Fall 2009 Basic Skills Coordinator Meeting
The Academic Senate’s Basic Skills Coordinator Workshop will be held on September 17-18, 2009. We are holding the workshop in September this year to give you an opportunity to ask questions and get the information you need before the Action and Expenditure Plans are due on October. 15. In addition, we’ve chosen to hold one workshop for all coordinators this year in order to facilitate more collaboration among coordinators and address the diverse issues faced by coordinators throughout the state. A tentative agenda will be sent out in June. Here is the Workshop information:
Participants: Open to one Basic Skills Coordinator from each campus. Please contact Kathy Molloy about exceptions: molloy@sbcc.edu
Location:
The Hyatt Regency Newport Beach
1107 Jamboree Road, Newport Beach, CA 92660
(949) 729-1234
Outcomes
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
1. evaluate their proposed Action Plans and develop or revise as needed to sustain current BSI efforts
2. evaluate current assessment strategies for BSI programs and develop plans for implementing effective assessment strategies as needed using ARCC report and other college data
3. clarify their roles as BSI coordinators and develop strategies to increase their effectiveness
Pre-conference homework:
• Bring Basic Skills Coordinator job description if one exists at the college. If an official job description does not exist, then bring a list of current duties
• Bring a draft of what will be proposed on the Action Plan (with effective practices).
