\nThe Committee completed the review of all submitted program reviews for this cycle. The original motive for reviewing the submissions was to evaluate content and provide feedback to Program Leads. Due to time constraints, it is undecided if the Committee will have time to provide feedback one on one to Program Leads. A suggestion was made to give an overview of findings at the Program Review Update meeting during inservice in the fall. During the update meeting, Committee members could point out observations made regarding content, SLO data analysis, and goal updates.
\nSome ideas for improving the Annual Program Review Goal form were shared out:
\nIn the Program Summary area provide an update or examples of improvements made to the program or course due to implementation of goals. There needs to be clarification of goals tied to improvements.
\nIt was stated that the Program Summary area is designed for an outside audience that may not be familiar with Taft College programs.
\nSection 2 may be the area where program improvements and goal updates be shared out.
\nIt was suggested that faculty discussions be documented somewhere in the form. Where are discussions happening and how are Program Leads capturing this in the program review?
\nIt was stated that faculty discussions will be addressed in the \u201cHow to Guide for Program Review.\u201d The idea is to keep the program review form submissions short and to the point.
\nIt was suggested that some programs be rolled in to one program review. For example, the Art Department has combined all degrees and certificates in to one program review.
\nThe Governance Council will be identifying programs before the end of the academic year. This will allow for the discussion of combining programs \u201crolling up\u201d and eliminating duplication of information written in program reviews.
\nIt was suggested that an additional question be added regarding professional development. For example: Are professional development opportunities available to your program and are they sufficient \u2013 yes or no?
\nIt was also suggested that VP\u2019s and Division Chairs provide feedback to Program Leads during the goal prioritization review process.
\nIt was strongly stated that feedback not be included on the program review form.
\nIt was also strongly recommended that the Committee take in to consideration the time limitations and only focus on the salient features regarding feedback without interrupting the flow of the program review process.
\nIt was ultimately suggested that the Committee express feedback to the Program Leads as a whole group and not specifically one on one.<\/p>\n
\nIEPI Indicators
\nStrategic Action Plan \u2013 Overdue Objectives
\nThe Committee will review the Strategic Action Plan as stated in the plan overview. According to the overview, the plan can be revised as needed, in order to reflect outcomes that have been met or still need to be completed.
\nIt was stated that the Strategic Action Plan be a regular agenda item during SPC meetings as well Governance Council.
