Present were: Meeting Called to order by Chair: 10:27 AM Approval of Minutes: The minutes from the April 12, 2002 meeting were reviewed. Review of the agenda: Marshall gave an overview of the projected goals for the day asking members to be prepared to make recommendation for future actions. No additions were requested. Chancellor’s Report, Update on VTEA Statewide VEST: Frank Abbott, presented the VEST update indicating that the new Dean of VEST is Merlyn Newlin from Butte College. She would be taking office November 1, 2002. In addition, the new Vice Chancellor for Economic and Workforce Development is Dona Boatwright from Marin College and she will be starting Sept. 17, 2002. Frank also discussed the allocation of funds from the Carl Perkins Federal Grants in title 1b and 1c usable for leadership activities in the community colleges. The Statewide Leadership competitive grants for Business and Special Populations were to be reissued as this year’s prior competition did not yield a satisfactory winner. Review of prior committee recommendations: Marshall handed out copies of the committee’s 2001-2002 Year-end report and recommendations. Discussion ensued about what actions to take for this year as not to redo prior years efforts. The recommendations included: 1. Form three committees from this large 0900 Industry & Technology Committee o Engineering, Manufacturing and Maintenance o Transportation: Land, Sea and Air o Construction and Skilled Trades
2. Develop a process for updating and implementing changes to the TOP Code System 3. Fund the creation and operation of an outreach program to inform the public, legislature and other public officials of the importance of Career and Technical Education. 4. Develop an outreach program to inform college administrators and counselors of the importance of Career and Technical Education. State Leadership Grant Art Curry – Sierra College, Reviewed the strategic goals for the State Leadership Grant utilizing Best Practices Models. Data Driven Reporting Marshall introduced the need for our committee to have the ability to report information based on accurate data and not hearsay. Discussion ensued about how to collect data and what uses would we have for the data. Major Uses where: ¨ Analysis of our programs o Changes in enrollment, Core Measures ¨ Correlation to Reality and Industry’s Needs o With EDD and LMI data ¨ Analyze the Past, Current and Future situations
Agreed to operate two projects for data gathering; 1. Develop a data base of current existing programs in each of the three committee areas ¨ Each committee to determine how to survey for: ¨ What colleges are offering in degrees and certificates ¨ Personnel: Deans, Faculty and Adjuncts, with details of skills 2. Develop measurements of MIS data on a statewide basis ¨ Obtain yearly information back two years ¨ Obtain details of enrollments by: gender and special populations ¨ Obtain yearly data on enrollments and placements 3. Goal to put all data in usable form on Web site ¨ And to make available to the regional consortia
Core Indicator Measures: The group determined that our action was to not work on improving the core indicator measures for this year. Instead, we are to coordinate with the Accountability and Evaluation Committee to see if they have developed the materials available to faculty that will help with imputing useful data and explain core measure uses.
Review of TOP CODEs: Marshall handed out the recommendations for TOP code revisions submitted to the Chancellor’s Office as part of our current year-end report. These codes included recommendations by Charlie Klein and our own committee. It was agreed that we would not pursue these code recommendations as they are based on an old system. Our more prominent recommendation is to have a review of the whole TOP code system so that it can be either eliminated or integrated with the CIP and coding systems used by the California Department of Education. After discussion it was agreed as in our prior meetings that, TOP Codes:
¨ Should integrate with Career Ladders ¨ Allow for flexibility of emerging technologies ¨ Be restructured with a cross functional team lead by the Chancellor’s Office ¨ Need’s to correlate to CDE and federal CIP codes ¨ SAM coding should be part of TOP coding by adding letter i.e. 947-C
We also need to await the full indoctrination of the new VTEA Dean to see if she has a new direction that we will want to follow.
Strategic Plan for the Year: 1. -The committee would like for the three Sub-Committees to take on the tasks assign for ¨ Data collection to determine the programs/certificates across the state ¨ Data determination from the MIS system ¨ Meet individually to determine a plan for each subject area 2. - The Full committee working with the Statewide Leadership grant will disseminate details and data to VTEA Best Practices Web Site and to Regional Consortia 3. – We would like to pursue, cautiously, the development of a methodology for involving faculty statewide including seminars and development actives to train in the use of VTEA indicators and measures. To be discussed at the Oct 8th meeting. 4. – The hiring of occupational teachers at both community colleges and high schools is rapidly becoming a critical issue for the survival of Career and Technical Education programs. The committee will work to promote methods to assist with the use of the Designated Subject Credential (high school) and the hiring of occupational trained individuals who may wish to enter into education (community colleges).
Future Meeting planner: ¨ Next meeting will be October 8, 2002 in Palm Springs coordinated with CCCAOE ¨ December meetings will be by Sub-committee, each at their discretion (phone video, etc) ¨ First of the year working groups second sub-committee meetings Jan or Feb ¨ Advisory Executive meeting at Spring CCCAOE March 12 / 13 ¨ Formal Advisory Spring Meeting March 28 – idea consolidation ¨ Finalize committee recommendations meeting May 2, 2002
