I
am on re-assignment with the State Academic Senate for California
Community Colleges and will not be teaching for 2006-07. As a member
of the Executive Committee and the Treasurer for the Academic Senate,
I sit on many varied committees and interact regularly with educators
across the state and in the three segments of higher education on
policy issues that affect our students. Below is a summary of the
tasks I am working on at present.
Under
the new legislation SB 70, passed last year, the ASCCC was awarded
a $4 million grant (and the fiscal agent is WVMCCD) for a project
called Statewide Career Pathways: Creating School to College Articulation.
This project will provide an opportunity for high school and college
faculty to meet, collaborate and develop articulation agreements.
Agreements that result will vary by discipline and may include,
alignment of course skills, concepts and sequences, advanced placement
possibilities and credit by examination options. While our schools
and colleges have already participated in many efforts to align
curriculum and develop articulation agreements especially through
Tech Prep programs, faculty have indicated several unmet needs which
this project will address. I am the faculty coordinator for this
very exciting project and the chair of its Steering Committee.
I sit on
several statewide committees, as follows:
o The Executive Committee for the ASCCC
o The ASSIST Board
o Educational Policies committee
o System Advisory Committee on Curriculum
(co-chair)
o LDTP Advisory Committee
o Transfer Ad Hoc committee
o Budget committee (chair)
o Economic and Workforce Preparation Advisory
Committee (EDPAC)
o ICAS---the Intersegmental Committee of Academic
Senates |
