COUNSELING Curriculum Committee Minutes

Wednesday, December 13, 2000

2:00 - 4:00 PM, Hopper Room

Members Present: Jeannie Wyatt (SCC) and Cori Wright (SMCC)

Absent: Stephanie Fujii (EMCC) and Barbara Gordon (MCC)

 

1. November minutes were reviewed and approved with two (2) minor changes in wording.

 

2. Course reviews and proposed modifications. CPD104 and CPD110 were discussed. CPD110 - Assessment & Planning University Transfer was submitted for modification review. Dr. Tom Dugan (SCC) assessed the course and found that "after careful review there is nothing that needs to be changed at this time." He routinely surveys students enrolled in the course who suggest that the course is fine as is. Dr. Dugan recommended no changes at this time. The Curriculum Committee concurs and recommends approval. Cori Wright will take this to CIC.

Debbie Pina and her team of counselors resubmitted CPD104 - Career and Personal Development for modification review. Changes were reviewed. All changes seemed appropriate, and none of the changes had any effect on the title, description, or competencies. The Committee concurs with the suggested changes and recommends approval. Cori will take this to the CIC for approval.

The BHS268 - Grief and Bereavement Issues course modification proposal was moved to the February agenda. As discussed in the November meeting, it should go forward as a joint proposal with BHS269 - Grief Counseling Techniques. The Committee discussed the prerequisite/co-requisite criteria and recommends using BHS269 as a pre or co-requisite rather than BHS105 - Introduction to Human Relations as it currently stands.

 

3. Counseling Curriculum Committee Web Site Process for Course Modification Process. The Committee discussed recommendations made in the November meeting and found additional changes needed to further clarify the process. Another draft is to be sent to Barbara Gordon and Stephanie Fujii for their perusal and input. The process proposal should be finalized at the February meeting.

 

4. CPD150 - Student Success Strategies Course Evaluation by University of Arizona. Pursuant to recommendations from Don Richardson's office, Jeannie Wyatt is compiling material for UA promoting the CPD150 course for acceptance as elective transfer credit. This process is modeled after the CPD160 packet submitted and approved by ASU as an AGEC Cultural requirement. Jeannie Wyatt collected a number of syllabi from various MCCD counselors, created a cover sheet, and drafted a rationale statement. The Committee reviewed a list of reference books for an Instructor Resource List and chose three (3) sample syllabi to be included in the packet. Thanks are in order for syllabi contributions from EMCC, MCC, PV, SCC, and GCC. Everything should be ready to go to Don Richardson at District in early January.

 

5. The Committee took a close look at the new CPD250 Course Proposal developed by Marianne Roccaforte (PVCC). Because there were a number of questions posed by CIC and this body, the Committee feels that it warrants closer examination with the course developer. Jeannie Wyatt will serve as the liaison and meet with Marianne in January. Jeannie will also seek additional input from Stephanie Fujii and Barbara Gordon.

 

6. Group Review Leaders for 2001. Donna Mosher and Brian Belsher have agreed to serve as course review leaders for CPD102AA and CPD102AD respectively.

 

7. CPD160 - Introduction to Multiculturalism. Stephanie Fujii submitted material to be used in seeking acceptance of CPD160 as Liberal Studies credit at Northern Arizona University. This will be next thrust of transfer credit opportunities to be addressed in the Spring 2001 semester.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 PM
