Discussion Items

2.  Discussion with Dr. Eveland (Academic Senate President) and Dr. Grimes (Dean/CTE Director) about the needs of the A.S. and CTE Division and the possible roles and responsibilities of the CTE Committee.

Dr. Grimes shared a PowerPoint titled CTE Articulation Ideas as a starting point for the wide‑ranging discussion. Dr. Eveland outlined CTE areas of need, based in 10 +1 and aligned with the committee charter. The published Career Technical Education Faculty Minimum Qualifications Toolkit (CTE Faculty Minimum Qualifications Work Group) was presented as a resource to inform the discussion.

Topics of discussion included

Need for clarity and consistency in evaluating applicant minimum qualifications for CTE areas (lack of clarity/confidence in determining appropriate, broad minimum qualifications as areas can be dissimilar and may differ by regional agencies).

Role of committee in identifying, monitoring, and disseminating information about changing and/or emerging CTE educational needs.

Role of CTE committee in relation to Academic Senate and other sub-committees of the Academic Senate.

Key CTE Committee Action/Focus/Priority Ideas Identified for Further Discussion and Possible Action:

  • Recommendation(s) for creation of CTE Faculty Internship for Industry Experts (see page 63 of CTE Min Quals Toolkit (following discussion).
  • Create a Guide to Applying for CTE Equivalency for Prospective Taft College Applicants (Ideas discussed include copy/paste/ modify some elements of CTE Min Quals Toolkit so TC applicants have a more consistent understanding of what is to be included in CTE equivalency submissions.
  • Make recommendations to divisions and Curriculum & General Education committee for creation of curriculum for undeveloped or emerging CTE areas appropriate to the College service area (examples discussed in support of entrepreneurship à designing, writing, and using business proposal; starting, owning, and running a business; accessing financial resources for new businesses).
  • Use the MQ CTE Toolkit as a guide for
    • Documentation of supplemental or other agency information in determining equivalency in CTE areas, (example of value MQs to teach at a court reporting school is different from MQ Handbook).
    • Develop a resource grid of professional organizations by CTE area as many have their own standards relevant to determining minimum qualifications.
  • Review, in detail, the Career Technical Education Faculty Minimum Qualifications Toolkit and
    • identify, adapt, and/or refer to appropriate group those contents/processes/patterns most likely to improve CTE processes and procedures at Taft College.
