í S ü J jjil 2 News Wednesday. Nov. 2, 2005 REVIEW: Programs stand up to evaluation Continued from REVIEW, Page 1 for adult basic skills and head of the peer review committee. The evaluation involved two separate departments: the ESL Department and the Skills Development Department, which includes the ABE/ GED/AHSD Program, the Targeted Learning Center, the Tri-City Alternatives Program at Harmony, the Workforce Development Program, and the Young Parent Opportunity Program. “Our programs are,, not terminal programs any lon ger. People don’t come to our programs just to get a GED and then they’re done. People come to our programs to learn English to communicate with their children’s schools ... to gain skills for employment placement ... to get better than minimum wage jobs.” “We knew [beforehand] where our points of weak ness [were],” said Marks, “it would have been a surprise if they had said ‘you guys totally missed something.’” The Peer Review Committee, which consisted of state staff members and faculty members from Lane Community College, T-inn- Benton Community College, and Portland Community College, spent a week evalu ating Clackamas faculty on their performance. “We do view this as [a] program monitoring and tech nical assistance visit,” said Kulongoski. “At the state we’re interested in how we can help support programs and [their] further develop ment.” The departments involved are happy with the suc cess of the review and are already making plans for their improvements. “We will be looking to our department meeting to make plans for [the future],” said Marks, who expects a long term execution of the improve ment plans in the works. “We don’t expect to fix everything in one year.” Kulongoski says the evalu ation was successful and, despite their professional pur pose on campus, the com mittee enjoyed their stay at Clackamas. “It’s a wonderful commu nity here,” she said. “It’s very collaborative. Everybody has a student at heart here. The student is the focal point and that was evident in th» classr room, in all our administra tion meetings and in all the departments. It’s really been an enjoyable week.” CCC hosts the Back-to-School Night! What? A free event celebrating the opening of the Niemeyer building to the community.
