Next steps - finalize the document and add membership term. Cook will review the list and take to the College Council. Add one at-large member from ACE and Classified Senate.

SLOs & SSLOs - Haynes suggested adding two meetings to work on SLOs and Program Reviews.  The group agreed on May 26 and June 9.
He also shared the process Instruction has developed for prioritizing information that aligns with the Accreditation Cycle, Program Review and SLOs. Cook asked if there is a De Anza Program Review handbook.  She suggested De Anza integrate SLOs into Program Review and develop a handbook explaining the process, criteria to make decisions and prioritizing needs for student services. Haynes needs to know which SS areas have written their SSLOSs. He would like a one-page update on each SS LO including what they did every year.
Cook proposed the group start reviewing SSLOs for input into Program Review and a handbook.  She will send some links from other colleges.  Consider using the Instruction Program Review Annual Update form and include institutional data.
Haynes suggested reviewing the SSLOs to determine if they are what we want.
Action = Haynes 1) Ask SS areas to send their SSLOs for review by the the SSPBT, 2) send out a draft annual update for SS by the end of the week, 3) Look for IPBT criteria information and bring the proposed form and information to the next meeting.
