Staff Development Report to College Council

1. Myself and Carlyn Daly attended a workshop entitled "Writing Across the Curriculum" held over at Valley College and taught by UCLA faculty in English Sandra Mano. She is very interested in coming to our campus, in April and May, and she will report on a long term Harvard study on'Responding to Student Writing, and also hold a workshop for 'Teaching Grammar" for our English Department. This activity is being coordinated by Carolyn Daly of our English Department.

Any one interested in attending please contact David Jordan. The Conference will cover "Easy Student Learning Outcome Measurement Online" - see http://techedevents.org for schedule of events and workshops.

 

3. There was a special workshop on the new Etudes New Generation on March 11th. The new etudes NG will be rolled out in April, and a beta version will be given to selected faculty interested in testing it. At Mission we have started a "Pioneers Club" with 10 faculty who are currently using etudes who will beta test the new version. The conversion from Etudes to Etudes NG will take two years, and no further training is being given on the regular etudes, but the shells will be supported during the conversion. There is a new authoring tool called "melete" which will make it easier for faculty to include photos, and links, and multimedia in their virtual classrooms.

1. We had a conference call with Dr. Tom Brown

He is an independent consultant, and possibly could provide us with some planning and strategy sessions at Mission to assist us with our goals and objectives of our Committee.

 

2. We discussed that we need a Strategical Plan for Mission College to improve student success, and to assist with Professional Development and Diversity training.

 

3. It would appear tha we need to do a survey of our students and conduct some student focus groups - Dr. Brown suggested we contact Esau Tovar of Santa Monica College (former Mission College student) -

see http://www.rpgroup.org/publications/ejournal/Volume_1/tovar_simon.htm

We should get the student inventory from Esau at Santa Monica and consider adapting it for Mission College.

 

Esau Tovar has done extensive research on student success

see - http://homepage.smc.edu/tovar_esau/CFI_CCCCO.html

 

 

4. We decided to work with Dr. Tom Brown and the Diversity and Professional Development Committees and Dr. Leyba in planning some new strategies during January and early Spring semester.

 

5. A meeting will be planned for early January for the two Committees to re-convene, and Dr. Tom Brown will assist - in person.

Goals, Objectives, and Key Components of the Student Success Project

 

Goals.

 

The overarching goals of the program were:

 

1. To increase the success rate and thereby decrease the high rate of academic and progress probation of new students; and

 

2. To increase retention and persistence rates for these students.

 

Program Objectives. The objectives for the Student Success Project were as follows:

 

1. Increase by .4 points, the GPA of students who enrolled in English and math classes where faculty implemented collaborative learning techniques as compared to students in the control group taking these classes.

 

2.Increase by 25% over a baseline of 48%, the success rate of students in English and math classes compared to the control group.

 

3. Decrease by 20% by the end of the second year of operation, the probationary rate of program participants compared to a control group.

 

4. Increase by 15%, the persistence rate (i.e., enroll in the following semester) of program participants who participated in at least two interventions as compared to the control group.

 

5. Increase the overall success rate of program participants by 20% over the success rate of the control group as a result of all intervention methodologies (e.g., collaboratively taught classes, intrusive counseling, extended orientation, and peer tutoring).

 

Key Strategies (Interventions). To support the objectives listed above, a set of key interventions were developed, studied, and evaluated. These included:

 

1. Extended new student orientation for students and “significant others.”

 

2. Use of intrusive/developmental counseling.

 

3. Provided professional development opportunities to faculty on student pedagogy.

 

4. Extra and co-curricular activities for program participants.

You are cordially invited to attend “Reaching the Finish Line,” a workshop and forum on student outcomes, student success, and retention. It will take place on Friday, February 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in ( Room TBA ).

 

Sponsored jointly by the President’s Office and the Staff Development Committee, this event is part of our efforts to provide you with staff development activities of value, particularly in this year of the accreditation self-study. The forum also offers an opportunity for you to meet and interact with two individuals who are highly knowledgeable and respected in the area of student outcomes.

Dr. Brown is a lifelong educator with an impressive record of success in creating academic and student affairs programs that promote increased satisfaction, achievement, and retention. Dr. Brown is known for his ability to communicate effectively with the diverse constituencies that comprise educational institutions, organizations, and communities.

 

Dr. Rivas has worked with thousands of students in a 27-year educational career. In that time, he has learned much about how students support themselves to succeed. He will offer a list of recommendations for how to maximize student success. Drs. Brown and Rivas are co-authors of the article, "Pluralistic Advising: Facilitating the Development and Achievement of First-Year Students of Color."

 

Please plan on joining us on February 10. A continental breakfast and light lunch will be served. In order for us to make the proper arrangements, please RSVP if you plan to attend by notifying Shirley Hollingsworth, President’s Office, (818) 364-7795.

Date: 2006, Mar 09

From: dj

 

sub-committee 5 - Staff Development - Accreditation Questions

 

5. The institution provides all personnel with appropriate opportunities for continued professional development, consisten with the institutional mission and based on identified teaching and learning needs.

a. the institution plans professional development activities to meet the needs of its personnel

b. with the assistance of the participants, the institution systematically evaluates professional development programs and uses the results of these evaluations as the basis for improvement.

 

- what professional development programs does the institution support ? -

 

see staff development plan of 9/01/00 -(http://lamission.org/staffdev/staffdevplan.htm) (1) - which includes activitities and projects including responsible party, and timeline for all three segments of Staff Development (Faculty,Classified,Adminsitration, and Executive training and development) was adopted by the committee

 

- how does the institution identify teaching and learning needs of its faculty and other personnel?

 

The Vice President of Academic Affairs, the Presdient and Staff Development review existing criteria for eligble staff and faculty development and develop goals jointly with the Academic Senate on faculty development and develop a plan, to include strategies for goal attainment. The plan includes in-house workshops, conferences, seminars, site visits, best practices, and guest speakers.

 

- what processes ensure that professional development opportunities address those needs?

 

- The Staff Development Committee meets every month before the Academic Senate and plans activities for faculty and staff

 

- how does the college ensure meaningful evaluation of professional development activities?

 

No formal evaluation occurs. Participants in conferences must fill in a school form stating what they leared at the conference. In workshops, participants are requested to fill in evaluation forms.

 

- what impact do professional development acitivities have on the improvement of teaching and learning?

 

Faculty implement what they learn in the classroom. (see the update of staff development activites to demonstrate the impact of professional development activities on teaching and learning - (http://lamission.edu/staffdev/update.htm) (2)

 

- how does the institution evaluate that improvement

 

Evaluation is done through evaluation of faculty, and as part of that process, the faculty provides data and information on their faculty development and improvement activities.
