ECPO Year Plan Meeting

OMG - ECPO Year Plan meeting still trying to sell SLS 1105 and their "student focused" new class format is "ground breaking". It makes me gag. The information within this class is not only 10 years outdated but it also is incorrectly applied to help students become strong academically. Self esteem by itself will not make a successful student, if you want students to graduate you need for them to develop academic skills (e.g. reading retention, writing, etc.)

Here is an idea, if you want to talk about a 12 month plan tell your full time and adjunct faculty how they will be supported in teaching, not babysitting, and how there is job security.

Yup...there is a general sentiment shared by many in "leadership roles" at CCi that instructors never did enough to keep the asses in the classes.

Kind of hard when students are barely there, don't bother reading the text, and "borrow" words and thoughts from the internet and their peers.

Ya' it's totally upside-down. The only people at CCi with any integrity are many of the instructors. Yet they get blamed by CCi leadership when the truly illiterate and mentally handicapped can't pass their classes when it is CCi's leadership that allows anyone with a pulse and access to Title IV to be admitted. And of course CCi leadership also squelched ALL discussions regarding meaningful remediation as it would diminish profits. Will ECMC change any of this?

SLS 1105 has been used in the past to prove, that using the correct textbook, curriculm, and lesson plan ALL the students will EXCELL, unless the instructor is incompetent!!

Don't blame management, Blame the Instructor!

Good morale builder for the bosses.
