General Business
Reine Thomas will be a frequent guest at the Curriculum Committee meetings to represent and gather knowledge for the Deans of Instruction.
Kendra shared information about a new process for updating CCOGs. It is at the beginning stages of planning. The goal is to have all information on CCOGs stored in Banner which will allow all portions of the CCOG to be updated as Banner is updated also. This will further allow timely and accurate updating of other publications on web pages and paper.
There was discussion about the components of the CCOGs and which sections are required and optional. Assessment Strategies is one such area discussed with concern about being required or not. It is not in all CCOGs at this time. The committee felt it is important to require these strategies for demonstration to other faculty, students and interested parties.
Related Instruction being designated in courses which have it embedded will need to be addressed. The Accreditation committee wants to see it, so PCC need to come up with a process to demonstrate how the instruction exists.
There may be a new definition of labs in the faculty contract. The Curriculum Committee is being discussed as the body to review which type of lab courses will fall into. There is ongoing discussion about what the appropriate group will be.
A meeting is planned for October 17th to discuss awarding credit to alternative learning such as non-credit and CEU courses. Jim Straight and Joe Wright will represent the Curriculum Committee at the meeting in Kendra’s absence.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
