Annual Program Review Update

 

Instructions

 

The Annual Self-Study is conducted by each unit on each campus and consists of analysis of general changes, staffing, resources, facilities, equipment and other needs.  It should be submitted or renewed every year by March 15^th in anticipation of budget planning for the next fiscal year which begins July 1^st.

 

The questions on the subsequent pages are intended to assist you in planning for your unit.  If there is no change from your prior report, you may simply resubmit that report (or any portion that remains constant) from the prior year with a new date. 

 

Please include pertinent documents such as student learning outcomes assessment reports and data analysis supporting any requests for new faculty, facilities or equipment.  You are encouraged to use lists, tables, and other formatting to clarify your requests and make them easy for large committees to review quickly.   If there may be negative consequences for enrollment, safety or other important concerns please make this known in context.

 

The forms that follow are separated into pages for ease of distribution to relevant subcommittees.  Please keep the pages separated if possible (though part of the same electronic file), with the headers as they appear, and be sure to include your unit, campus, contact person (this may change from topic to topic) and date on each page submitted.  Don’t let formatting concerns slow you down.  If you have difficulty with formatting, the Administrative Support Center can adjust the document for you.  Simply add responses to those questions that apply and forward the document to the Administrative Support Center with a request to format it appropriately.   

 

Please retain this information for your discipline’s use and submit an electronic copy to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (institutional.effectiveness@rcc.edu).  The Office of Institutional Effectiveness will distribute it to the relevant offices and committees.

 

 

 

Note:  All Data will be preloaded into these forms by Institutional Research

Learning Outcomes Assessment Update

 

[Units that perform these functions at a district level may use the same comment for all campuses.]

 

5.       How has your unit been engaged this past year in assessing student learning? 

Yes.

a.       Summarize your results (whenever possible, provide documentation of student learning in your discipline and evidence that assessment data has been generated). 

Students were required to participate in a Service Learning Module in a volunteer capacity at a social service organization. Students were required to spend 16 hours per class at their respective agencies. Overall this experience proved extremely beneficial to our students as they were able to define what areas of Human Services they wanted to pursue following their educational endeavors.

 

 

 

 

b.       What did your unit learn from these results that enabled you to improve teaching and learning in the discipline? 

 

Our unit found that students were better able to comprehend the lectures in class since they were actually practicing the techniques they were reading about in class. 

 

 

 

c.       How have part-time faculty been made aware of the need to assess student learning outcomes and been included in assessment activities?"

 

Yes. Part time faculty has been made aware of the need to assess student learning outcomes. All part time faculty use the Service Learning component in their courses.

Human Resource Needs (continued)

 

8.      Complete the Classified Staff Employment Grid below (please list full and part time staff numbers in separate rows:

 There is one shared IDS for the HHPS department.

Staff Employed in the Unit
Assignment (e.g. Math, English)	Full-time staff (give number)	Part-time staff (give number)	Gains over Prior Year	Losses over Prior Year (given reason, retirement, reassignment, health, etc.)

 

 

 

9.      Do you need more classified staff?  If yes, explain why and be sure to include data sheets justifying the need.

 

a.       Full-time?   No.

 

b.      Part-time?

 

 

 

10.  If necessary, to clarify your needs, please comment on current available staff and distribution of FTE's for contract and part-time faculty.  Describe strengths and weaknesses of faculty/staff as appropriate to program's current status or future development.  

Currently there is one fulltime faculty member and four part time faculty members in the Human Services area. This arrangement has worked since the part time faculty teach most of the elective courses and two of the foundation courses. As new programs are developed there will be a need for a new fulltime faculty member to teach the traditional and new elective courses.
