The Curriculum Committee is pleased to announce that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges is once again partnering with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office to hold Curriculum Regional meetings. The South meeting is at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut.
The morning will consist of updates on the latest news on from both the Chancellor’s Office and the Academic Senate on statewide curriculum issues, including the PCAH, C-ID/ADTs, and the UC Transfer Pathways. The afternoon will consist of breakout sessions covering a variety of topics ranging from curriculum basics, distance education and curriculum in light of the Workforce Task Force recommendations to a special training session on the Curriculum Inventory especially designed for curriculum specialists. We encourage you to bring a team of curriculum chairs, senate presidents, articulation officers, curriculum specialists, and administrators so that your college curriculum team can gather as much information as possible.

NEW to Curriculum management? Wondering WHO the important members of your college are that are involved in the development of curriculum? Wondering WHO the important staff are at the Chancellor’s Office? Then this breakout is for you! Curriculum management is vital for our colleges. Many college personnel are involved in order to make this a successful process. This breakout provides an introduction to the responsibilities of all the people involved from creating a course and or program at the college level all the way up to state chancellor’s office. Join us for an overview of curriculum management and gain an appreciation for the role you and your colleagues play in curriculum development.
Give Your Curriculum Process a Tune-Up: Making Curriculum Processes Effective and Efficient
Ginni May, ASCCC North Representative
Kim Schenk, Senior Dean of Curriculum and Instruction, Diablo Valley College
Julius Sokenu, Dean of Student Learning, Moorpark College
With the recent Workforce Task Force recommendations, there is a renewed sense of urgency for improving local curriculum processes to make them more effective and efficient. Because of this urgency it is important that local senates and curriculum committees review their local processes as soon as possible to identify areas of weakness and move to implement improvements. In this breakout recommendations will be provided on what local senates and curriculum committees can do to tune up their curriculum approval processes and stay ahead of the curve in response to the recommendations of the Workforce Task Force.
They Showed Us the Money, Now Give Them the (Non)Credit: Effectively Implementing CDCP Noncredit
Cheryl Aschenbach, ASCCC Representative At-Large
Ann Lowe, College of the Canyons
Recent legislation has resulted in the equalization of Career Development and Career Preparation (CDCP) noncredit apportionment with credit apportionment. With this increased funding for noncredit instruction comes an expectation that colleges will move quickly to develop and implement innovative noncredit curriculum that improves student success in credit classes or improves opportunities for employment. The basics of CDCP noncredit curriculum will be discussed and the efforts to develop and integrate CDCP noncredit into the instructional program at College of the Canyons will be presented. Attendees will learn what CDCP noncredit is and what curriculum-related discussions and actions are needed to develop and implement CDCP noncredit curriculum in ways that truly help students succeed.
2:20-3:20 Second Breakout Session
SLOs and Course Objectives
Diana Hurlbut, Irvine Valley College
Ginni May, ASCCC North Representative
Sofia Ramirez-Gelpi, Allan Hancock College
Title 5 requires objectives to be included in the course outline of record. The 2014 Accreditation Standards require student learning outcomes to be included in the official course outline. What are the differences between SLOs and objectives? Are both in your course outlines of record? Come join our breakout for information on the requirements and a discussion on how you can make useful distinctions between these elements.
Distance Education: Separate Curriculum Approval and Regular/Effective Contact
Lori Bennett, Moorpark College
Dolores Davison, Foothill College
Michael Heumann, Imperial Valley College
Distance education is under increased scrutiny as more courses are offered online. There are requirements for programs of study that may be offered through an online modality, there are curriculum regulations requiring separate course approval, and there are rules regarding regular/effective/substantive contact that curriculum committees must understand and faculty must follow. How is your college dealing with these issues? How are courses selected for online instruction? How does the separate approval process work? How is distance education evaluated on your campus, and what standards are used to evaluate this effectiveness? How do the new accreditation standards impact all of these questions? Join us for a discussion of all things D.E. in the context of curriculum.
Curriculum Inventory Training
John Freitas, ASCCC Area C Representative (Facilitator)
Jackie Escajeda, Chancellor’s Office
Chantee Guiney, Chancellor’s Office
Erin Larson, Chancellor’s Office
Leslie LeBlanc, Chancellor’s Office
Stephanie Ricks-Albert, Chancellor’s Office
