing to participate in this project, you agree to the following:

1. Attend one 3 hour session where the SLOAC Coordinators will describe the assessment process. You will also use this time to work with other participating faculty to review, revise, and norm the assessment rubric. You may choose to attend one of the following three sessions: [pick some dates]

2. Select a student project that you will use to assess the outcome. 3. Share the assessment rubric with students before they complete the project so they are clear on your

expectations. 4. After students have completed the project, you will score student artifacts using the rubric. 5. Submit the rubric scores for each student to IR&P no later than May 4, 2012. 6. Report your experiences throughout the assessment process by either completing a survey or attending a focus

group during finals week. 7. After submitting the rubric reporting form and after completing the survey or participating in a focus group, you

will receive a $500 stipend. LOC Expectations The Learning Outcomes Council agrees to provide you with support as described below and to abide by the

following guidelines in carrying out this assessment project.

1. You will be assigned a faculty mentor from our POD squad to assist you throughout the assessment process. 2. A student roster will be re-pulled when you are ready to report your assessment results to ensure an accurate

student roster. 3. A group appointed by LOC will analyze the assessment data and the process in Summer 2012. 4. All faculty and student names will be removed from the data before analysis begins. 5. We have identified a random selection of course sections in order to assess a random sample of students. This

project is not assessing individual courses or instructors. We are assessing students’ ability to meet one of two GE/ILOs at a given point during their academic career. Our analysis will involve looking at groups of students, e.g. student who have completed 3 units, 15 units, 30 units or more; transfer students, CTEE students, basic skills students; gender; race, etc.

6. In fall 2012, LOC will share results of the assessment project with the College and facilitate dialog regarding the results.

Faculty Senate Meeting, February 6, 2012 Page 9 By signing below, I agree to these guidelines for the 2012 GE/ILO Assessment Project. Name (printed)______________________________________ Date_____________________ Signature _____________________________________________________________________ Katy French reported that Learning Outcomes Council Coordinator Marty Furch

distributed an email to all faculty earlier in the day describing the Assessment Plans again. Faculty members who are randomly selected to participate will be notified this week. Lengthy discussion occurred on issues such as the timeline, departmental involvement, and maintaining privacy for faculty and students.

Senate members agreed that, although there may be concerns or reservations about this

process, in order to comply with Accreditation requirements it is crucial to be supportive of the Learning Outcomes Council as the work begins and revisit any issues that arise after the first cycle is complete. Senators agreed that there is a need for the Faculty Senate to pass a motion or resolution expressing the Senate’s support of the council’s efforts in meeting the Accreditation Standards by creating the process, even while serious concerns remain.

This issue will be brought back for Faculty Senate Action at next week’s meeting. Student Success Task Force Recommendations: Monika Brannick reported that a revised copy of the Student Success Act of 2012, along

with a bill summary highlighting key changes, has been distributed to all faculty via email. Amendments have been proposed to update what is now the matriculation program to frame the Task Force’s vision of student success and support services. The amendments would provide the statutory authority for the Board of Governors (BOG) to require that: 1) students participate in orientation, assessment and education planning; 2) colleges or districts receiving Student Success and Support Program funds implement the common assessment and accountability scorecard; and 3) students meet academic requirements to be eligible for the BOG Fee Waiver as determined by the Board.

This is a first draft and will be the subject of significant ongoing discussions that likely

will lead to language changes as the bill moves through the legislative process. The deliberations around this legislation will focus on how to most effectively implement the Student Success Task Force recommendations, and will include discussions about fine-tuning the policy, time lines, and resources. The Chancellor’s Office plans to use a combination of existing advisory committees and new work groups to assist in this process. The bill language was recently reviewed in detail with the Matriculation Advisory Committee and Financial Aid Regional Representatives Technical Advisory Committee and the input from these groups was incorporated to improve the first draft. These groups and others will continue to provide input and advice as the proposal advances.

The proposed bill language will be brought to the next Consultation Council meeting for

a full discussion prior to the bill deadline of February 24. Each month thereafter, this body will have the opportunity to review and discuss new changes and ongoing implementation issues. Copies of the documents can be reviewed at:

Faculty Senate Meeting, February 6, 2012 Page 10 Student Success Act of 2012 Bill Summary Student Success Act of 2012 Proposed Senators discussed the need for a local task force to drive the discussion and keep faculty

informed. The following Senate members and ASG member will meet each Monday after the Senate meeting:

Monika Brannick Haydn Davis Jenny Fererro Greg Larson Jackie Martin-Klement Wendy Nelson Patrick O’Brien Armando Telles, ASG Monika Brannick added that two additional forums have been scheduled: Tuesday,

February 14, at 10:00 a.m., and Thursday, February 16, at 4:00 p.m. All faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend. An email will be distributed soon with more information as well as the location.

Accreditation: Monika Brannick reported that Governing Board members were presented with the Mid-

Term Accreditation Report at their recent workshop. Policies & Procedures: Copies of AP 4045 Tutorial Services Programs, were provided electronically (Exhibit A).

Monika Brannick briefly noted the proposed changes and Senators supported forwarding the document on to the Policies & Procedures Task Force.

ASG: Armando Telles indicated that members of the ASG continue to plan and host events for

African History month in February. Several ASG students are preparing for a trip to Washington D.C. and are collecting data

on issues pertaining to community college students. On March 5, approximately 15 students will be traveling to Sacramento for “A Day of

Action.” The group will be uniting with community college students, as well as four-year college students to march to the Capitol on behalf of all college students.

Strategic Planning Council: Monika Brannick stated that members of the Strategic Planning Council held a Special

Meeting on Friday, February 3 to discuss the budget. The district is discussing a possible hiring freeze as well as potentially cutting additional class sections next year.

Agenda Changes: With no objections from Senate members, Information item A, TERB Revised Forms,

was moved forward for discussion. TERB Revised Forms: Barb Kelber reminded Senators of their review of the Peer Review Form for Instructional

Faculty (full-timers) last year. The document was approved by members of the Tenure & Evaluations Review Board (TERB), the Faculty Senate, the district, as well as the Palomar Faculty Federation (PFF). Discussion centered around item # 9 of the document which included Learning Outcomes. Kelber added that members of TERB continue their work on revisions of the language pertaining to Learning Outcomes for all part-time faculty members (instructional faculty, librarians, and counselors).

Review of the forms for fulltime faculty, counselors, and librarians is currently

underway, and Kelber has met with members of the Counseling Department.

Faculty Senate Meeting, February 27, 2012 Page 2 The department proposed changes to the document which mirror some of those made in

the forms for instructional faculty as well as the addition of a Chairs Supplement to the Peer Review form. Kelber distributed draft copies of the form for information, as well as drafts of the Counselor Peer Evaluation Report.

Lengthy discussion followed on the process for review of both full-time and part-time

faculty members, and Kelber answered questions regarding the documents. This item will be brought back to next week’s meeting for further discussion and/or action.

Kelber also distributed copies of the Library Faculty Peer Evaluation Report. She noted

the change in language for #7 relating to the development and assessment of student learning and/or service area outcomes. This item will also be brought back to next week’s meeting for further discussion and/or action.

Greg Larson noted that the Curriculum Committee would hold their next meeting on

March 14. GE/ILO Assessment Plans Resolution: At the February 6 and February 13 Senate meetings, there was discussion on the

possibility of bringing forward a resolution supporting the members of the Learning Outcomes Council (LOC) in their work even though there may be reservations about the process itself. Monika Brannick expressed her concerns about bringing forward such a resolution at this time. It was suggested that perhaps the Senate would like to consider making a motion endorsing the process while noting that changes may need to be made as the process moves forward.

Senators discussed their support of the LOC while still having concern for the Student

Learning Outcomes process including issues relating to instructor and student confidentiality, access, and academic freedom, and the need to have those concerns voiced publicly and on the record.

Motion 5 MS Bishop: The Faculty Senate endorses the work of the Learning Outcomes Council

and the product, while recognizing that it is inherently flawed. The motion died for a lack of a second.

Motion 6 MSC Kelber, Laughlin: The Faculty Senate supports the GE/ILO Assessment Plan and

requests special consideration of the following elements of the plan, as these are areas of particular concern for the Faculty Senate: privacy, the role of department chairs, the effect of the stipend, and questions regarding statistical significance. The motion carried.

Service Points: Monika Brannick referred to an email she received from Professional Development

Coordinator Leanne Maunu. Members of the Professional Development Advisory Board have brought forward recommendations regarding Service Points:

Academic Technology Committee – change to 2 points a semester since it meets twice a month. Learning Outcomes Council – change to 2 points a semester since it meets twice a month.

Faculty Senate Meeting, February 27, 2012 Page 9 Any Hiring Committee – change to 2 points a semester since hiring committees require many hours

of work. STEM I and II Steering Committee should each have 1 Service Point per semester attached to

them. Senate members noted that an increase should be brought forward for serving on the

Faculty Senate since it meets once per week. It was also stated that Service Points should be provided to those assigned to formal working groups, which usually meet frequently.

Motion 7 MSC Laughlin, Bishop: Faculty Senate support of the increase in the number of Service

Points to 2 per semester to those serving on the Academic Technology Committee, the Learning Outcomes Council, and any hiring committee. The motion carried.

Motion 8 MSC Bishop, Laughlin: Faculty Senate support of providing 2 Service Points per

semester to those evaluating part-time faculty members. The motion carried. Motion 9 MSC Bishop, Fererro: Faculty Senate support of providing 1 Service Point per semester

to those serving on the STEM I and II Steering Committees. The motion carried. Motion 10 MSC Laughlin, Fererro: Faculty Senate support of providing 1 Service Point per semester

to those serving on formal Working Groups. The motion carried. Motion 11 MSC Bishop, Laughlin: Faculty Senate support of providing 4 Service Points per

semester to those serving on the Faculty Senate. The motion carried. Faculty Senate Student Success Task Force: Monika Brannick reported that Senators on the Faculty Senate Student Success Task

Force continue to meet each week. The group is currently discussing the creation of a steering committee.

She added that the two forums held last week were well attended by faculty. Student Success Task Force: On Friday, February 24, Senate Bill 1456, the Student Success Act of 2012, was

introduced. The author of the bill is Senator Lowenthal and the co-author is Senator Liu. It is expected that the first Senate Education Committee policy hearing will be held in Mid-April. A copy of the bill can be accessed at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_1451-1500/sb_1456_bill_20120224_introduced.pdf.

Senators discussed ways to keep faculty and students informed of the ongoing changes

relating to these issues. Wendy Nelson added that she is encouraging reporters from The Telescope to do a series on Student Success and the Student Success Task Force.

Accreditation: Katy French shared part of a letter sent to Vice President Cuaron from the ACCJC on

when and how they will assess whether Palomar has reached Proficiency Level for Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment:

…Colleges are expected to be at the sustainable, continuous, quality improvement level in the areas

of Program Review and Planning. Beginning in Fall of 2012, colleges are expected to be at the proficiency level with Student

Learning Outcomes. In order to validate their implementation level of Student Learning Outcomes Assessment, colleges will be asked to submit a report to the Commission. The format for this report

Faculty Senate Meeting, February 27, 2012 Page 10 will be finalized by the Commission at its Commission Development Workshop and will be

distributed to the colleges by the first week in April… French added that Palomar’s report will be due in Spring of 2013. Wendy Nelson added that the ACCJC is considering a close examination not only of the

number of assessments but of the quality of the assessments as well. Policies & Procedures: Monika Brannick shared BP 4231, Grade Changes (Exhibit A), and BP 7361, Academic

Due Process (Exhibit B), on the overhead. Senators discussed the documents and Brannick noted the minor changes. With no objections, these will be forwarded on to the Policies & Procedures Task Force.

Academic Technology Committee: Lillian Payn reported that a third instructor has completed the POET (Palomar Online

Educational Training) Series. She noted issues with the Sandbox last week, and stated that there are some issues with

Blackboard that need to be addressed. In the meantime, the old version of Blackboard has been reinstalled and it is up and running.

Payn also shared copies of the Spring 2011 version of Palomar’s Validation of

Preparedness to Teach Online as well as the updated Online Course Best Practices Checklist. She noted some of the changes and encouraged Senators to review the documents and provide suggestions at next week’s meeting.

BP 7361 ACADEMIC DUE PROCESS Should it be moved into chapter 4?

Monika requested that this policy be reviewed again at the February 20, 2009 Meeting

From current Palomar Policy 177 titled Academic Due Process (81-8903) The Governing Board endorses the principles of academic due process. The principle embodied in the legal concept of confrontation of witnesses and examination of evidence should govern academic due process. Each individual must be informed of all the charges and all the evidence against him/her; he/she must be given full opportunity to deny, refute, and rebut. It is a fundamental principle of fairness that charges against a person are to be made the basis of action only when proven, and that the burden of proof rests upon those who bring the charges. Personnel issues may involve contractual grievances or non-contractual disputes or problems. The former will be resolved through the grievance procedure of the collective bargaining agreement between the District and the appropriate union: CCE/AFT or PFF/AFT. Non-contractual employment disputes for administrative, supervisory, and confidential employees are resolved by the procedures in their respective employee handbooks. Other c Conflicts between or among faculty members may be addressed through the District’s Faculty Senate’s Academic Due Process Policy and Procedure, which is available may be found on the Faculty Senate’s web page. Claims of discrimination on the basis of sex, race, or handicap are grievable. To ensure implementation of academic due process in the disposition of any personnel issue on campus, the College adopts the following principles:

A. All issues will be processed in the sequence of preliminary action, informal conciliation, formal hearing and final action within a reasonable time schedule. In the case of extenuating circumstances or pressing vacation problems AND with the mutual consent of both parties, the time limits indicated in the Guidelines and Procedures may be extended.

B. Informal conciliation shall be conducted by an ombudsperson, a person dispassionate to the issues of the dispute and acceptable to both parties in accordance with the following principles:

1. Charges or complaints will be presented in writing to the ombudsperson, who will provide copies to the other party.

2. Only parties to the dispute and the ombudsperson shall be present at the conciliatory conference. No tape or other recording of these informal proceedings shall be made.

3. The person making the charge shall assume the burden of proof. 4. The ombudsperson will keep all proceedings at this stage confidential.

C. The committee responsible for the formal hearing on the issues shall conduct its proceedings according to the following guidelines:

1. The committee shall receive a signed, written charge specifying the time, place, and nature of the charge and transmit a copy to each party with due notification of rights and responsibilities in the procedure for disposing of the charge.

2. The committee shall discuss the charge, examine witnesses and receive all available evidence pertaining to the charge.

3. Both parties shall have the right to present statements, testimony, evidence, and witnesses. Each party shall have the right to be represented by counsel and to question witnesses.

4. The accused person may be present at the hearing and be represented by a person of his/her choice.

5. The person making the charge shall assume the burden of proof. 6. The hearing shall be closed to the public unless the accused person desires a public hearing.

Privileged information will not be disclosed or discussed outside the hearing except at the express

request of the accused. 7. The committee shall judge the relevance and weight of testimony and evidence. It shall make its

findings of fact, limiting its investigation to the formal charge. It shall make recommendations for disposition of the charges.

8. A transcript of the proceedings shall be kept in a confidential file and shall be available at all times to the accused person.

D. It is desired and anticipated that the Superintendent/President of the College, or designee, and the Governing Board shall be governed by the recommendation of the hearing committee.
