Co-Chair Gillian Lewis opened the meeting. Lori Stephens held Anna Stern’s proxy.

1. Welcome Gillian welcomed new member Lori Stephens. There will be three meeting days that Lori Stephens and Anna Sterner will proxy for each other due to their clinical schedules. John Backes is usually here to welcome the committee, but he will be in soon. John arrived a little later and noted that the Curriculum Committee is essential to the operation of the college. Lori received her orientation packet. The Curriculum Committee website will be updated soon with the schedule and current member list.

2. Orientation The Operating Procedures describes the purposes of the Curriculum Committee (review any changes in MCOs, planning guides, new degrees, where courses transfer or not, if there are equivalent courses, etc.). Other issues come to surface related to curriculum. The committee comes to a consensus. If it cannot reach consensus, there is a procedure to vote.

Don Christensen contacts the Faculty Senate Chairs to get an update on their activities. This year it will be Kira Wennstrom and Ellen Cadwell. The committee had some overlap in the past where the Faculty Senate and the committee duplicated some efforts. We sort this out as we go along.

3. Confirmation of 2013-2014 Meeting Dates The 2013-2014 schedule is listed on the agenda. The committee was reminded that the deadline for submission of agenda items is by noon the Thursday before a meeting. The chart at the end of the agenda clearly identifies the deadlines. Committee members’ planning councils are asked to review these dates.

Note: The committee agreed to cancel the October 10 Curriculum Committee due to lack of agenda items.

4. Election of Faculty Co-Chair Gillian called for nominations for a Faculty Co-Chair. Don Christensen said he is willing to Co-Chair again, at which point the committee responded in applause.

6. Status of Follow-up Items (a) Reading Apprenticeship. Kristin Marra and two others signed up for online training in Reading Apprenticeship during Winter Quarter. She spent last year incorporating what she knew in a classroom and the scores went so far up. Susan said research has shown a huge collaboration with reading comprehension and mathematics. Many students don’t know how to read textbooks. They don’t have skills anymore. This will help them develop the skills and commitment. The State Board is becoming aware of this too. Kristin will provide an update during Spring Quarter.

7. Faculty Senate Update Don Christensen will connect with Faculty Senate Chair, Kira Wennstrom for an update.

8. MCO Completion Status Sharon Wines announced she is the committee’s permanent resource person now. She emailed the MCO Completion Status chart to members prior to the meeting. Steve Gibler spent time this summer going through every single MCO. Those that were end dated were pulled out. Every single one was checked against the MCO system and the paper work. They were totally updated. We now have a 71.02% completion rate. We have a total of 1,446 courses of which 1,027 of them are completed. There are 288 courses that have not been started yet, which could be from the transition from the old system into the new system. Many could be the 297, 298 series or courses that have not been deleted yet. A total of 131 MCOs are in the process of being edited. Sharon explained if you click on the pull down report on the spreadsheet it will tell you the last person who went in and edited it and when it was lasted edited.

John asked committee members to focus on the 131 MCOs that are in process. The goal is to get them finished. The end of October is the target date for committee members to see what these courses are.

The committee will consider the individual projects next quarter. Sharon added that 49 MCOs are currently being created. Some people may have walked away from them.

9. SECOND READING BUS 142 Sourcing and Supplier Relations Fundamentals BUS 143 Materials Management

CONSENSUS was reached to accept for second reading the revised BUS 142 and 143 to be in effect Spring 2014.
