The Strategic Planning Committee has a proposal for the annual program review timeline that would move the due date of the annual program review day from March to January. It was discussed that student equity data should be integrated into the annual program review. Mark attended a conference last week by the Community College League of California. He briefly spoke about which sessions he attended and his takeaways. It was also discussed that there is an update to the Equity plan in November. We will want to more closely align data with barriers moving from plan to action.

  1. Observations/Review
  2. Focus on Data
  3. Strategy of building capacity – ubiquitous data
  4. Clarifying priorities and understanding
  5. Clarifying strategy

 

  1. Identify DI population students
  2. Case Management / Peer Mentor strategy – highly personalized

iii. Student DI population mentors for student DI population students

It was discussed that a strategy for starting a campus wide dialogue regarding equity would be to focus on one piece of data and send that out to faculty asking for comments. The feedback would give the committee a better idea of what the campus as a whole thinks.

  1. Interventions
  2. Course completion monitoring
  3. Childcare

iii. Preemptive Alert System

  1. Race Matters
  2. System Integration (i.e. program review)
  3. Professional Development

 

With Vicki and Dan working on the backlog of projects, hopefully it will be clearer where in the process each intervention is.

  1. Summer work
  2. Data Coach – checked – not yet posted – will go out today
  3. Equity Technician – going to Board
  4. Student workers?
  5. Faculty extra duty time?

 

  1. End-of-year self-evaluation
  2. How would we like to engage with this?
  3. Idea: happiness quiz for committee at the end of each sprint

 

  1. On a scale from 1 to 5, how do you feel about your role on Access/equity?
  2. On the same scale, how do you feel about Access/equity as a whole?

iii. Why do you feel that way?

  1. What one thing would make you happier in the next sprint?
  2. Other?
