VIII. Action Plan
Please describe your plan for responding to the above data. Consider curriculum, pedagogy/instructional, scheduling, and marketing strategies. Also, please reference any cross district collaboration with the same discipline at other Peralta colleges.Include overall plans/goals and specific action steps.
q October 11, 2010
q Curriculum – Based on the CSEP Results for Sections and Productivity, the current listing of sections reflects a beginning in productivity but would probably be even higher if we offered all our course offerings and had a full-time faculty member. The logical action for this particular area would be to secure a full-time faculty member with the skills to maintain and grow this already successful program. We currently offer Drawing. Painting and Introduction to Art History. It is our intention to offer additional courses listed in the catalog. Basic Design has been taught with success at the college and would be a viable addition the aforementioned courses. A further logical step would be to hire a full time faculty member with the ability to manage our program, participate in shared college governance, teach the core program on campus and facilitate adjunct instructors.
q
q Pedagogy/Instructional – In 2002, the Department had its highest enroll, then dropped down from 2003-2005 and has begun to climb in 2006. Our pedagogy has increased the rigor of the class, an enhanced textbook with supplemental information including films and extensive slide presentations which has positively impacted student persistence and retention.
q
q Scheduling – Our current scheduling appears to be meeting the student’s needs and the instructional integrity of the course offerings. We intend to increase our offerings, as stated, and reintroduce Basic Design following the Introduction to Art History course on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is thought that this may lead to retention of students within our department. A further improvement may be additional courses scheduled to build a ‘center’. An expanded program may include night courses such as, Watercolor painting, Figure Drawing, the art history courses----‘World Art’ or ‘Modern Art’. The art program will need blocks of available time for students and staff in the art room itself----the art department could function within the school as a design center.In addition with full time personnel an afternoon ‘art club’ is something under consideration.
q
q Marketing Strategies – At this time, the department is partially satisfied with the marketing be done, but are looking to reach out more extensively to the greater Alameda community. It is thought that the department could benefit with increased marketing to Alameda residents of a wide nature including students of varied ages and socio-economic backgrounds. Currently the classes are representative of the diverse multicultural make-up of the college. The department enthusiastically embraces the wonderful cross section of peoples we are so fortunate to receive at the College of Alameda.

Describe results of assessment
In the Introduction to Art History course we are assessing student understanding with written tests, essay tests, and the writing of papers. The results show that students are learning the material. The Art History class retains students with a high degree of success coupled with a range of scores indicating the rigor of the coursewwork. Students with grades of 'D' and below return to improve their grade in successive semesters----this indicates students are satisfied with the instruction and the fairness of the grading system.
In the studio courses of Drawing and Painting student development and understanding is assessed with direct contact between teacher and student. The students work with the teacher during each session. The students turn in artwork for review and participate in critiques among peers. At the close of the semester students complete a portfolio for review.
