Lake Tahoe Community College SLO Committee Meeting Monday, November 6, 2006 - 3:30pm to 4:30pm Library - TLRC Room Minutes
Members Present: Kurt Green, Beachy Orr, Steve Fernald, Larry Green, Rosie Hackett, Jon Kingsbury Guest: Lori Gaskin Staff: Terry Livesay
Items discussed: 1) Approval of minutes from October 30 meeting: It was agreed that the minutes would be approved by consensus.
2) Update of requests from October 30 meeting: Lori Gaskin stated that Terry Livesay will be clerical support for the SLO Committee and that she will prepare and distribute course outlines to the committee members. It was decided by the committee that Terry will take the minutes at each meeting and help in creating the agenda for each meeting. She will have the help and support of Jon Kingsbury on this. Terry’s role in producing a list of course outlines was also discussed. One option is to have Terry create a list of course outlines that will include only the SLOs and MASLOs once the committee approves them and they have gone through the Curriculum Committee. Another option is to have the SLO Committee Web Site list the courses approved by both the SLO and Curriculum Committees. Faculty could then refer to these courses in CMS. Further discussion will take place at the next meeting.
3) Discussion of financial support for faculty engaged in writing SLOs: Lori Gaskin asked the committee their thoughts about compensating full-time faculty for SLO development. The committee provided Lori with feedback. Further discussion will take place at the next meeting.
4) Review of meeting schedule: a) It was agreed that the meetings will take place every Monday from 3:30pm – 4:30pm for the rest of the fall quarter. b) It was agreed that the committee would consist of 6 members, of which at least 3 members are needed to be present at each meeting.
5) Review of handouts: a) Checklist for writing Student Learning Outcomes: Committee approved using the list provided by Kurt b) Writing SLOs
6) Begin evaluation process of courses submitted for review: The process was started by reviewing courses 1 – 4 of the list of courses on the agenda to be reviewed by the committee. The committee realized that the time it would take to review all of the courses listed would take an excruciatingly long time. It was decided that each member would take a portion of the courses to review then discuss them with the committee when they reconvene. Jon will take items 5 – 11. Steve will take items 12 – 18. Beachy will take items 19 – 25. Larry will take items 26 – 32, and Kurt will take items 33 – 38. Rosie will not have any items to review, as she will not be able to attend the next two meetings.
7) Other items: a) Words not to use in SLO: attendance, practice, and understand. It was also agreed that the word ‘assess’ would be used in place of ‘evaluate’. b) Kurt will e-mail all faculty that they need to revise the MASLOs as well as the SLOs.
Meeting was adjourned at 4:35pm. |
