ACTION ITEMS: | |||
Question | Person(s) Responsible | Notes and Decision(s) | Next Steps |
Approval of March 4, 2019 ELT Notes | Thomas Greene |
Thumbs up |
|
Does the ELT support the initiation of the Sustainability Project Team? (Attachment - Project Initiation). Note: The ELT has already expressed support for said project team, however, it is important to review the initiation form and document this support. | Olga and Thomas |
- ELT already expressed support of project team - official initiation form developed - thumbs up |
|
Does the ELT support the adoption of the Advisory Committee framework and support structure as revised (Attachment)? | Tressa Tabares |
- Changes and recommendations incorporated - PES and ASET first reviewed draft document - purpose was to investigate and document work relative to advisory committees - document provides some framework for development or discontinuation of advisory committee - recognized difference between mandated advisory committees and those desired by the college - clarifies that advisory committees are not decision-making bodies but rather advisory to a decision-making college body; - IGOR to become repository for work of advisory committees - question: why does request for advisory committee need to come to ELT if committee is mandated - question: is IGOR the desired format - use of IGOR received mixed reviews by instructional area deans - for accreditation central repository is important - mandated advisory committees are not part of governance - suggestion: AVP (or designee) can provide an annual list of mandated advisory committees for set-up in IGOR - many advisory committees have been operating on their own for years and will take some transition time for improved process - question: do students have access to meeting notes; notes could have valuable information needed by students (i.e., honors) - question: can IGOR provide some notification to everyone involved - question: can Los Rios Program Advisory Committee Handbook (currently dated 2007) be updated - Academic Senate bringing forward two placeholders for advisory committees - thumbs up |
|
DISCUSSION ITEMS: | |||
Question | Person(s) Responsible | Notes and Next Steps | |
How is the College moving forward with critical professional development and training during the same time the Institutional Professional Development Plan is being developed? Topics included in this discussion - 2019-20 Convocation Planning; Institutional Equity Plan Roll-Out; Trauma-Informed Care and White Racial Identity Training. | Thomas Greene and Others |
- interest expressed in bringing trauma-informed care training to a broader audience - approach is used in health care, counseling, etc. and focuses on how past trauma influences an individual’s behavior moving forward - focuses on getting to the core and addressing issue behind the behavior as opposed to just reacting to behavior - smaller scale training provided to Achieve team - incoming CTL director is currently working to coordinate more training opportunities - college is looking to increase the ability of all interested staff to attend convocation |
|
SEA Program Report | Lisa Lawrenson |
- work accomplished by subgroup of Student Success Council - some work completed w/o benefit of data from CCCCO - SEA (Student Equity & Achievement) is integration of BSI, SSSP, SEP - next step: research office will update data; expecting additional clarification from the state in the near future - concern expressed by ESL related to categories of disproportionately impacted and that the college is not capturing all the data we should - a conspicuous lack of ESL noted in the plan - plan authors would welcome a statement from ESL faculty for inclusion |
