2:00 ­ 4:00 PM, Hopper Room

Members present:

Barbara Gordon, MCC

Cori Wright, SMCC

Jeannie Wyatt, SCC

 

Follow-up from Academic Year 1999-2000

Jeannie reported that the Year-End Report was distributed to the Counseling Instructional Council in May. Counseling chairs agreed to strongly support counselor participation on all district committees reporting to CIC. Chairs voiced their support for the continuation of the CIC web site and links to committee sites.

During the summer, four CPD courses were submitted to an UA evaluator to determine if these courses are appropriate for elective credit. If approved, this decision represents a change from NT, nontransferable status, in the course equivalency guide. The review request was submitted through the office of Dr. Mary Briden. Jeannie will ask for an update on the UA evaluation process.

Joseph Bednorz submitted his resignation to the Counseling Curriculum Committee. Jeannie forwarded an email response thanking Jospeh for his contributions and asked him to assist with finding a replacement from GCC. No reply has been received at this time.

 

Curriculum Committee Membership

Jeannie expressed concern about the limited number of counselors serving on the Counseling Curriculum Committee and the lack of representation from the several of the larger college. She sent an email to several chairs at the beginning of the semester. Cori suggested names of specific counselors from several campuses and volunteered to contact those individuals about participation on the CCC.

 

Work Plan - Objective A: Web site for Curriculum Committee

The web site is functioning but it does need to be updated and maintained throughout the year. Jeannie will be responsible this year.

 

Work Plan - Objective B: Course Articulation with University of Arizona

Four CPD courses were submitted to UA for review this summer. These are CPD 102AB, 103BL, 104 and 150. No update has been received from Dr. Mary Briden or members of her staff. Jeannie will inquire about the status of these four courses.

 

Work Plan - Objective C: Curriculum Review Process

Jeannie sent a cover letter and materials to counselors who serve as group leaders for those CPD and BHS courses that are being reviewed this calendar year. The group review leaders and their respective courses are as follows:

Fred Wieck CPD 102AH and CPD 102AR

Jim Rubin CPD 103BL

Debbie Pina CPD 104

Tom Dugan CPD 110

Barbara Gordon CPD 126

Cori Wright BHS 105, 151, 265, 266

Cori thought some misunderstanding may have occurred as the result of the cover letter. Group leaders may need clarification regarding the time line for completing their work. Jeannie agreed to contact the leaders and assure them that the time line for completing the review work is December 15 but MCCCD Board approval for course modifications does not need to occur until end of the 2001 Spring Semester.

 

Work Plan - Objective D: Research Internet Based Counseling Courses

No additional work will be done on this objective until the CCC determines membership and scope of work tasks for this academic year.

 

Other

Cori asked for CCC support to explore the issue of changing the prefix and title of CPD courses. She will talk with CIC about the merits of updating CPD course prefix and title.

Cori asked to place course modifications for BHS 105 and 151 on the agenda for the October meeting.

Jeannie alerted members to Ava Jensen's work in progress on special topics courses. She will forward special topics course proposal, one credit and one-half credit, in October, along with procedural guidelines. Jeannie also mentioned the CAS evaluation process occurring at the campus and district levels this fall. It is possible some conclusions may involve curriculum needs.
