1)
Defining Reassignments
Clarified what we are
actually looking for from the reassignments.
4 Faculty reassignments
for the Curriculum piece (2 Voc Ed & 2 Arts & Sciences)
Lead person – Coordinate
the staff development piece
The group of 5 would work
together as a Task Force with guidance from this group, with the current group
acting as a Steering Committee. Four
participants would work on Curriculum Development and the Lead Person would
work on staff development activities.
The Curriculum Development activities could encompass research and
development, looking at what we have, exploring and re-writing. Hopefully a framework can be established. Patricia asked us to think of the roles and
committee as oversight for “learning support” vs
“basic skills”.
Once the Task Force
participants are defined, Dennis would like to sit down with them and further
define their roles, what they would like to accomplish, goals and more
brainstorming.
ACTION DENNIS:
Dennis will get with the
defined participants after today’s meeting hoping to launch the process next
week. Dennis will send out email results
notification to Steering Committee beginning of next week (to advise of Task Force composition).
