Meeting Time<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The committee opened the meeting with the discussion of moving the meeting time from 8:10 a.m. on the third Friday of each month to 11:00 a.m. This new time would allow for new members of the committee to attend and participate in the SLO process. After much discussion the committee unanimously agreed that the new meeting time will be 11:00 a.m. on the third Friday of each month.<\/p>\n

Review Charter<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of each fall semester SLO\/ASC reviews its Charter to refresh members on committee responsibilities and its role. There were no changes made to the Charter at this reading.<\/p>\n

SLO Assessment Guide<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vicki gave a brief history and overview on the progress of writing the SLO Assessment Guide. She went over the framework and described the assessment plans for CSLO, PSLO and ISLO levels. Vicki will make updates to the draft guide (mainly the Integrated Planning Model) to reflect the Strategic Action Plan and Educational Master Plan. The Student Services section is still under construction. Vicki is working with Primavera (Interim VPSS) to complete this section. The General Education section is also still under construction. An appendix will be included in the guide and will include examples of SLO data for instance, the writing assessment Social Sciences participated in. There will also be a piece outlining the new ACCJC standards and the push for disaggregated data. The draft guide is on schedule to be implemented in time for spring 2017 inservice. The guide has been presented to the Academic Senate as well as the Governance Council for review and input.<\/p>\n

Community\/Global Awareness and Responsibility \u2013 Next Steps and What if results<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

On SLO Day during fall inservice faculty reviewed assessment data on the ISLO Community\/Global Awareness and Responsibility. The group was asked to write their \u201cWhat if\u201d responses on a sticky note. All sticky notes were shared at the September 7th<\/sup> Academic Senate of the Whole meeting. Senate members were asked to grade each response using green (go), yellow (maybe) and purple (no) stickers. After compiling the results of the grades four areas of focus were identified. All responses start with What if\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n
