   Susan Dollar distributed an example evaluation from Butler County Community College, (i.e.,” Instructional Assessment Report” and “Adjunct Instructor Self-Assessment Form”). Derek Zelmer shared his department evaluation (i.e.,” Classroom Observation Checklist”). It is completed once a year for retention purposes, and chair and faculty recognition. Peer Teaching Evaluations will be revisited at the next meeting. Marie Miller will share an evaluation from the Music Dept. She is on a committee to examine a single teacher evaluation model.

      Dr. Achleitner read the letter from Dr. Grover regarding the HLC resolution distributed at our previous meeting. ESU will support 5 people to attend the HLC meeting. Four programs, one from each college, will be identified from the university assessment plan summaries. Programs will be considered if they are “developmentally ready” for the level of involvement required by HLC. Chairs from each identified program will be contacted and asked if they (or a member of their faculty) would be willing to attend.

      Dr. Ambrosio distributed instructions to complete the HLC survey.
