California Community Colleges – The Recommendations of the California
Community Colleges Student Success Task Force. The report identifies 22
recommendations aimed to improve the educational outcomes of students and the
workforce preparedness of the State. The report presents a vision for community
colleges in the next decade, focused on what is needed to grow the economy,
meeting the demands of California’s evolving workplace, and inspiring and
realizing the aspirations of students and families.

discussions ensued. The board thanked the administration for presenting the
report and stated that they appreciated the summarize document prepared for this
evening.
LEASE-LEASEBACK
Devon Lincoln, legal counsel, Lozano Smith, presented on Lease-leaseback, a
construction delivery method that is authorized by California Education Code §§
17406 and 81330. She stated that this process has been around for many years.
Some advantages include the delivery of facilities on time and on budget (less
change orders) and the opportunity for greater involvement of local vendors. Ms.
Lincoln stated that lease-leaseback has been used by many other school districts
(Appendix B) and stated that lease-leaseback is an appropriate option for the
college.
HCCD BOARD DEVELOPMENT FEBRUARY 19, 2013 Page 2 of 2

overall cost, and the potential use of local workers. Some members recalled
previous concerns related to former college construction projects and stated the
board takes their fiduciary responsibilities seriously and that they want to ensure
the public that they have done their due diligence and encouraged Dr. Lewallen,
with the assistance of Central Coast Builders Association, to schedule a
presentation to local contractors to allow feedback and discussion.

CDC FEASIBILITY STUDY
Dr. Lewallen stated the college is facing an enormous challenge with funding
to support the child development centers because of reduced State funding not
only for community colleges, but also for many social service agencies. This
year, the program had a $200,000 deficit, but the college was able to mitigate
the deficit because of adequate reserves to carry the program through the year;
however, this is not sustainable for future years.
Dr. Lewallen thanked First Five Monterey County for providing the funds to
conduct a feasibility study and their guidance during this process.
Janice Kearns, consultant WestEd Center for Prevention and Early
Intervention, presented a summary of the report and recommendations
regarding the feasibility and sustainability of the college’s future Child
Development Center operations. The study is posted on the college's website:
http://www.hartnell.edu/board/packets/030513.pdf (starting on page 6)
At the conclusion of the presentation, the board engaged in a lengthy
discussion and asked several questions related to funding, communication to
the community, and the proposed timeline. The board stated that they want to
maintain the services of the program at both sites and asked that the
administration consider outside sources (public/private), look at other good
models around the State, to consider the use of general funds and to look at
the program from its academic contributions to the Early Childhood
Education program. Some members do not want to see the program
contracted outside of the college.
The administration will forward their recommendation to the board at the
April 2nd meeting.
The board thanked Ms. Kearns for her presentation.

LEASE-LEASEBACK
CONSTRUCTION
Dr. Lewallen stated that on February 19, 2013 legal counsel, Devon Lincoln,
provided a presentation on the lease-leaseback construction delivery method
authorized by California education code. In her presentation, she provided a
number of reasons in support of the approach and she provided reasons not to
support. At the conclusion of the report, the board had a lengthy discussion
surrounding the legality, the overall cost of this approach, considerable
discussion on change orders and discussion on how this approach can create
greater opportunities for use of local vendors.
On February 28th, college staff and some members of the board met with the
Central Coast Builders Association to present the lease-leaseback construction
delivery approach and the meeting was well attended. At the conclusion of
the presentation, there was considerable discussion similar to what the board
had at their February 19th meeting. Dr. Lewallen characterized the general
response from the meeting as positive. Trustee Padilla-Chavez shared her
perspective of the meeting and asked Dr. Lewallen to clarify the process.
Dr. Lewallen explained the steps for the lease-leaseback approach as follows:
1. Issue Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Prior to issuance of RFQ, board
input on definition of "local," target/goal for local work, control over
contingency
2. Submissions due
3. Interviews
4. Staff submits more than one proposal for board consideration. Board

There was some discussion on entering into a project labor agreement and
stating use within the criteria of the RFQ. Dr. Lewallen responded that the
development of the RFQ will require board input and that the board will have
an opportunity to discuss this matter further. Some board members felt it
would be helpful to learn more about PLA prior to the development of an
RFQ.
Ron Chessire, Monterey/Santa Cruz Building Traders, stated that it is
important for the board to establish clear criteria and that he would be willing
to meet with the board.
Motioned (Padilla-Chavez) seconded (Montemayor) by vote of 6-0 and by an
advisory vote of Aye (Student Trustee), the board moved to authorize the

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
The regular evaluation of employees is an important component of institutional effectiveness.
Regular feedback related to job performance is necessary for employee continued growth and
development. Additionally, one of the ACCJC accreditation standards specifically addresses
the regular evaluation of all personnel.
III.A.1.b.
The institution assures the effectiveness of its human resources by evaluating all
personnel systematically and at stated intervals. The institution establishes written
criteria for evaluating all personnel, including performance of assigned duties and
participation in institutional responsibilities and other activities appropriate to their
expertise. Evaluation processes seek to assess effectiveness of personnel and encourage
improvement. Actions taken following evaluations are formal, timely, and documented.
The preliminary findings from the recent accreditation site visit included a recommendation that
employee evaluation processes and procedures need significant improvement and this
recommendation was one in which the visiting team made it clear that this issue needed
immediate attention. The District will not be waiting for the official report from the site visit
because it will not arrive until the middle of June. BP 7150, along with its implementing
administrative procedure (AP 7150), provide for the regular evaluation of all management
personnel and is consistent with the requirements of accreditation standard III.A.1.b. All
District managers will complete the performance evaluation process utilizing AP 7150 by June
30, 2013.
RECOMMENDATION
Because of the urgency related to immediate improvement for employee evaluations, the
administration recommends that the Board of Trustees waive the first reading and approve this
item as the second and final reading of Board Policy 7150, Evaluation of Management

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
The District engaged in a competitive bid process to acquire equipment to increase the current
network storage capability and infrastructure. This purchase would add approximately 40
terabytes of storage, increasing the capability to back up and provide disaster recovery for
Hartnell’s systems, preparing the college for the wave of cloud services that the college would
expect to provide over the next few years.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
On March 5, 2013 the Board of Trustees received a presentation of the feasibility study report
that was conducted for the District's child development centers (CDCs). This report contained
recommendations for the ongoing, sustainable operation of the child development centers in
light of significant reduction in state funding specifically for the CDC operations. Following
the March 5, 2013 meeting the Board of Trustees was provided with a supplemental report that
addressed a number of questions that arose during the discussion of the report.
The CDCs are operating for the 2012-13 year with a deficit of approximately $200,000. The
deficit for 2012-13 has been backfilled with CDC fund reserves. At the end of 2012-13 the
CDC fund reserves will be depleted. The governor's proposed budget for 2013-14 does not
contain any proposed increase in funding for CDCs so the District will be facing a $200,000
deficit for 2013-14 unless changes are implemented that will allow for the continued operation
of CDCs for the main campus and the Alisal campus.
RECOMMENDATION
The administration recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the resolution in support of
the recommendations from the CDC Feasibility Study Report.
Hartnell Community College District
Resolution No. 13:1
In Support of Recommendations from the Hartnell College Child
Development Center Feasibility Study dated February 22, 2013
WHEREAS, all California community colleges have taken extensive cuts to
funding over recent years, while trying to maintain child care services to
families;
WHEREAS, preschool and child care funding in California has been cut by 30%
over a four year period, equating to a loss of 54 funded child care slots at
Hartnell College;
WHEREAS, community colleges do not receive special apportionment funding to
operate on-campus child development centers (CDCs);
WHEREAS, Hartnell College student survey data demonstrates the need for
continued free or low cost child care services at both CDC Main and Alisal
campuses;
WHEREAS, all accumulated CDC reserves within the current fiscal year has been
exhausted to sustain operations of the CDC programs while a feasibility study
could be conducted to develop alternatives for a sustainable future;
WHEREAS, the feasibility study findings indicate that specific on-campus
programs have a demonstrated need for child care for their students to
successfully complete their studies, but do not have adequate funding to fully
support on-campus child care services;
WHEREAS, the feasibility study findings indicate that community child care
agencies indicate an interest in, and flexibility and capacity, to provide state
funded child care services at the Hartnell College Alisal Campus;
WHEREAS, the feasibility study findings indicate that entering into a legal
agreement with a community child care agency will provide programs that meet
the scheduling and child care needs of Hartnell students;
WHEREAS, the feasibility study determined that the Hartnell CCD provides
general fund support for all the overhead costs of CDC operations (e.g., custodial,
facilities maintenance, business services, security, and utilities costs);
WHEREAS, the feasibility study determined that a portion of a CDC staff position
is funded through the Hartnell CCD general fund for academic teaching
responsibilities and that this annual cost is approximately $25,000;
WHEREAS, the administration does not recommend utilization of additional
general fund dollars to support CDC operations because shifting general fund
dollars to CDC operations would translate to a reduction in education services to
all students (classes, services, programs, etc.);
WHEREAS, grant funding is ideal for funding new and innovative practices, grant
funding is not recommended as a method for the sustainable operation of the
CDC because of the transient nature of grant funding;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Board of Trustees of the Hartnell Community
College District supports the recommendations (attached) of the Hartnell College
Child Development Center Feasibility Study Report dated February 22, 2013
(supplemental data provided March 19, 2013) and authorizes the administration
to implement the recommendations for the operation of the CDCs for the 2013-
14 academic year.

Recommendations
After reviewing all options presented, it appears that the most viable solution for the Alisal Campus program is
to combine Options 1 and 2 by entering into a legal agreement with an outside agency to provide a program
that meets the childcare needs of students enrolled in internal programs. An agency that operates a variety of
programs has an increased capacity to use a variety of funding sources such as state preschool, childcare
subsidies, private pay, or other sources. In addition, a large program operator may have more flexibility to offer
programs when needed, based on student need and enrollment. For example, childcare could be offered on site
for evening classes for any Alisal Campus student that includes the HEP program. Children of students who
meet eligibility for subsidized programs through state or federal funds can be enrolled in state preschool or use
child care vouchers to pay for care. Preschool aged children who are in foster care meet income eligibility for
state preschool. A partnership agreement developed through an MOU would allow the college to work with
the agency to develop an agreement that addresses priorities for enrollment and mutually beneficial terms and
conditions.
Alisal Campus Program
Develop a Letter of Interest to current state-contracted childcare providers in Monterey County to
enter into an MOU to operate for a minimum of 12 months, beginning July 2013. Include a
continuation option for a minimum of two years.
Develop an MOU that includes the following:
o Establish enrollment priorities that include children of HEP students,
o Outline agency and college responsibilities for operation and building maintenance,
o Include an evaluation of the new program following the first semester of operation, and
o Establish a process for notice of non-continuation by either party to be provided no later than
March 1 for the following year.
Consider including a quality program measurement for the program, such as NAEYC accreditation in
the MOU agreement.
Establish a regularly scheduled system for communication between the CDC Program Administration
and Agency Partner to support collaboration and to resolve any issues that may arise.

Hartnell College Feasibility Report - Board |
Eliminate Site Supervisor and Teacher Positions
CDC Main Campus Program
The current staffing pattern meets adult-child ratios according to California Title XXII childcare
licensing regulations and Title V regulations for state funded programs. However, even with intern
and director assistance, the responsibilities for the education and state reporting requirements for 120
children as well as the planning for 8 classrooms each day is very challenging and difficult to
successfully maintain. It is recommended that the Alisal Campus teacher fill the currently unfilled
teaching position. Meet the salary and benefits costs for this position by decreasing paid internships
and increasing private pay enrollments.
Decrease paid intern positions from four positions to two positions.
Increase enrollment by two students per class session through private pay slots.
Move four work-study positions currently at Alisal to the Main Campus program. Federal work-study
revenues make these positions cost-neutral.
Explore ways to recapture parent fees to earn full enrollment for state preschool slots.
Explore inter-department fees and student fees for lab school observations.
Consider renting the CDC space during evening hours for the FKCE program. Ensure that foster
families have the information regarding state preschool program to enroll their children.
Develop marketing and outreach materials for all departments on campus regarding the CDC to
increase student awareness of services and eligibility for state subsidies.
Additional Recommendations
Program expansion: Explore opportunities to partner with four-year ECE programs. San Jose State
University (SJSU) is starting up a BA level ECE program that will be housed at the Monterey County
Office of Education. Outreach to SJSU to provide preliminary course work program and the lab school
site for their students.
Explore student enrollment trends in the Hartnell ECE department to determine if growth is occurring
at the same rate as other local programs. Mary Johnson at MPC reported that since 2011, declared Child
Development majors have increased from 160 to 300 students. In addition the program is experiencing
an increase in course enrollment by elementary education teachers, transitional kindergarten teachers
and California State University Monterey Bay liberal studies majors. Areas of student enrollment trend
data include comparisons of course delivery, format, marketing and outreach, faculty effectiveness,
and student supports.
Outreach to the Department of Social Services CalWorks program regarding new funding for childcare
slots to market the CDC programs.
Pursue additional funding for Main CDC, including foundation funding, federal grants and application
for rate increase for SPP contract. Key priorities include funding intern positions at 2012-13 levels and
reimbursing lost income due to parent fees.

Accreditation StandardsIII.A.1.b.
BACKGROUND / SUMMARY
The regular evaluation of employees is an important component of institutional effectiveness.
Regular feedback related to job performance is necessary for employee continued growth and
development. Additionally, one of the ACCJC accreditation standards specifically addresses
the regular evaluation of all personnel.
III.A.1.b.
The institution assures the effectiveness of its human resources by evaluating all
personnel systematically and at stated intervals. The institution establishes written
criteria for evaluating all personnel, including performance of assigned duties and
participation in institutional responsibilities and other activities appropriate to their
expertise. Evaluation processes seek to assess effectiveness of personnel and encourage
improvement. Actions taken following evaluations are formal, timely, and documented.
The preliminary findings from the recent accreditation site visit included a recommendation that
employee evaluation processes and procedures need significant improvement and this
recommendation was one in which the visiting team made it clear that this issue needed
immediate attention. The District will not be waiting for the official report from the site visit
because it will not arrive until the middle of June. AP 7150 provides for the regular evaluation
of all management personnel and is consistent with the requirements of accreditation standard
III.A.1.b. All District managers will complete the performance evaluation process utilizing AP
7150 by June 30, 2013.
RECOMMENDATION
None, no action required by Board of Trustees.
HARTNELL COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
AP 7150 Evaluation of Management Employees (Administrators,
Managers, and Supervisors)
References: Accreditation Standard III.A.1.b.
Evaluation of management employees (administrators, managers, and
supervisors) has as its primary purposes assessment of job performance and
improvement of job performance as it relates to the duties and responsibilities
of the position and the mission and goals of the District. This process is
viewed as continuous and shall include where appropriate, input by faculty,
classified staff, and peers.
For new management employees an annual evaluation will be completed in each
of the first two years. After the second year of employment an evaluation will
be completed every three years. However, goals and assessment of goals will
occur every year of employment. The evaluation shall include the following
components.
1. Summary of management evaluation (Appendix A)
2. Self evaluation of performance (see Appendix B)
3. Development of 3 goals for subsequent year (see Appendix C)
4. Co-worker assessment (see Appendix D)
5. Supervisor’s evaluation of performance (see Appendix E)
In implementing the co-worker assessment, the employee will submit to the
supervisor a list of not less than 10, but not more than 15 co-workers who can
provide feedback on the employee’s performance. The list of co-workers will
include faculty, classified staff, and peers. The immediate supervisor will
approve the list and can make changes to the list.
The evaluation report shall present a total impression of the employee’s
performance and shall be the basis for strengthening and improving the
employee’s performance. The evaluation report will form the basis for
recommending continued employment and recommending advancement on the
salary schedule.
The supervisor shall provide a copy of, review, and discuss the evaluation
report with the employee. The evaluation is to be completed and submitted to
the superintendent/president by June 30 of each year in which an evaluation is
being conducted.
The employee’s evaluation shall be coordinated and written by the immediate
supervisor and requires the approval of the superintendent/president.
The superintendent/president may initiate an employee evaluation at any time.
The scope and process for this evaluation shall be determined by the

COLLEGE STATUS REPORT ON STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES IMPLEMENTATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Colleges are asked to use this report form in completing their College Status Report on Student
Learning Outcomes Implementation. Colleges should submit a brief narrative analysis and quantitative
and qualitative evidence demonstrating status of Student Learning Outcome (SLO) implementation.
The report is divided into sections representing the bulleted characteristics of the Proficiency
implementation level on the Rubric for Evaluating Institutional Effectiveness, Part III (Rubric).
Colleges are asked to interpret their implementation level through the lens of the Accreditation
Standards cited for each characteristic. The final report section before the evidence list requests a brief
narrative self-assessment of overall status in relationship to the proficiency level, indicating what plans
are in place to mitigate any noted deficiencies or areas for improvement. Narrative responses for each
section of the template should not exceed 250 words.
This report form offers examples of quantitative and qualitative evidence which might be included for
each of the characteristics. The examples are illustrative in nature and are not intended to provide a
complete listing of the kinds of evidence colleges may use to document SLO status. College evidence
used for one Proficiency level characteristic may also serve as evidence for another characteristic.
This report is provided to colleges in hard copy and also electronically, by e-mail, as a fill-in Word
document. The reports must be submitted to the Commission by either the October 15, 2012 date or the
March 15, 2013 date, as defined on the enclosed list of colleges by assigned reporting date. When the
report is completed, colleges should:
a. Submit the report form by email to the ACCJC (accjc@accjc.org); and
b. Submit the full report with attached evidence on CD/DVD to the ACCJC (ACCJC, 10 Commercial
Blvd., Suite 204, Novato, CA 94949).

PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 1: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
At Hartnell College, student learning outcomes and assessment have been integrated into curriculum,
assessment and planning processes. For instructional areas, student learning outcomes are defined at
the course, program and institutional level and are being assessed at varying percentages for each level.
In 2008, the Academic Senate, based on the recommendation of the SLOA committee, approved of a
course embedded method of assessment. (1.b) This method incorporates the use of actual student work
required in class, thus minimizing additional work for faculty and students.
Courses moving through the curriculum process are required to have defined SLOs. Course outcomes
are aligned with corresponding program and institutional outcomes (core competencies). Once entered
into CurricUNET, the course SLOs appear on the course outline cover sheet. (1.c) Since its last
accreditation visit, the college adopted an annual planning process with a 5
th
year comprehensive review
in academic disciplines and a 2
nd
year review in career technical education. (1.d) Outcome assessment
and data are addressed in annual planning documents and the comprehensive document. (1.e, 1.f) The
use of data is addressed on the resource request form. (1.g)
In addition to instructional areas, outcomes are defined in support areas, such as Student Affairs, IT and
Library. In Student Affairs, nine of thirteen departments have defined outcomes with 75% on-going
assessment. All six Library areas have outcomes defined with on-going assessment of 100%.
Information Technology areas have outcomes defined and are determining assessment methods;
Administrative Services areas are currently defining outcomes and assessment methods.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 2: THERE IS A WIDESPREAD INSTITUTIONAL DIALOGUE ABOUT
ASSESSMENT RESULTS AND IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS.
Standards: I.B.1; I.B.2; I.B.3; I.B.5.
EXAMPLES OF EVIDENCE: Documentation on processes and outcomes of SLO assessment. Specific
examples with the outcome data analysis and description of how the results were used. Descriptions
could include examples of institutional changes made to respond to outcomes assessment results.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 2: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
Dialog about student learning outcomes and assessment has been prevalent at the College for many
years and occurs in a variety of ways. College flex days have been excellent opportunities for
discussions of SLO assessment and have been devoted to outcomes and assessment in a consistent
manner since 2008. (2.a 2.j) In addition, discussion of outcome assessment occurs at the division level
and the departmental level for instructional disciplines. (2.k, 2.l, 2.x) Results are also discussed at
Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
College Status Report on Student Learning Outcomes Implementation
April 2012
4
committee meetings including the SLO Committee, PPA Committee, Title V research group, and the
Academic Senate. (2.m) Discussion of assessment results also occur at non-instructional area meetings
and are addressed in instructional and non-instructional planning documents. (2.n, 2.o, 2.w, 2.y)
Assessment data from two iterations of a core competency assessment were analyzed in 2009 - 2010 by
the Title V research group, which includes faculty, staff and managers who meet every week to discuss
student success. (2.p) Questions prompted from the assessment data led to the development of online
research tools that are now used as part of the instructional annual planning process. (2.q) This group
received a P.O.W.E.R. (Promising Outcomes Work and Exemplary Research) award in 2011 for those
tools and have since presented at conferences. (2.r, 2.s)
In addition, gaps were identified from two cycles of assessment of two core competencies and closing
the loop measures were taken, which included a follow-up focus group meeting, a writing across the
curriculum workshop, and the purchase of Turnitin.com. (2.t, 2.u, 2.v)
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 3: DECISION MAKING INCLUDES DIALOGUE ON THE RESULTS OF
ASSESSMENT AND IS PURPOSEFULLY DIRECTED TOWARD ALIGNING INSTITUTION-WIDE PRACTICES TO
SUPPORT AND IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING.
Standards: I.B; I.B.3; II.A.1.c; II.A.2.f; III.A.1.c; IV.A.2.b.
EXAMPLES OF EVIDENCE: Documentation of institutional planning processes and the integration of
SLO assessment results with program review, college-wide planning and resource allocation, including
evidence of college-wide dialogue.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 3: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
The College followed the commitment it made to the ACCJC on its first follow-up visit in October 7,
2007 and implemented and completed a full-cycle of the Program Planning and Assessment (PPA)
model. (3.a, 3.b) As the new PPA documents were developed, the questions addressing Student
Learning Outcomes and assessment data were integrated into the templates. (3.c, 3.d) In the 2010
2012 academic years, all disciplines went through a comprehensive PPA review. (Step 3 of the model)
(3.e) Upon completion of the plans, division meetings were held and resource requests were discussed
and prioritized. (Step 4 of the model) A summary of these requests were forwarded to the PPA
committee. The committee reviewed and summarized the resource requests into appropriate categories
and forwarded those requests to the appropriate committees for review (Step 5 of the model). (3.f)
Requests were then forwarded to the FIS committee and subsequently taken to the Resource Allocation
Committee for final review. As a result, in the fall of 2012 resources totaling approximately $190,000
were allocated to various disciplines based on requests generated through the PPA process. (3.g)
At the September 2012 flex day attended by all employees of the College, a presentation was made
about outcomes, assessment of those outcomes, the link to planning and the requirements of
accreditation. After the presentation, all areas on campus broke into smaller groups to discuss
assessment that is taking place in their areas and the status of outcomes for their divisions. (3.h, 3.i)

PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 4: APPROPRIATE RESOURCES CONTINUE TO BE ALLOCATED AND
FINE-TUNED.
Standards: I.B; I.B.4; I.B.6; III.C.2; III.D.2.a; III.D.3.
EXAMPLES OF EVIDENCE: Documentation on the integration of SLO assessment results with
institutional planning and resource allocation.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 4: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
Resources are allocated by the College to support student learning and services based on assessment
results. Program Planning templates address outcomes, data and resource needs. (4.a, 4b) Some
examples of resource allocations that have occurred based on assessment results include:
Instructional:
Assessment of the information competency and written communication core competencies identified a
need for improvement in both areas. (4.c) Discussions occurred with the SLO committee and the Title
V Research Group. A possible intervention that could address both competencies was proposed, which
resulted in the purchase of TurnitIn.com. In the 2012-2013 year, the software is now being used in
several disciplines. The hope is that the College will see improvement in student writing skills and
information competency skills as a result of the use of this software.
Student Affairs:
As a result of the program review process and assessment data, the Student Affairs area brought forth
the request for a Veterans Center. (4.d) This request included facilities, and staffing requests as well as
some other resources. Through a series of meetings with the College President, the VP of Student
Affairs and the Resource Allocation Committee, the new center opened in the Fall of 2012. (4.e)
Service Areas:
In 2010-2011, an external review was conducted addressing the College’s IT department. (4.f) Based on
the assessment results from that review, new initiatives and activities were launched that required
resources. These are reflected in the new IT Technology plan. (4.g) Through assessment, planning and
resource allocation, the College subsequently created a new VP of Information Technology position that
was filled in September 2011. (4.h)

PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 5: COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT REPORTS EXIST AND ARE
COMPLETED AND UPDATED ON A REGULAR BASIS.
Standards: I.A.1; I.B; I.B.3; I.B.5; I.B.6; II.A.2.a; II.B.
EXAMPLES OF EVIDENCE: Documentation on the process and cycle of SLO assessment, including
results of cycles of assessment. Copies of summative assessment reports, with actual learning
outcomes.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 5: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
Initially, course level SLOs were calendared by faculty on a semester-by-semester basis beginning with
two courses per semester. As the College moved to integrate outcome assessment data with program
planning, course level and program level outcomes scheduling was incorporated into the Instructional
Program Planning and Assessment Action Plan document. (5.a) It is through this document that faculty
indicate which course and program SLOs will be assessed in the upcoming academic year.
After course level outcomes are assessed, course level assessment summary reports are completed by
faculty. The forms include information such as the outcome assessed, the assessment tool used,
dialog/discussion information, analysis of data and action plans based on assessment results. (5.b) Once
completed, these forms are stored on a campus network drive. (5.c)
The implementation of the process for assessing program outcomes began in 2011. Information was
presented at division meetings and faculty received documentation that outlined the process. (5.d, 5.e)
Program outcome assessment forms indicate the various course level SLOs that map to the higher level
program outcome, the data used for assessment at the course level, results of discussion and analysis of
data, and improvements to learning that were made. (5.f) After data have been gathered at the course
level, discipline members collectively review the data to assess the higher level outcome. The program
outcome assessment forms are also stored on a campus network drive.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 6: COURSE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES ARE ALIGNED WITH
DEGREE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES.
Standards: II.A.2.e; II.A.2.f; II.A.2.i.
EXAMPLES OF EVIDENCE: Documentation on the alignment/integration of course level outcomes with
program outcomes. Description could include curriculum mapping or other alignment activities.
Samples across the curriculum of institutional outcomes mapped to program outcomes.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 6: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
When faculty first began working with learning outcomes, each discipline went through a mapping
exercise at a flex day in January 2008 when they mapped each of their courses to the appropriate
College Core Competencies. (6.a, 6.b) After program level outcomes were defined, faculty repeated
this process as well at two flex days in October 2010 and January 2011. (6.c, 6.d, 6.e, 6.f, 6.g )
Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges

The College continues to address the alignment of course to program to institutional outcomes within
the curriculum process. As faculty enter their course outlines into the curriculum management system,
course level outcomes are aligned with both program level outcomes and the College’s core
competencies (institutional outcomes). (6.h)
In addition to the curriculum process, course level outcomes are mapped to the appropriate program
level outcome(s) and are reported on the Program Outcome Assessment Summary Report. (6.i)
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 7: STUDENTS DEMONSTRATE AWARENESS OF GOALS AND
PURPOSES OF COURSES AND PROGRAMS IN WHICH THEY ARE ENROLLED.
Standards: I.B.5; II.A.6; II.A.6.a; II.B.
EXAMPLES OF EVIDENCE: Documentation on means the college uses to inform students of course and
program purposes and outcomes. Samples across the curriculum of: course outlines of record and
syllabi with course SLOs; program and institutional SLOs in catalog.
PROFICIENCY RUBRIC STATEMENT 7: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
Student Learning Outcomes are presented and made available to students for all levels of outcomes in a
variety of formats. Core Competencies (Institutional outcomes) and Program Outcomes for degrees and
certificates have been published every year in the college catalog since 2009-2010. The Core
Competencies appear in a separate section of the catalog, and program outcomes appear on the pages of
the catalog that present degrees and certificates. (7.a., 7.b., 7.c) The catalog is available to students both
online and hard copy. (7.d, 7.e) In addition, the Core Competencies are listed on the College’s website
on the SLO page and program level outcomes will be listed on a new web page for the Office of
Institutional Planning and Effectiveness. (7.f)
Course level outcomes are presented to students on the course syllabi. (7.g, 7.h, 7.i, 7j, 7k, 7.l) At flex
day in January 2012, a workshop was presented on Best Practices for Your Course Syllabus. (7.m) The
inclusion of learning outcomes on the syllabus was presented as a requirement of accreditation, and a
rubric was distributed for syllabus design that includes criteria for the inclusion of student learning
outcomes. (7.n)

SELF-ASSESSMENT ON LEVEL OF IMPLEMENTATION: NARRATIVE RESPONSE
The implementation of student learning outcomes to assess instruction at Hartnell College has
continued since 2007 2008 and meets the proficiency level of the rubric. Course, program and
institutional outcomes (core competencies) are defined and are being assessed at various levels as
referenced in Response 1.
While all three levels of outcomes have been defined and have assessment occurring, there is still work
to be done. The following activities address some of this work:
By the end of the 2012 2013 academic year, 100% of courses will have defined outcomes.
Workshops addressing program level outcome assessment at the main campus and Alisal
campus will be conducted this semester.
Streamlining of our core competency assessments by the SLO committee is underway. The goal
is to have all six core competencies assessed by the end of the 2013 2014 year.
The implementation of outcomes to assess non-instructional programs at the college is at various stages
of the rubric for SLO implementation. Student Affairs and Library Services areas have outcomes
defined with ongoing assessment and are at the proficiency level. The Administrative areas and
Information Technology areas are in the process of defining their outcomes and determining methods of
assessment and are at the development level of the rubric. Both of these areas have indicated that by the
completion of the spring 2013 semester, outcomes will be defined as well as the assessment methods for
those outcomes.
The templates for program planning for both instructional and non-instructional areas address student
learning outcomes and data from assessments. The use of this assessment data to support resource
requests is also included in the planning process.
In order to better track assessment of outcomes and have data more accessible to administrators, faculty
and staff, the college is researching various technology solutions, such as Elumen and Tracdat.
