o What is our role in clarifying that meaning?
o ATC and WEC can have separate versions of their CCN applications and approval
processes, and then move on to other councils

a local decision
▪ JTC and IC will need to examine this question in regards to the field
▪ Still questions about what CJ instructors are wanting out of this designation
o Big Bend - Intent is not to have them transferrable to 4-years, but to other schools in the CTE system
Decision – no vote for decision to hand the CCN for CJ to WEC ATC will let IC know of our decision

Work plan subcommittees meet and report out
Leaders: please send synopsis to Wendy Rockhill
▪ Transfer Process and racial inequities
o Inventory on diversity requirement
o Monica Hansen (lead), Kerrie Cavaness, Melissa Meade (SPSCC - Guest), Brian Palmer, Rebecca Cory, Jim Brady, Wendy Rockhill, Christie Gilliland
▪ Looking at conducting an inventory of diversity requirements within degrees and certificates We will focus on the transfer
degrees Kerrie has offered to do this We also had a discussion about what this will be used for, other than that we have been asked for it by IC
▪ Other data we would like:
• Do the classes we offer as diversity classes transfer as diversity classes or as electives?
• Do the universities/colleges in the state have a diversity requirement?
• We will have Joyce gather this information from the BI’s: “Do you have a diversity requirement and, if so, what
is it?”
• We may want to request further data at a future time, but will see what information we get tomorrow and then discuss at a later time if we need more
▪ IB/AP/Cambridge
o Clarified language from the fall for the AP chart
▪ Old Language:
• The chart included on this page represents the minimum credit/courses awarded for each Advanced Placement (AP) exam, recognized by all community and technical colleges in Washington Students interested in transferring to a four-year university should check the requirements of their target school to determine the best way to use their AP exam credits
▪ Clarified Language:
• The chart included on this page represents the course equivalencies awarded for each Advanced Placement (AP) exam score and recognized by all community and technical colleges in Washington Colleges may award additional credits based on local policies when appropriate Students interested in transferring to a four-year university should check the requirements of their target school to determine the best way to use their AP exam credits
▪ In the Table:
• In the header row - Delete “Course” ; Leave Credit
• Any row where it says “Elective” – Change language to
“Elective Only”
Trang 7o Needs to vote to send forward to IC
o Vote
o Moved by Christie Gilliland
o Second by Gwendolyn James
o Approved – unanimous
▪ Removes the credit/courses language
▪ Elective to “elective only”
o Action - Rationale for a threes on the chart will be completed before spring
▪ Seven areas that need to be addressed
• Art
• Tacoma has been volunteered for CS
• English
• Poly Sci – Val and Christian
o IB update
▪ The IB workgroup will compare the table that Sarah has drafted (based on the four-years’ work, our discussions with Bob Poole last spring, and faculty input) to what is common in the CTCs by Feb 28 At our follow up meeting on Feb 28, we will see if we have enough agreement to send out a draft to ATC for review prior to the Spring meeting The goal is to have a table of minimums (like we have for AP) that can serve
as a place holder until the COP finishes their work and we can continue to make revisions after sharing with our campuses and faculty.
▪ Dual Credit
o Awesome work group (Secretary agrees)
o Action – Draft by march and document for the spring meeting
▪ PLA/PEL Prior Experiential Learning
o Disbanded
▪ STEM courses
o Asked to review the process
o Subcommittee – High Demand CCN List for STEM
▪ Group Members: Carey Shroyer (Edmonds); Sally Heilstedt (Lake Washington); Heidi Ypma (Bellingham Tech)
o Review current criteria for inclusion
▪ Current definition/process is clear
▪ Is the definition/process the one we want to continue to use for inclusion and exclusion of courses from the list?
o Racial Equity Lens – Inclusion of NSF defined STEM courses and exclusion of NIH (i.e., health pathways) courses eliminates pathways utilized by more students of color and women
▪ From an equity lens, should the definition be expanded?
▪ Are the courses included elsewhere?
o Recommendation was made that the committee arrange a phone call with Darby about this
o IC has asked us to review
Trang 8• More of a discussion needed?
▪ Action – report to IC we need to discuss more at the spring meeting
▪ UGR/CUR
o Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience Workgroup
▪ Peter G Williams (lead), Carla Gelwicks, Doug Emory, Tom Broxson
o Our discussion last quarter and at this ATC meeting centered around how to leverage ATC and the SBCTC in coordinating CUREs activities throughout the State and accessing funding sources from federal grants and from the SBCTC We wish to note that research shows that CUREs initiatives support equity and inclusion Somewhat coincidentally on Wednesday, January 23,
2019, Dr Gita Bangera sent out an e-mail to a group of State community college CUREs leaders This e-mail included the following statement, in part,
o “You are getting this email either because you have a strong undergraduate research (UGR)/Classroom based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) program at your institution and/or you have expressed interest in being a leader in the state-wide effort to provide support and resources for faculty who want to use research as a pedagogical tool
o From our initial conversations, I have put together a very early draft of the following:
▪ The concept including the benefits of this High Impact Practice
▪ A possible roadmap including potential funding sources”
o In light of these parallel and similar initiatives between ATC’s CUREs Workgroup and Dr Bangera’s proposal, I plan to reach out to her to see if
we can collaborate concerning our like-minded intentions and goals
▪ Math Strategic Plan Initiative
o No directive given as of yet
10:00 – 10:15a Break
Strategic Enrollment Management – Holly Smith

Trang 9▪ Enrollments from fall – down about 2% in the system
o Up for BAS, apprenticeships, Elearning, Running Start and IBEST
o Down for ABE, BFET, International and Workfirst
▪ Legislation
o HB 1355 – (AFT bill) looking at the number of counselors you have on your campus
o SB 5150 – allow armed security on campus
▪ If you are interested in attending the Feb 4th meeting with BIs and Guided Pathways please inform Wendy
▪ Action – asking for a math faculty to help with the math pathways group (people that were already on the group)
▪ WACTC update
ATC representatives appointed to:
▪ ICRC – Christian/Gabe
o No winter meeting for ICRC
▪ CBS – Doug Emory –
o Anyone who supervises dev ed English or math should plan on attending the dev
ed/basic ed integration summit on March 8 at Seatac The goal of this workshop is to begin reducing the vast overlap between basic ed and dev ed curriculum and
shortening/straightening the math and English pathways for students
o CBS has expressed concern that some versions of guided pathways maps fail to include opportunities for basic education students to access the pathway, relegating them to the old “remediate first/go to college later” models that have blocked transition to college for many of our students in the past If you’re engaged in developing guided pathways maps, please be aware of the potential integrated education programs like I-BEST offer for moving students into college immediately and in that way increasing their potential for college success
▪ WEC – Kim Chapman – Meeting after ATC
▪ BLC – Stephanie Delaney – Meeting after ATC
Final updates and discussions
▪ Wendy will be sending out a survey for professional development
Share out from question posed to the group:
“In the face of increasing or declining enrollments, what strategies is your college employing to increase
enrollment while closing equity gaps?”
