8. Strategic Action Plan Indicator Update 2019-2020 (X. Li) (3 min) Report

Original plan approved in 2018. Sent out the information about the final report.  This year’s data – goals have already been met.  Persistence rate from fall to spring is the only lagging indicator.

 

9. Strategic Action Plan 2021-2024 – Highlights (X. Li) (3 min) Information

The new strategic action plan is developed for the next three years. The new plan aligns with the Chancellor’s office’s Vision for Success. Since the chancellor’s office plan is a five-year plan, we will keep the same format and leading and lagging indicators for the SAP. We will add the data definitions to the appendix. We will also add the activities and how they help. Separate the awards of certificate and diploma.

The final new SAP will be presented at the SPC meeting this month and will be approved next semester.

This year we evaluated goals for the past two years because the goal had been previously funded. Based on the 2018-2020 goals, six funded as academic and six service related goals.

English department listed the impact of the funded goal. K. Carlson analyzed the impact of the funding and reasons why not all parts of the goal have been met.  Technology master plan – funding has positively impacted the program.

 

11. Committee Report: Curriculum & GE Progress on Senate Recommendation #5 (V. Jacobi) (3 min) Information

Jacobi thanks the everyone who has been involved in this conversation in the Curriculum committee.  Long Beach City College’s toolkit is being analyzed now to see how it could be useful to our campus.  We want to ensure we deliver instruction while we maintain academic freedom.

 

12. Committee Report: Faculty Professional Development Progress on Senate Recommendation #2 (R. Payne)(3 min) Report

Progress on Recommendation #2 – …anti-racism education related topics be included as flex opportunities, including in-service activities or individual flex activities, for TC faculty on an ongoing basis.  We currently have an entire track dedicated to DEI. Encourage all to participate both in May and in the Lunch and Learn opportunities going forward.

 

13. AB 705 State Report Overview for Taft College (X. Li)(3 min) DISCUSSION

Report from X. Li:

We have received no direction from the state on how to complete this report. The model approved by the Chancellor’s Office, but no direction was given.  We are focused on disproportionate impact in transfer-level English.  We have limited GPA data.

Li can send the reports to us.  When we compare TC data to the state average, ours is a little lower than the state average.  Currently our success in completing transfer level courses within one year is 37% at TC whereas the statewide average is 50%.  Within our demographic data, we can see lower completion rate among Hispanic students.  Li will send the link to our TC data.: https://public.tableau.com/profile/lorisfagioli#!/vizhome/ThroughputDashboard/StatewideorCollegeView?publish=yes

 

14. Committee report: Distance Learning & Education (A. Bledsoe)(3 min) Report

Descriptive language will be added. Bargaining is reviewing the report.

As an adjunct attending the leadership academy. Interesting: ASCCC statewide is the statewide voice for faculty.  Sessions in breakout rooms to discuss many 10+1 issues.  Preparing people to become leaders within ASCCC.  Self-care discussion and its role within leadership.  Encourage faculty to participate in the event.
