Review Agenda & Notes - the agenda for the meeting was reviewed and the notes from the May 19th meeting
were approved as amended.
Update on College Council Presentation – Cook shared that the respective SSPBT representatives need to present the recommended
revision for the SSPBT to their governance group, Academic and Classified Senates,
before presenting to the College Council.
Cook would like the SSPBT Academic Senate and Classified Senate representatives to
request an update from the SSPBT included on the meeting agenda, since it is the responsibility
of the representatives to provide updates and bring back information to the SSPBT.
Mieso suggested clarifying Responsibilities in the revised SSPBT document – committee
members are to report to and from their constituent groups.
Glapion suggest that at the first meeting of the year, the group decide who the respective
representatives will be and who will post information.
Cook asked for volunteers to take the proposed changes to the Academic and Classified
Senates. Beckum will submit items to the Senate for the agenda and Marquez will take
the revision to the Classified Senate. It was suggested the SSPBT Sub group present
the revision to the Academic Senate. The SSPBT Sub group will meet to include the
changes proposed at this meeting: 1) Responsibilities, 2) Appointment for department
heads, 3) Review managers being appointed by the VP of Students.
SLOs & SSLOs – Haynes provided a handout of SS areas that complete PRs and are published on the
web site. He is working on the cover letter for the SLO update form and will send
the list with the cover letter and form.
He also provided a draft proposal of the SSPBT PR process and suggests a discussion
with the Institutional Research Office regarding SS data and how we interact with
them.
The College Council agreed to the six-year plan for SLOs. The plan works best when
the annual updates are completed and changes made annually, rather than a mega review
at the end.
Cook suggests including student and faculty input in the PRs, improvements and how
to do them successfully, focus groups and a SS survey input on what we are doing to
determine what students think or need.
Hunter recommends reviewing our criteria before completing another PR because each
SS area is unique.
Glapion, Corrao and Haynes will form a sub group to work on refining the document
for the group to take back to their areas.
Committee Reports
DARE – Hunter reported that attendance at the DARE event today was good. The DARE
core group will be working on the Assessment report (Mieso & Anderson) and will include
qualitative and quantitative data. Plans include a way to catch students before Counseling
100, and the number of quarters needed to get into a class.
Counseling – Moreno shared the Math Department announced at the Counseling Training
recently a change in course sequence, which is confusing. Some classes are being eliminated,
making it even more difficult for students to get the classes they need. Many will
go somewhere else to complete their math courses. This particularly impacts ISP students.
IPBT – Irvin shared that the IPBT is working on their PR criteria, but won’t finalize
it until the state budget is in place. They are setting goals for next year 1) reassigned
time, 2) stipends. IPBT complimented SSPBT on the good work we did on our planning
document.
EOPS – An EOPS student was selected for the President’s Award.
