Accreditation Focus Items:
This will be a regular item in the weekly staff newsletter more in 2018 as we get closer to our accreditation visit. We all play a role in the success of this visit. Let's all do our part to showcase how much we shine.
- Here is list of faculty and what subcommittee they are serving on: Relationships-Kim, Catelyn-Leadership, Adam Koch-Professional personnel, Sharon, Heidi-Teaching and Learning, Katherine, Amiee & Ina-Student Services, David-Facilities. The rest are steering committee members (Axel, Dana and Mary).
- As we continue to get closer to our accreditation visit and build our portfolio of evidence, look at where you go, what you do etc as potential evidence we could use. So take a picture of it, save a program or other papers etc.
- Don' forget to continue to curriculum map. We need to make additions, changes etc to our maps every month. I am concerned that this is going to be one of our biggest weaknesses if we don't shore this up and map. I've set aside time intentionally each month for you to do that. No one is ever truly done. Thanks for your continued efforts!
