2009-10 WORK PLAN
Jerry Berger, Chair, UEE Committee
Connie Green, UEE Staff
Berger called the members’ attention to the proposed work plan. There were many ideas in the work plan; some were new and some were ongoing. The legislature added to the work plan.
Green drew the attention to the old 2008-09 UEE work plan; members can see the underlying principles and what has been accomplished. Staff met this morning and made some edits, based on last week’s State Board of Higher Education meeting. See revised work plan. She reviewed the changes (highlighted portions).
- Implement the Oregon Diploma
- Align Essential Skill levels with postsecondary expectations
- Coordinate, communicate national common core standards work
- Improve the student data record tracking, alignment, and research to improve student success and remove barriers.
- Establish consistent International Baccalaureate (IB) score/credit relationships at all 24 community colleges and OUS institutions.
- Ensure the effectiveness of Dual Credit programs by adopting statewide standards that emphasize strong interactions between the instructors of dual credit courses and their college/university counterparts; regular, comprehensive analysis of dual credit students/ subsequent academic performance communication of effective practices.
- Identify paths for high school teachers to become qualified to teach community college level classes for the dual credit programs
- Complete and apply the statewide criteria for freely transferable General Education courses. Ask cross-sector faculty groups to use the new criteria to determine the status of courses that are now only partially transferrable.
- Increase program articulation, applied baccalaureate research, semesters study and more approved pathways.
- Explore the possibility of creating statewide pathways in targeted areas. Supplementing the current pattern of individual campus Pathway Programs has the potential to create offerings that exceed an individual institution’s capacity.
- Improved career pathways.
- Improved success at meeting an individual’s career goal. This includes the review of the effectiveness of student participation and completion.
- Improved rural access to postsecondary education by piloting strategies to decrease the gap of access, progress, or goal attainment between Oregonians of differing racial/ethnic, geographic, or socioeconomic backgrounds.
- Coordinate sustainability curriculum capacity and outcomes in the education enterprise.
Green stated that all the issues had been raised by the two boards and UEE members. Miller-Jones observed that the work plan was long. Berger asked if the work plan was too ambitious. Green stated that all the work listed was underway.
Pernsteiner asked if there were deliverables this year under each heading. Or were there some longer range goals?
Green reviewed the work plan and individual goal timelines. She stated that task 1.a. was a deliverable now. We have to do work plan task 1.b. Task 2 will be done this year. Task 3 will be done next month. Task 4 must be done this year. We can have a plan for task 5 this year. Task 6 can be done by January. Task 7 must be done by November 2010. Tasks 8 and 9 must be done by 2011. Task 10 overlaps with two initiatives; it is a placeholder; the deadline is in the spring.
Green stated that task 11 is from the legislature. Task 12 was added by the State Board of Education and is also an issue for the State Board of Higher Education. All the rest have clear deliverables.
Members briefly discussed “Areas that need resources and/or champions,” specifically “Improved teacher/faculty connections throughout the education continuum.”
Berger stated that the function of UEE was to attend to inter-sector projects. The State Board of Education will receive regular updates on the work.
MOTION: Miller-Jones moved to adopt the work plan. Squire seconded the motion.
VOTE: The motion passed 5-0; excused was Van Vliet.
Green stated that the next meeting was Nov. 23 from 2-5 and reviewed the agenda. The Joint Boards will meet January 7, 2010 and reviews the agenda. The UEE will meet April 21 from 1-4.
