EVENTS AND NEWS  

Good afternoon all, 

I can’t believe the week has just flown by.  It’s been a busy one here for sure with a lot going on- I imagine it is the same for you.  I am very much looking forward to meeting our colleagues from the NWCCU Accreditation team tomorrow and discussing all the progress we have made on our accreditation recommendations.   A HUGE thank you to the faculty, staff, and admin teams who have spent countless hours making much progress on our learning outcomes assessment and academic planning processes.  These initial steps help set the stage for our next steps in planning and tying everything we do to data, DEI, and the mission.  Looking forward to all of that movement into the future.  More updates soon! 

At the end of last week, I attended the WACTC meeting virtually and heard updates from the state board and presidents across the state.  It was a very informative meeting.  It is always great to hear how other colleges are handling different issues and also to make new connections.  Speaking of which, I will be meeting with the president of Cascadia this week just to connect and share ideas.  I am looking forward to getting to know President Murray and learning about his experiences in the region.   

This weekend I came to the campus theater to help introduce Councilperson Chris Roberts who introduced the film Promised Land to an audience of community members and students.  The film is a documentary about the Duwamish and Chinook struggle toward Federal recognition.  It was powerful.  Councilmember Roberts shared his own experiences as a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and his support for our local communities.  The panel following was also very moving.  It was great to connect with panel members afterward to discuss other ways the college may connect in the future. 

I also stopped by the 6×6 Northwest event.  It was PACKED! It was great seeing all the people and children there waiting to see if anyone was interested in buying their art. It was awesome to see so many people come out for it. I did see Shoreline folks in attendance as well.  

Finally, thank you to everyone who attended virtually or in-person to our first community check-in event. Even at 8 am, we had an impressive showing!! I really appreciate the candor and honesty with which folks brought up concerns as well as the willingness to be silly and have some fun (and coffee of course). I will be following up on a couple concerns that were brought up and report updates to campus. 

Best,  

Jack

Ad Hoc Accreditation Visit:  Faculty open forum 10/14, 12:30 – 1:00pm

October 10, 2022 by Leave a Comment

You are invited to take part in an open forum about learning outcomes assessment on October 14, 2022, from 12:30 – 1:00pm in the Board Room (1010M) or by Zoom:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84793064056

The session is part of the full-day ad hoc accreditation visit from two evaluators from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), Shoreline’s accrediting agency. The purpose of the visit is to review Shoreline’s progress on two recommendations from the Fall 2020 comprehensive evaluation.

One of these recommendations is as follows:

Engage in assessment practices that focus on systematic and ongoing assessment of course learning outcomes that lead to program learning outcomes in general education, all instructional and student support areas. Assessments must be used to improve student learning outcomes and inform academic and learning support-planning and practices. (2020 Standard(s) 1.C.5;1.C.6;1.C.7)

The evaluator wants to gauge broad awareness and understanding of learning outcomes assessment, so has requested to meet with faculty who are not directly and recently involved in outcomes assessment currently or who might have been involved partially or in the past. Many of you have received invitations to take part in an interview session earlier in the day, and some of you will receive a specific Outlook invitation for the 12:30pm open forum. All faculty are welcome to attend and respond to questions relevant to this recommendation.

Ad Hoc Accreditation Visit, Friday, October 14

Ad Hoc Accreditation Visit, Friday, October 14

On Friday, October 14, Shoreline will be hosting two evaluators from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) for an ad hoc accreditation visit following up on two recommendations from Shoreline’s Fall 2020 comprehensive self-study and evaluation:

Recommendation 1: Fall 2020 Mission Fulfillment and Sustainability – Provide evidence of a systematic method for collecting, storing, accessing, using, and sharing data for the purposes of ongoing and systematic evaluation, planning, resource allocation, and informing decision-making toward improving institutional effectiveness and achieving mission fulfillment. (2020 Standard(s) 1.B.1;1.B.2)

Recommendation 2: Fall 2020 Mission Fulfillment and Sustainability – Engage in assessment practices that focus on systematic and ongoing assessment of course learning outcomes that lead to program learning outcomes in general education, all instructional and student support areas. Assessments must be used to improve student learning outcomes and inform academic and learning support planning and practices. (2020 Standard(s) 1.C.5;1.C.6;1.C.7)

The evaluators have scheduled interviews from 8:00am to 1:00pm with specific groups involved in addressing these recommendations. The purpose of the visit is to verify information in the ad hoc self-study submitted in early September, and a supplemental report provided last week.  In addition, the evaluators will be gathering additional information to ensure they have a full understanding of Shoreline’s progress since Fall of 2020 in addressing the cited standards.

If you have questions about the visit, please contact Bayta Maring (bmaring@shoreline.edu)
