SECONDARY COLLEGE GOAL PROGRESS REPORT

(Secondary Goals)

Fall 2011

Summary

The Fall 2011 Secondary College Goal Progress Report shows the college’s progress relating to strategic Goals

stated in the Educational Master Plan. These goals are referred to as the 10 College Goals, and are central to

planning and resource allocation at the college.

Resource requests for the college are grouped as ‘projects’ in each department’s Unit Plan. All Unit Plan projects

are directly linked to one or two of the 10 College Goals. This report shows linkages between departmental

projects, and the secondary College Goal that it supports. To see project associations with primary goals, refer to

the Primary College Goal Progress Report.

This report is sorted by each of the 10 College Goals, and shows each Project and associated Activity supporting

that specific goal. The Status field indicates if the Activity is <New>, <Wait>, <Active>, <Complete> or

<Discontinued>.

Planning information was downloaded on August 14, 2011 and then compiled to make this document.

Mathematics Improve Student Access to Mathematics Classes

Increase adjunct pool ACTIVEQualified mathematics adjunct faculty are difficult to find in our area. Only one of our adjunct is available during the day.

Full-time faculty ACTIVEIn an attempt to accomodate some of the huge wait lists, we have been accepting 45 to 50 students per sections in high demand courses. This is significantly reducing the quality of instruction, creating burn-out among faculty and still well over 100 students are turned away. Increasing full-time math faculty would allow us to offer more sections of high-demand courses and help reduce the class sizes to reasonable levels.

Mathematics Improve Student Success Additional Math Lab staff02:Ed Program & Srvs

ACTIVECurrently, during peak hours, student demand for assistance exceeds what can be reasonably met by one staff person. Students sometimes have to wait too long to get their questions answered. This could be corrected with an additional staff person. Stagering schedules of the two staff would allow Math Lab hours to be extended even further to assist students taking night classes and allow our ISS to also focus on providing workshops to support student learning.

Supplemental Instruction NEWPartner with the AAC to provide SI support for more math courses. This will also require additional classrooms. The cost is per section.

Expand Math Lab ACTIVEDuring peak hours the current Math Lab is filled to capacity, preventing access to other students. Make-up exams are often given in the Lab, a quiet room would help students taking tests. A group study room would help keep noise levels down for other students in the Lab and provide a place for workshops. A different location would remove the distraction of the child playground noise, but would also require relocation of math classrooms and faculty offices.
