COUNSELING CURRICULUM COMMITTEE MINUTES

February 9, 2000

 

Members Present: Joseph Bednorz

Cordelia Wright

Barbara Gordon

Jeannie Wyatt, Chair

 

1. Approval of Minutes

Minutes from the November and December meetings were approved. Jeannie will put these minutes on the curriculum web site.

 

2. Counseling Curriculum Committee Membership

Jeannie learned this week that Nina Harris is unable to serve on the Counseling Curriculum Committee. Jeannie will contact Margaret Macias, department chair, to determine if she wants another counselor to represent Phoenix College at the spring meetings.

 

3. Objective A: Course Articulation with University of Arizona

Rene Barrios, CIC chair, forwarded a phone message from Dr. Mary Briden stating the Articulation Task Force (TATF) meeting will occur on February 17. Dr. Briden is aware of our continued interest regarding the status of CPD courses and stated she will contact Rene following the TATF meeting.

 

4. Objective C: CPD and BHS Curriculum Review Process

Fred Wieck, PVCC chair, volunteered to become a review leader for CPD 102AH, Stress Management, and CPD 102AR, Relaxation Training. Committee members are pleased Fred is willing to assume this responsibility. Barbara Gordon said she will talk with Paula Waybright, adjunct counseling faculty at MCC and a one-semester-only replacement in Career Services, about becoming a review leader for CPD 126, Writing Resumes. If Paula is agreeable, Barbara will work with her in a consultative role. Jeannie agreed to make an additional attempt to identify a review leader for CPD 104, Career and Personal Development. If no counselor is willing, CPD 104 will be moved to the 2000-2001 course review list.

 

Committee members looked at the Check List for the Course Review Process that Barbara Gordon had prepared for the counselor meeting in January. Everyone believes the check list is a good idea and appreciated Barbara's efforts in having it ready for the counselor meeting. To make the document useable throughout the five year course review cycle, several suggestions were made. These included adding signature lines for the review leader and committee chair plus a statement at the end acknowledging content developed by MCLI. After Barbara makes the modifications, the check list will be put on the curriculum web site.

 

5. Proposed modifications to CWE198AA, CWE198AB and CWE198AC

Cori Wright made committee members aware of proposed modifications to CWE 198 modules that were submitted to Dr. Ken Roberts at SMCC. She sent an alert message to Lydia Perez, SMCC curriculum technician, stating that CWE courses are overseen by the Counseling Instructional Council.

 

Jeannie will ask Rene Barrios, CIC Chair, to contact Dr. Ken Roberts so the course modification review period allows time for the Counseling Curriculum Committee and CIC to become involved in the process. This item will be placed on the March agenda so committee members can look at the modified course descriptions and their relationship to CWE 198 competencies and outline.

 

6. Objective B: Web site for Counseling Curriculum Committee

Committee members adjourned to the third floor to look at the curriculum web site on a MCLI computer. Unfortunately, the computer network and phone lines to SCC were not operating so the CIC home page could not be accessed. Everyone agreed to review the curriculum web site on their own and provide feedback at the March meeting. The web site address is: www.sc.maricopa.edu/cic

 

7. New Course Proposed

Jeannie distributed copies of Jeff Austin's concept paper endorsed by CIC in May, 1999 and his subsequent proposed course entitled "Survival in the Career Jungle." Committee members asked for additional time to examine the proposal before making comments and identifying a resource person to work with Jeff. This item will be added to the March agenda.

 

8. Objective D: Researching Internet based counseling courses

Neither work tasks nor a sequence of events has been identified for accomplishing Objective D. Joseph volunteered to develop a recommended work plan to the committee at the March meeting.

 

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 8, 2:00 ­ 4:00 PM.
