| Recommendation |
Additional publicity of programs offered within multimedia to increase enrollment and support |
| Response |
Still needed for 2015. Our department has not received any funds for publicity development to promote any one program. We have been working on the text for a brochure to room naming in the new building, that the LAMC Foundation will fund, but as far as we know the completion of the Arts, Media & Performance Building continues is Spring 2017. A number of deadlines this Fall has slowed us down from completing the text, most disciplines submitted the room descriptions, but they need to be normalized into a consistent writing style. We should be able to get the text to the graphic designer by Fall 2015. |

| Response |
2015 Theater TMC is now getting attention from our Theater Arts new hire and the Curriculum Committee. We hope it will be submitted to the state by June. CTE Certificate for Technical Theater will be developed with a new hire in Theater Arts. Music is still working on TMC and plans to submit by Spring 2015. An AA in Gallery and Museum Studies was submitted and approved locally, we are waiting for the college to submit it to the state. It was resolved that the Drawing and Sculpture Degrees would be resubmitted as Certificates. AA-T for Studio is now fully approved by the state. Art History submitted a TMC and Multimedia is thinking about working on one. |

Access - Enrollment
| Data Review and Analysis for Enrollment |
Respondent(s): Robert Cucuzza, Deborah Paulsen
Analyze trends in Enrollment over the period for which data were provided, using detailed breakdowns as necessary. Where college-wide data is provided, compare discipline to college-wide trends. Also, discuss college-wide or discipline-department specific factors as they relate to these trends and note the implications on your discipline/department operations or planning.
Response: (Cucuzza 2015)Enrollment has been fluctuating in all areas, most likely as a result of the change in faculty. There was sharp rise in white students and a decline in Hispanic students.
(Paulsen) Spring 2014 due to low enrollment we cut two sections of Theater. This fall 2015 we have 81 students enrolled in Theater. Fall2014: The majority of students are Hispanic at 67%. The majority of the students are under age 20 at 57.3% The majority of the students are female at 59.8%.The majority of student primary language is English at 89.3%.
(Paulsen 2014) Enrollment has been increasing, with equal consideration to day and night students. The majority of our students are Hispanic, with 10% being white and 10% being African American. The vast majority of students are under 20, due to our High School offering. The majority of our students are female. The majority of our students speak English as their first language, with about 10% speaking Spanish as their first language.

Student Success - Successful Course Completion
| Data Review and Analysis for Student Success |
Respondent(s): Robert Cucuzza, Deborah Paulsen
1) Has your discipline chosen to set its own discipline-specific standards for student success and retention? A standard is defined as a level of performance to meet educational quality and institutional effectiveness expectations – a level below which you would be concerned about your performance No
| |
If yes, please indicate your discipline-specific standard(s) and your justification for why they are different than the college institution-set standard(s) for:
| Successful Course Completion Rate: |
|
| Course Retention Rate: |
|
Please provide your justification, grounded in evidence/data, for why your discipline chose to set standards that differ from the college institution-set standards.
Response: |
2) Analyze trends in Student Success over the period for which data were provided, using detailed breakdowns as necessary. Where college-wide data is provided, compare discipline to college-wide trends and institution-set standards for course success and retention. If your discipline set its own discipline-specific standard(s), please also compare your performance to those standards. Discuss college-wide or discipline-/department-specific factors as they relate to these trends and note the implications on your discipline/department operations or planning.
Response:
3) In areas you’ve identified as needing improvement, describe strategies and/or interventions that you will implement to help bring about improvement in achievement outcomes
Response: (Cucuzza 2015) As the new FT faculty member, I am dedicated to accuracy in grading and improving retention rates. Developing the TMC degree will improve student success in all areas, putting in place more incentive for doing well and completing classes.
(Paulsen 2014) Hiring a new FT faculty member could help us with retention and a possible grade inflation issue.
4) Please assess the effectiveness of the strategies and/or interventions you implemented in prior years, in part by analyzing the discipline’s most recent success and retention rates compared to the prior year’s performance and to the institution- and/or discipline-set standards.
Response: Faculty did not document strategies for improvement.
5) If your program collects data on other criteria of importance to your program (e.g., Skills Certificates), please use the box below to document the criteria and your performance on them. If you have set a standard (a level of performance to meet educational quality and institutional effectiveness expectations) for your performance on each criteria, please also specify the standard.
Response: N/A
6) If your program offers any certificates and/or CTE degrees, please list the job placement rates for students completing these certificates/degrees (if you collect such information). Please list each certificate/degree in which there were at least 10 students who completed the program in a given year. State your standard for expected job placement rate. Also, state the job placement rate, as measured in the year following graduation, of students who graduated from the program.
Response: N/A
7) Please evaluate your performance and describe any plans for improvement on the measures identified in question 5 and 6 above (program-specific measures and/or job placement rates). Also, discuss any improvements that have resulted from prior program improvement plans.
Response: N/A

Student Success - Awards
| Data Review and Analysis for Degree/Certificate Awards |
Respondent(s): Robert Cucuzza
Analyze trends in Degree/Certificate Awards over the period for which data were provided, using detailed breakdowns as necessary. Where college-wide data is provided, compare discipline to college-wide trends. Also, discuss college-wide or discipline-department specific factors as they relate to these trends and note the implications on your discipline/department operations or planning.
Response: (Cucuzza 2015) The TMC degree has been approved by the Curriculum Committee and will be sent to the state in the coming months. We hope to begin offering classes for this degree in Spring 2016.
We have submitted a TMC degree for Theatre. Some classes have not been approved yet and it still is not submitted to the state. There are six courses stuck in the "back log" that need to be addressed by the curriculum chair. An e-mail was sent by Dean Montes to return these classes to the department Chair. To date this request has not been followed and will require further investigation as to why.
In areas you’ve identified as needing improvement, describe strategies and/or interventions that you will implement to help bring about improvement in student degree and/or certificate completion
Response: (Paulsen 2014) Six courses still need approval. One course was archived by the faculty member and still needs updating.
Please assess the effectiveness of the strategies and/or interventions you implemented in prior years to increase student degree and/or certificate completion.
Response: (Paulsen 2014) We do not have a degree, yet.

Respondent(s): Robert Cucuzza, Deborah Paulsen
1) Describe the status of the SLO Assessment in this discipline.
Response: (Paulsen 2015) New full-time faculty is working to assess all classes offered to bring assessment up to date.
(Paulsen) Courses with out all SLOs assessed have not been offered on a regular basis. The Theater 300 instructor did not submit and assessment, despite a hands on workshop with the department chair.
Theater faculty need to move through the sequence and assess all SLOs for each course. (Paulsen)
2) Summarize the changes that have been implemented based on SLO and PLO assessments from the past year.
Response: (Paulsen) With the need to hire four new faculty in Theater for Fall 2014 we focused on getting Costume Design assessed. The instructor did not suggest any improvements, but chair was concerned due to informal student comments, enrollment and retention in the class was low. Possibly due to the pace of the instructor and the fact that students could not sew in-class, a small amount of sewing would be beneficial even though this class was mostly theory based.
3) Have the outcomes been re-evaluated since the implemented changes, and if so, has there been an improvement in student learning? Are any further changes scheduled?
Response: No follow up report was submitted. Faculty did not suggest any improvements.

Annual Planning Evaluation
| Annual Planning Evaluation |
1) Provide a summary statement concerning the success of the unit in meeting the objectives identified in the previous year’s program review. If budgetary recommendations were made by the Budget & Planning Committee, please include in your summary whether those recommendations have been implemented.
(Cucuzza 2015) At the end of my first semester as the new FT faculty member, it appears to me that the theatre discipline is stabilizing and poised to become a significant part of the LAMC community. Progress had stalled in the transitional period. I'm confident that, with a new faculty, new students, new programs, the re-initiation of the TMC degree, and the progress being made on the new building, the theatre discipline will provide many opportunities for our students, both on campus and in the workforce. (Paulsen 2014) Unfortunately probationary faculty will not receive a new contract and we must start over with a new FT faculty member to be hire Spring 2015. We need support in the way of curriculum (courses are stuck in "back-log") It is difficult to offer program classes with the program being state approved and without our new building being finished since many of our classes require specialized facilities. Theater is a very expensive program and the college must carefully consider how it moves forward from this point.
2) Summarize significant results/outcomes or improvements that have been implemented of any projects or improvement plans identified in the previous year’s program review, and discuss if you are going to continue these improvements or change them based on the results/outcomes. You may also discuss projects/plans/accomplishments from your unit over the past year, even if they were not mentioned in your previous program review.
(Cucuzza 2015) Courses have been updated and SLO assessments have been done. I've proposed curriculum changes and new opportunities for students that align with the educational and vocational goals of the college. (Paulsen 2014) Progress has been made in curriculum areas. SLO assessments need to be more reflective towards improvement. We need to regroup and focus more on successful teaching and learning strategies.
3) If your program received Student Equity funds and/or have activities included in the Student Equity Plan, please report on the status and success of those activities.
N/A
4) Do you recommend any goals/objectives/measureves/activies etc. for inclusion in any of the College's Master Planning documents? If yes, what wording do you suggest and where in the plan should your recommendation be placed?

Challenges & Opportunities
| Challenges & Opportunities |
1) Program strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement
- A. Identify unit strengths and recommendations to strengthen existing unit programs
(Cucuzza 2015) The new full-time instructor has successfully completed his first semester. Students seem enthusiastic about the development of a theatre program. TA291 Rehearsals and Performances has been approved by the Curriculum Committee and should be on the Schedule of Classes in the 2015-16 year. New initiatives, certificates and ideas have been proposed and enthusiastically supported. (Cucuzza) We need to hire a new FT faculty member. (Paulsen) The main strength of the theatre at Mission is the level of student passion and support that it enjoys. (Aviles-Rodriguez)
- B. Identify unit weaknesses and recommendations to correct weaknesses
(Cucuzza 2015) Enrollment has dropped in the Spring 2015 semester, most likely due to the transition between full-time instructors. I anticipate enrollment to pick up again in the fall, now that I've completed my first semester. The theatre discipline continues to be challenged by space limitations, both in the classroom and performance areas. All acting classes will take place in Bungalow 9 starting in the fall, which is a better acting studio than INST1008. There will be an outdoor performance festival in the fall. Six course still need approval and one needs updating. The chair of the department will have to take on this work over the summer. (Paulsen)
2) Describe any significant recent events or activities in the state, surrounding community, college, and/or discipline that may have an impact on your unit in the coming year(s).
A new full-time faculty member was hired and infused the discipline with new energy. (Cucuzza) Faculty did not pass probationary period and a new faculty member should be hired. (Paulsen)

As a painter can only effectively learn by utilizing brushes and ink, an actor needs to work with hard copies of scenes and scripts. Often, these materials are needed with little prep or warning, as scenes are selected based upon each individual student's needs. |
| Expected Outcome and Measure: |
Students will have the tools that they need in hand, when needed. They will have paper scripts to write on and make notes, and to read from while acting. This will dramatically improve their success. |

My individual copy limit on the office copier is not enough to accommodate the curriculum tools for theatre arts classes, especially acting. Actors work with scenes, which must be in hard copy so that they can be annotated and highlighted. Often these scenes need to be copied during class, making it impossible to utilize the SmartCopy System. |

| Activity: |
To create an ongoing and regular guest artist lecture and workshop series that can bring professional artists to our students and create pathways to the entertainment industry, particularly in technical areas. The primary focus of these events would be to demonstrate how acquired technical theatre experience can lead directly to careers in film, TV and multimedia. The goal would be to bring in one guest per month on a regular schedule, for instance the first Monday of each month. An example would be to bring in a costume designer who matriculated in the theatre but has transitioned to a career in film. |
| Expected Outcome and Measure: |
We expect this guest artist program to expose our students to the potential benefits of an education in theatre crafts, to increase enrollment, provide potential for greater student success, facilitate internship opportunities, and enhance the quality of work produced at LAMC. |
