The workshop session will ask those who attend to get in groups and share other ways or strategies that create classroom bonding. The

impetus of the workshop is offering instructors while at the same time allowing instructors to brainstorm in groups alternative ways to "cross" or reach students at their level in professional ways in an effort to encourage student attendance, participation, and overall academic success.

Presenters: Paul Yoder & Aaron Sargent Location: SOCS 123

The Devil is in the Data – How Measurement and

Anaysis Affect SLO’s Success/Retention, and

Faculty Evaluations Quantitative measures of quality education are dominating colleges. With all the false promises and false starts that have come and gone, education is gathering up all its chips and betting on a trifecta -- SLOs, Success/Retention, and Faculty Evaluations to win, place, and show. But measures that are objective and quantitative can also be arbitrary and misleading. This workshop would include cautionary tales from education but also medicine, economics, and criminal justice. These example would also illustrate how a handful of fundamental concepts goes a long way in exposing the strengths and weaknesses of these measures -- when we should embrace and when we should run, not walk, away.

Presenter: Richard Mascolo

What is a FSA? All faculty who are hired have a specific discipline

they are qualified to teach. This designation is called an FSA, which stands for Faculty Service Area. The district must give all faculty the opportunity to apply for any additional FSA's that they may be eligible for. Although FSA's are mainly used during times of layoffs, we need to ensure that faculty are educated on applying for any potential FSA they may qualify for and have this documentation in their file. So this workshop will detail the history of AB 1725 which requires all districts to establish FSA's for our district. We are also going to introduce the process for applying for additional FSAs and the importance of maintaining current FSA in personnel files for all faculty.
