Have there been any changes in this program over the last years which have had a significant impact on the program's goals and/or effectiveness? If so, please explain the changes that have occured and how the changes have impacted the program.

We have added a new transfer degree: AS-T Early Childhood Education. This has impacted the number of degrees awarded in Spring 2014 from 41 to 52 graduates.

We have added a new full-time professor to replace Barbara Penney – Kirsty Brace. The previous year we were able to hire a

replacement for Marian Fritzemeier, so now we have 4 full-time professors. This has increased morale and decreased workload - made it easier to staff classes, especially online.

All of our courses were aligned with other California Community Colleges, submitted and approved. So now we are CAP aligned. This will make transferring courses between colleges very easy. We all have similar SLOs, titles,and CID numbers.

1.

Please summarize the progress the program has made on Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) assessments at the course and program level since the last review and how the findings of those assessment have been utilized to improve student learning.

The department continues to assess SLOs. At the end of Fall 2014 discussions were held and changes were made to course syllabi for Spring 2015.

2.

Include a plan for assessing the course and program SLOs that have not been assessed at this time. The plan is to add SLO assessment to each Cohort meeting agenda.

3.

Please summarize any changes in retention, success, productivity, or other relevant data that have occured since completion of the last planning document, whether a comphrehensive review or annual planning document.

Provide a status update on the 5-year Planning Goals identified in the most recent comprehensive program review. Is the program on target to meet the most recent 5 Year Planning Goals?

Goal 1: Improve student success in all modalities. We did hire a new full-timer who is teaching some online classes. We have done no Blackboard training for part-timers, yet. We have mentored two new part-timers, Oksana Oks and Monica Garza. We did not meet our benchmark of 1% increase in student success. This benchmark was to be met over the next five years.

Goal 2: Adopt a course offering cycle for Specializations. This is completed and all specializations are on a new cycle. Infant/toddler courses for Spring 2015 were full, and we added an extra section of CLDV 30C from a community demand.

Goal 3: Equitable access for CLDV students on the Westside. Our objective for building a new child development center at the Los Banos campus has made no progress. Los Banos added CLDV 03 and CLDV 07 to their course offering sequence.

Goal 4: Continue Quality, Sustainable Improvement. We are not making much progress in finishing Program Learning Outcomes assessments, and completing SLO cycles, but we have all of our Title 5 reviews complete. We will have all of our CTE reviews complete by the end of Spring 2015.

We have completed Goal 2. We are on target with all goals, except Goal 3, the Los Banos Center. Are the program's 5 Year Planning Goals still relevant?

Yes

Has there been a change in the priority of the program's 5 Year Planning Goals? Yes. I would say that Goal 3 is out of our control and should be Goal 4. 5.

in child development. Evaluation

1: Was the time frame for completion of the Program Review adequate? Yes 2: Was the Review Module Clear and understandable? No

3: Was it wasy to use? No

Extremely difficult to understand the difference between add and finalize. Lost many tries. It was very frustrating. 4: Were the questions relevant? No

0

5: Did you find the Program Review process to have value? No

6: Was the data you reviewed completed and presented in a clear format? No Hard to find. No clear directions to get to OGIR.

7: Please identify data source(s) used to provide data for this review OGIR for Child Development. 8: Would you like additional data?

No

9: Please offer any comment that could improve and/or streamline Program Review.

In a small department, it is difficult to find time to work together on goals and objectives. When our full-time to part-time ratios are at 50%, doing this kind of evaluation is hard to fit in.
