4 V. Notable Achievements for Child Development The Early Childhood AS-T Degree has been California Community College Chancellor's Office (CCCCO) approved effective summer The following are completions for Child Development Certificates, A.S. Degrees in Child Development and Educational Paraprofessional, Transfers, Child Development Permits (issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing) for CERTIFICATES: 197 DEGREES: 61 (32 Child Development and 29 Educational Paraprofessional ) CHILD DEVELOPMENT PERMITS: 81 TRANSFERS: 75 The Child Development Advisory Committee is comprised of professionals and experts from community partnerships. The Child Development Department has a carefully selected Advisory Committee which includes representatives from key components of the educational spectrum, including partner universities, state agencies, private educational organizations, and family child care providers. The Department holds two meetings a year (fall and spring). Essential partnerships are also performed through the work of individual faculty members. Karen Curran serves as the regional coordinator for the California Early Childhood Mentor Program (CECMT), Darlene Landeros serves as the campus coordinator of the California Early Childhood Mentor Program, Tony Henry served as the Child Development Workforce Initiative (CDWFI) coordinator, Kisha Williamson and Doug Hughey serve on the Cal Poly Pomona Child Development Department Advisory Board, Doug Hughey serves as the Teacher Preparation Institute coordinator and on the Advisory Board for the Walnut Valley Unified School District. Kisha Williamson serves as a representative for Partnerships for Education, Articulation and Coordination through er Education (PEACH). Cecelia Thay serves as the Articulation Liaison for the CTE partners. Ninety percent of Child Development courses require at least one observation assignment and the Child Development Observation Laboratory accommodates this student need. A total of 1,891 student observation appointments were conducted at the Observation Laboratory to complete observation assignments. The access to the Observation Laboratory has enhanced students' ability to collect and report data linking observed behaviors and interactions of children and to developmental theory. A well equipped and adequately staffed laboratory provides excellent training and education opportunities essential to student success. A total of 4 Child Observation Lab Technicians are funded through Title V and Perkins and are essential to assist students with the operation camera and audio equipment. The Title V funded Observation Lab coordinator compiles and analyzes data collection, arranges schedules of Lab Technicians, coordinates with Child Development faculty, resolves technical problems with equipment and coordinates appointment scheduling with the CDC. Observation and practicum experiences for students at the Child Development Center allow future practitioners with a broad knowledge of child development theory, observation and assessment, and hands-on application, while implementing national and state standards for quality infant, toddler, and preschool programs. The outcome of the collaborative relationship between the Child Development Center and Child Development Department are highlyskilled, informed, life-long learners who demonstrate knowledgeable, reflective and critical perspectives on their practice. Student would not be able to acquire these essential skills and abilities without the Child Development Center and Observation Laboratory. The Child Development and Education Department faculty are committed to ongoing professional development. This year our full time faculty attended 12 conferences and workshops. Professional development helps the Child Development faculty stay abreast in the field and provide relevant instruction to students. Unit: Support student sucess B.

5 Med The Child Development Workforce Initiative (CDWFI) program is in its 4th and final year of operation. Student activity and participation is very strong with 221 core members, an additional 130 from the previous year. 81 students earned a California Child Development permit, 1,891 student observation appointments were conducted at the Observation Laboratory to complete assignments, 80 students completed Pediatric CPR/First Aid /AED Training, and more than 200 high school students participated in content or recruitment workshops. The following is a list of completions for Child Development Certificates, A.S. Degrees in Child Development and Educational Paraprofessional, Transfers, and Child Development Permits (issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing) for CERTIFICATES: 197 DEGREES: 61 (32 Child Development and 29 Educational Paraprofessional ) CHILD DEVELOPMENT PERMITS: 81 TRANSFERS: 75 The Child Development Department continued to participate in the Title V grant to support entry level students in obtaining certificates, degree and permit advancement and completion. A total of 230 students participated in three cohorts in the program. The articulation agreements between the Child Development Department and Adult Education Programs resulted in 23 students passing the credit by exam and receiving college coursework credit (CHLD 5-14 students, CHLD 61-9 students).

7 Where We Are Going: Planning for the Next Two Years: , VII. Planning Context: Unit Goals Assessed and Revised VII. Planning Context - Unit Goals Assessed and Revised for Child Development The following table contains the over arching goals that guide your Unit's mission and the mission of the college (as noted in Section One). Over arching goals are not specific plans or activities, but more general goals that drive your Unit's mission.

Review, revise and/or add new information as necessary. Please include data sources used. Select the "Year" in column one to reflect changes. The "Link to Data Sources and Support Options" button will open a Mt. SAC webpage that offers suggestions and links for potential data sources for your Unit. (Text boxes will expand. Add (+) rows, delete (-) rows as needed.) Year External Conditions, Trends, or Impacts Data Sources Cont'd New ED10 requires K-12 classroom observations which necessitates partnerships with local school districts. These on-going partnerships are in the process of being established and maintained to meet student need. In order to align with C-ID requirements, CHLD 73 Infants at Risk was modified and CHLD 79 Care and Education for Infants and Toddlers was created. The modification of the Infant/Toddler Development Certificate aligns with the requirements of the Curriculum Alignment Project (CAP). In addition, an Infant /Toddler Field work and seminar combination (CHLD Infant/Toddler Practicum Seminar) and CHLD 87 (Infant/Toddler Practicum Field Work) was created and complies with CAP requirements. This work is consistent and timely with the trend in Early Care and Education of focusing on the earliest years of development. The new CHLD 86/CHLD 87 practicum will be an alternative practicum pathway for students, reducing the bottleneck from the limited space availability in CHLD 67/CHLD 67L. The new courses have been submitted for approval through the Curriculum Committee Cont'd. The advent of the implementation of Transitional Kindergarten has lead the department to examine ways to modify current pathways to create teacher preparation programs that will adequately educate and train future practitioners. Articulation agreement C-ID, State Department of Education, Child Development Division State Department of Education, Child Development Division Year Internal Conditions, Trends, or Impacts Data Sources New Cont'd The completion of the Child Development Workforce Initiative (CDWFI) grant leaves the department without a qualified employee to preview California Child Development Permit applications. Trained employees guide students through the process of gathering information for the application and review each comprehensive application materials to certify that the application meets the requirements. A Child Development permit is an official credential administered by the State of California and must be carefully reviewed and verified for completeness in order to sign off each application. The absence of personnel qualified to guide students through the permit application process and submission will adversely impact the student attainment of a permit which is necessary to enter the workforce. The absence of personnel will also limit the promotion and accessibility and promotion of permits and data tracking of permit completion. The sustainability of a reputable program requires full-time faculty members with high levels of commitment, current expertise and involvement in the field to provide relevant and current direction to improve, expand and modernize the services delivered to students. The college has hired one new Child Development professor for the school year, however the second vacant full-time faculty position must be replaced to sustain program quality and continuity. In addition, department's substantial dependence upon adjunct professors to teach CD coursework impacts the quality of the discipline. Adjunct faculty, no matter how carefully hired, require support, training and assessment and have a learning curve before they are fully effective in the classroom. Senior faculty are fulfilling the more complex departmental program roles, campus obligations, and critical involvement in the active and evolving field. It is paramount that full-time faculty members participate in policy decisions and hold positions of leadership locally and statewide to assure decisions are established that will positively impact the program and the field. CDWFI Proposal for new faculty hire research Page 8 of 14

9 Cont'd Cont'd New New Practicum Fieldwork Experience as an essential part of teacher training, as well as a focus topic at the state and local level. Supervised practicum requirements are under review by the State to develop as more consistent standard for practical fieldwork experience. Mt SAC has maintained a high standard for practicum and sought out as a leader in the field for practicum practices that result in preparing students for their future work in the field. The current collaboration with the campus Child Development Center has proved to be highly effective with student preparation. The Child Development Observation Lab completed its second year of operation. Grant funding for the Lab technicians comes through Title V and Perkins. In order to sustain this vital campus Laboratory, a full-time permanent Lab supervisor is needed. The Title V funded Observation Lab Technician IV (coordinator) compiles and analyzes data collection, arranges schedules of Lab Technicians, coordinates with Child Development faculty, resolves technical problems with equipment and coordinates appointment scheduling with the CDC. An analysis of student surveys completed each semester shows that students success in coursework is directly tied to the availability and supports provided in the laboratory. CDWFI funding provided a part-time academic counselor to serve students in a designated office within the Child Development Department. The counselor provided direct services to students through advisement, educational planning, transfer planning, graduation checks, Child Development permit application review, and the development of Student Education Plans. Direct access to an available, accessible, academic counselor knowledgeable about Child Development academic and career paths is an essential component to student persistence and success. The loss of a part-time academic counselor familiar with Child Development will adversely impact student achievement and certificate, degree, and transfer completion. Success in individual courses leads to certificate, degree completion and transfer. The CD department has provided a lending library for required courses funder through the CDWFI grant. The completion of the CDWFI grant will lead to the loss of support for the textbook loan program. The loss of personnel to administer, manage, and maintain the textbook loan program will adversely impact students who lack resources to acquire a required course textbook. Commission of Teacher Credentialing, Child Development Permit Advisory Panel Year Retention and/or Success Data Data Sources Cont'd Cont'd Cont'd. During the academic year, 197 certificates were issued, 61 students graduated, 75 students transfered, and 81 California Child Development Permits have been processed. The certificates align with the California Child Development Permits, increasing the numbers for both certificate and permit attainment. Some Child Development students move into various levels of employment and may not attain the Child Development AA degree. Students are provided with a pathway to completion through nested certificates, degree and credentials to becoming an early care and education professional. Students complete the Certificate Level I (12 units) for Assistant Teacher positions or the Children's Program Certificate: Teaching (39 units) for lead teacher positions. Non-traditional populations continue to face non-normative barriers to completion and benefit from the development of established safety nets. Developing an effective way to identify barriers to completion and employment and providing early direction channels students to services/events/pathways that help them advance towards completion and employment. In addition, academic counseling, tutoring, and resources for non-traditional populations has showed to be beneficial to improve technical skill attainment and minimizes overall barriers to completion. Attracting and retaining nontraditional populations to Child Development has been successful. Title V Perkins CDWFI CDWFI Argos Department Records Year Critical Decisions Data Sources Cont'd The Child Development Department continues to coordinated efforts and access funding to maintain the Child Observation Laboratory since it is integral to student success. Decisions have been made regarding staffing, observation protocols, and newly required SB702 immunization mandates. Perkins Perkins Campus Building and Design program Page 9 of 14

10 Cont'd Cont'd Cont'd Cont'd The training of workforce-ready graduates for employment in Infant and Toddler Care is of paramount importance to the current needs of the local community and State. Offering the combination CHLD 86 - Infant/Toddler Practicum Seminar and CHLD 87 - Infant/Toddler Practicum Field Work aligns with CAP requirements and is timely and consistent with trends in Early Care and Education. The implementation of Transitional Kindergarten has lead the department to examine ways to modify current courses to create teacher preparation programs that will satisfy the State requirement for qualifying Transitional Kindergarten teachers. The Child Development Department will continue to collaborate with the Child Development Training Consortium (CDTC) to inform students of education and experience requirements for the California Child Development Permit Matrix. Maintaining a CDTC contract expedites the permit application and issuance process which gives students a "work-ready" advantage since the permit is required by many ECE employers. Continued participation in California Community College Early Childhood Educators (CCCECE) keeps the Department abreast of state and local issues regarding teacher preparation. Networking allows California Community Colleges to discuss issues, and collaborate with local planning agents to identity roles in strategic planning. It is critical that department faculty continue to actively participate and provide leadership on both regional and statewide levels Cont'd.
