Allan Hancock College Program Review Annual Update Date: April 18, 2017 Program and Department: Spanish (Dept. Languages and Communication) Program Mission (check all that apply) Additional programs included in this review: Date of last comprehensive review**: Transfer Career/Technical (CTE) General Education Basic Skills Education Noncredit Education Workforce/economic development 2014-2015 Submitted By: Ana M. Gómez de Torres Attachments (* as needed): 6-year assessment plan All programs, when applicable 2-year scheduling plan *Faculty Prioritization Worksheet (Request) *Equipment Prioritization Request *Classified or Management Position Request Form *TAC Request Form For New Technology *Faculty Professional Development Funding Request **Copies of the Comprehensive program reviews can be found in the Program Review matrix. These will list the date when they were submitted. I. Alignment of the Program with the AHC Mission AHC Mission: Allan Hancock College provides quality educational opportunities that enhance student learning and the creative, intellectual, cultural, and economic vitality of our diverse community. a. Have there been any changes that would require a change to your Program Mission? b. Explain how your program mission aligns with the college mission. The Spanish Language program is committed to providing students with excellent educational opportunities to develop and enhance their oral communication, reading, and writing skills in Spanish, as well as develop cultural competence, global awareness, and gain an appreciation for the diversity of the Spanish-speaking world and culture(s). Further, we encourage students to pursue and sustain their goals for native-like Spanish linguistic skills in order to achieve personal, vocational and/or academic goals. Alignment with PLO: The graduate of the AA/AAT program in Spanish will be an independent language learner and have core competencies in grammar and vocabulary, reading, writing, oral and listening skills, and develop a cultural awareness to achieve their personal, vocational, and academic goals. Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 1

II. Student Success, Program Accessibility and Program Capacity (The data for this section is provided and inserted by Effectiveness) a. Please comment on data and trends. The enrollment numbers and sections offered in 2015-2016 declined in comparison to 2014-2015 because from having 3 full-time faculty, the discipline went down to having 1 full-time faculty. In addition, we faced the challenge of not finding qualified part-time SPAN instructors. Therefore, we had to cancel 3-4 fully enrolled classes due to lack of SPAN faculty to teach them. b. Are there cross-listed courses and if so how does this affect the data? c. If this year's figures for the program are below the set standard explain steps you will take to improve. The success figures of this year are not below the set standard. Is important to point out that last year s disparities between F2F and DL are not a major issue this year. The Success and retention for both F2F and DL have improved from last year. However, it is very interesting that the success figure for F2F decrease this year. We will continue the dialogue already established among full-time and part-time faculty to collectively find ways to continue to improve both areas of success and retention of our program. Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 2

d. If your program offers certificates or degrees, has existed for at least five years and has awarded fewer than 6 degrees/certificates over the last two years explain the reason for the low number and your plan to improve. We currently offer the AA and AA-T degrees and three different certificates of accomplishment in Spanish. The degrees awarded improved from 4 to 5. A total of 9 degrees were awarded in the last two years. No certificates of accomplishment were awarded in the last two years due to cancelation of SPAN 111 and 112 because of low enrollment. The number of students who get the AA in Spanish is closely linked to our offering of SPAN 103 and 104, core courses for the degree. Plan to improve: We are actively doing High School outreach to increase enrollment in our program, and we continue to work with concurrent enrollment agreements with area high schools. We continue to distribute our Spanish program brochure that showcases our AA degree, our Spanish AAT - degree, and our three certificates to get the word out of what Hancock offers in Spanish. We have also revised the scheduling plans that we hope will assist students and counselors. These plans serve as a guarantee of course offerings so that students and counselors know when we plan to offer the courses and advice students appropriately for purposes of petitioning degrees or certificates in a timely manner. We updated the SPAN webpage (Hancock website) to reflect the revised scheduling plan. We have collaborated with Community Education in the development of more vocational Spanish courses, such as Spanish for Health Personnel, and we hope to collaborate to develop Spanish for Court Interpreting. Labor market data shows demand for certificates in these two areas, as well as high wages in these professions (Interpreters for Medical Spanish, Court Interpreters- Spanish ). We will continue our good working relationship with the counseling department to inform them about any curriculum changes and/or courses offered which tend to have low enrollment. This way, the counseling department can better inform our students about our program and also, they can help by disseminating the information about the courses offered to avoid cancelation due to low enrollment. Lastly, we will continue to participate in campus events in which we can promote our program such as in Career Exploration Day, etc. e. Describe how the program works to promote student success. Include teaching innovations and use of academic and student support. Recommendations to Improve Student Learning Outcomes and Achievement Strategic Goal(s) Target Date Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 3

1. The development of an entry and/or mid-semester assessment on all SPAN courses offered to measure progression and improvement within the semester toward s. A common assessment earlier in the semester could also help address gaps in a timely manner and with the most significant impact on those students. 2. The cultural component for our courses continues to be a challenge. Funding is needed to provide students with service learning and experiential learning opportunities, as well as providing opportunities for field trips and cultural events (off and on campus) that would enhance their language learning experience by making it real and significant to them. 3. Start the research for developing a potential Summer study abroad program (in collaboration with other disciplines like arts, dance, theater, etc.) which could help with all aspects of the language, especially the cultural aspect. 4. Stipends or funding of some is needed to engage part-time Spanish faculty in assessment, including common grading. They are a crucial component to our program, and without them and their cooperation in place, we would not be able to do what we have achieved so far. 5. Development of online training modules for PT Spanish faculty that addresses assessment development, rubrics, grading protocols, and elumen data entry. 6. Development of an outreach module that showcases the Spanish program, but also serves as an extra tool for counselors. Goal SLS1: To ensure continuous improvement based on Student Learning Outcomes assessment data. Goal SLS2: To support student access, achievement, and success. Goal SL3: Ensure students are directed Goal SLS4: Ensure students are focused Goal SLS5 Nurture students Goal SLS6: Engage students Goal SLS7: Ensure students are connected. Goal SLS8: Value student contributions 1. 2017-2018 2. Work on the cultural component is ongoing but the next phase moving outside of the classroom is slated to start 2017-2018. 3. 2019-2020 4. Collaborative work with the PT Spanish faculty is ongoing but sporadic. Funding is needed for a more comprehensive plan to be in place. We expect 2017-2018 to be a realistic target date. 5. 2017-2018 6. 2017-2018 Recommendations to Accommodate Changes in Student Characteristics Strategic Goal(s) Target Dates 1. Enrollment Changes: None at this time. Data indicate we are on track with currently offered sections (times/dates/locations). Ideally, we would like to offer more sections, but without enough instructors in place, it is a tough call. 2. Demographic Changes: a. In order to improve the odds for African-American students, First Time students, and students enrolling in DL sections, we need to: b. Partner up with Student Services, IRP, and the DL Coordinator in finding viable solutions to some of our enrollment and demographics challenges. c. Work closely with the academic dean in developing an efficient scheduling offer for Spanish courses that addresses efficient growth and equal access. Goal SLS1: To ensure continuous improvement based on Student Learning Outcomes assessment data. Goal SLS2: To support student access, achievement, and success. Goal SL3: Ensure students are directed. Goal SLS4: Ensure students are focused. Goal SLS5: Nurture students. Goal SLS6: Engage students. Goal SLS7: Ensure students are connected. 1. Ongoing 2. 2017-2018 Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 4

Recommendations to Improve Student Retention and Success Strategic Goal(s) Target 1. Continue review and analysis of P/Cs to ensure continuous improvement of the program and identifying gaps that may trigger decreased retention scores. 2. Develop activities designed to engage students early in the semester: (1) activities aimed at directing, engaging, nurturing and valuing students, and (2) activities aimed at developing connections with other students. 3. Develop clear guidelines for students enrolled in SPAN classes that also serve to keep them directed and focused. Such guidelines should be consistent across all SPAN courses and address various aspects of classroom administration. 4. Work collaboratively with the Counseling department and Student Services in order to flag specific students, identify the services needed, and develop appropriate strategies to re-engage and nurture student (s) back to success. 5. Develop a voluntary process by which students report on the reasons for dropping/withdrawing from Spanish courses, and use such data on program/course improvement. 6. Actively re-engage students who disappear from the classroom. 7. Continue collaboration with IRP and analysis of existing retention and success data to identify specific trends that need to be addressed. 8. Partnering with the DL Coordinator in identifying emerging technologies that could enhance instruction in our DL Spanish sections. Goal SLS1: To ensure continuous improvement based on Student Learning Outcomes assessment data. Goal SLS2: To support student access, achievement, and success. Goal SL3: Ensure students are directed. Goal SLS4: Ensure students are focused. Goal SLS5: Nurture students. Goal SLS6: Engage students. Goal SLS7: Ensure students are connected. Goal SLS8: Value student contributions. Date 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 are ongoing tasks. #3-2017-2018 is the target date for the development and implementation of clear and consistent course administration guidelines. #5-2017-2018 is the target date for development and implementation of a tool to survey students who have dropped or withdrew from classes. #8 target dates are 2017-2018 Recommendations to Improve the Educational Environment Strategic Goal(s) Target Curricular Changes 1. Development of a SPAN 106 course, Introduction to Hispanic Literature, that introduces students to the development of a literary tradition that broke from Spain to develop its own wings in the New World. 2. Modify existing Certificates of Accomplishment and/or create Certificates of Achievement to reflect the new Spanish in the Workplace trend. Co-Curricular Changes 3. Modify/Improve existing grading rubrics. 4. Develop rubrics for specific core competencies, such as listening comprehension. 5. Provide Spanish faculty adequate training in the use of the rubrics. 6. Provide PT faculty with stipends in order to reward their participation in assessment and data entry in elumen. Neighboring College and University Plans 7. Renew articulation agreements with Cal Poly 8. Related Community Plans 9. Seek partnerships with community stakeholders in order to provide students in Spanish courses with service-learning and experiential opportunities of a cultural nature. Goal SLS1: To ensure continuous improvement based on Student Learning Outcomes assessment data. Goal SLS2: To support student access, achievement, and success. Goal SL3: Ensure students are directed. Goal SLS4: Ensure students are focused. Goal SLS5: Nurture students. Goal SLS6: Engage students. Goal SLS7: Ensure students are connected. Date 1. 2017-2018 2. 2017-2018 3. Ongoing 4.

10. Collaborate with interested community stakeholders in developing Contract Education opportunities that meet their demand for workforce re-training and more. Recommendations that Require Additional Resources Strategic Goal(s) Target Facilities Designated classroom for Spanish courses. Goal SLS2: To support student access, achievement, and success. Goal SL3: Ensure students are directed. Goal SLS4: Ensure students are focused. Goal SLS6: Engage students. Date 2017-2018 Equipment None noted Staffing FT Spanish position - Without qualified part-timer instructors in place, we cannot offer as many sections as we would like, especially DL sections, which are normally in high demand for our program. The need to offer more sections to meet student demand, to grow FTES in our program, increase program completers, and meet community demand for Spanish in the workplace courses, is pointing to the need for another FT Spanish position, one with a strong DL background. Goal SLS1: To ensure continuous improvement based on Student Learning Outcomes assessment data. Goal SLS2: To support student access, achievement, and success. Goal SLS5: Nurture students. Goal SLS6: Engage students. 2017-2018 for the FT faculty position Technology Development of an online Outreach module(s) for students that showcases the program, degrees, and employment factors. The module would live in the Spanish page within the Hancock webpage. Further, this module would also assist counselors with appropriate placement and/or providing students with information. Mobile technology to capture audio/video for common grading and assessment of specific learning outcomes in Spanish. Goal SLS1: To ensure continuous improvement based on Student Learning Outcomes assessment data. Goal SLS2: To support student access, achievement, and success. Goal SL3: Ensure students are directed. Goal SLS4: Ensure students are focused. Goal SLS6: Engage students. 2017-2018 Goal SLS7: Ensure studen connected. Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 6

Fiscal Needs A budget is needed for: Marketing, outreach, and recruitment supplies and materials for campus events such as Career Day. Outreach opportunities to the local high schools. Purchasing textbooks and materials for the LRC and PT instructors. Providing students with meaningful experiential/serviceoriented opportunities, including organizing field trips and/or developing cultural events on and off-campus. Goal SLS2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 2017-2018 f. List any notable accomplishments of the program (student awards, honors, or scholarships can be listed here also). We continue to offer the Spanish AAT and three separate certificates of accomplishment that address vocational needs in the community for Spanish Language Skills. All our SPAN courses have been C-ID approved [which allows students from any CCC to take our courses and be articulated directly]. Our courses were updated during their course review cycle one year ahead of schedule. Their current GE standing prevailed but we were also able to add our courses to the Multicultural and Gender Studies graduation requirement, and also get SPAN courses approved for the IGETC Language Other than English criteria. We continue to be one of the few programs in campus that assesses all s of all courses every semester with an excellent collaboration with our Part-Time faculty. III. Quality and Innovation in the Program and Curriculum Review Please refer to the Current Data Set for your program found at http://research.hancockcollege.edu/student_learning_outcomes/matrix.html a. Are all courses on track to be assessed at least once during your six-year cycle? If not, please explain. (Course Statistics and Evidence Report Summary page 1, 13 th row) We continue to assess all s for all courses offered every semester. Overall (Spring, Summer, & Fall 2016) 48.64% exceeds standards, 38.87% meets standards, and 12.49% are below standard. This means that 87.51% have core competencies in grammar and vocabulary, reading, writing, oral and listening skills, and develop a cultural awareness, to achieve their personal, vocational and academic goals. b. Describe how you have shared your assessments or improvement plans with your department, program, or Advisory Committee. What actions did this result in? If no discussion has happened, please explain. The Spanish faculty continues to use the final exam and oral assessment activities as the assessment tools for all our SPAN courses. The final exam is designed to measure grammar and vocabulary proficiency, writing proficiency, reading proficiency, listening comprehension, and cultural awareness and appreciation proficiency. The oral assessment activities measure proficiency when speaking in the target language [ability to pronounce with native-like accuracy, understand information, recall information, and formulate appropriate sentences.] In addition, in SPAN 105, in order to assess 6, all assigned essays (narrative, descriptive, academic, persuasive, argumentative) will be assessed to measure students ability to differentiate among the various s of essays used in Spanish, as well as the specific grammar, content, structure, and format linked to each of these. All assessment will continue to be assessed using established rubrics to measure the following core competencies: grammar and vocabulary, writing, reading, listening and oral communication, and cultural awareness. Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 7

As it relates to our P, the data collected from the courses being assessed confirms that we are in target with our P. We have shared our assessments or improvement plans with our department during our department meeting when we give s updates. The Spanish faculty meet at least once per semester to discuss changes in elumen, and collectively modify rubrics and the assessment tool. Full-time faculty have offered Professional Development workshops in what our discipline does as we assess our s and how that has benefited our program. c. Did any of your section or course improvement plans indicate that your program would benefit from specific resources in order to support student learning or faculty development? If so, list resources needed. (Course Statistics and Evidence Report page 2 through end of report view action plans/resource request column) The cultural component for our courses continues to be a challenge. Funding is needed to provide students with service learning and experiential learning opportunities, as well as providing opportunities for field trips and cultural events (off and on campus) that would enhance their language learning experience by making it real and significant to them. Stipends or funding of some is needed to engage part-time Spanish faculty in assessment, including common grading. They are a crucial component to our program, and without them and their cooperation in place, we would not be able to do what we have achieved so far. d. Has your assessment data identified the need to modify your course outlines or student learning outcomes? If so, please describe the modifications you will be making. (Course Statistics and Evidence Report page 2 through end of report and P Performance Report) One of the modifications of the COR for SPAN 101 and 102 is the textbook. The new adopted textbook/ebook/e-workbook will offer a better experience with technology to our DL and Hybrid students. On the online and hybrid classes, the oral and listening skills and the cultural competency are always a challenge to address if we do not have the proper technology needed. The s data offers us an opportunity to rethink how we are doing in the classroom in terms of meeting the needs of all learning styles. Not only, do we reflect on the s and assessment tools, we also reflect in our teaching styles, teaching philosophies, and the level of collaboration happening among our colleagues to focus on our common goal which is student s success by offering a similar academic experience from class to class within our program. Is important to mention that at the beginning when we started assessing our s based on the data collected, all s for all of our course were modified. e. Have all Course Outlines been reviewed within the last 5 years? If not, please explain the plan to bring Course Outlines up to date and include timelines for the review and submission to AP&P. All of our Course Outlines have been reviewed within the last 5 years. SPAN 189 (Independent Project) has no date on when it was last reviewed. We will find out if we need to review this course. If we need to do so, we will do that in Fall 2017. f. Describe any new courses offered as distance education and document the ways that the program instructors are meeting the requirement to provide regular and substantive contact. We do not have any new courses offered as distance education. However, we continue to offer SPAN 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105 via DL, F2F, or hybrid modalities to offer students a variety of learning experiences and make our program accessible to them. For online contact, we have set F2F and DL office hours available via email, Canvas, Skype, and CCC Confer. In addition, instructors email students couple times in a weekly basis to remind students about assignments due and to clarify any difficult concept. Also, if students have little or no activity, instructors email students to find out about their lack of DL activity and to offer them support. Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 8

g. For CTE courses/programs only: As per 55003, have prerequisites, co-requisites, and advisories (PCAs) for courses and/or programs been reviewed within the last 2 years (CTE Only)? IV. Focus and Engagement of the Program a. Summarize major trends and opportunities as well as challenges that have emerged in the program. OPPORTUNITIES: 1. We continue to work with our local high schools to offer concurrent enrollment for FRCH. In addition, we have received requests for SPAN as well. 2. Within the SPAN, ASL, and ITAL disciplines we have very involved and dedicated part-time faculty members whom do work without compensation such as COR modifications and s assessment and reporting. CHALLENGES: 1. One of the major challenges is to keep all foreign languages disciplines moving forward with the support of only 1 full-time faculty member. This has caused a huge challenge for one full-time faculty member to do everything (teaching, planning, grading, s lead, foreign languages scheduling, book requisition, curriculum modifications, program annual update, and committee work, etc.) b. LIST any (internal or external) conditions that have influenced the program in the past year. INTERNAL CONDITIONS: 2. Even though, Spanish was stripped of.30 release time for lead instructor, we continue to do our responsibilities to evaluation, program review, yearly update, assessment design and implementation, cross-section training and communication between instructors regarding emerging issues in each level of instruction as well as outcomes collection, reporting, and publication. However, it can be challenging when one has to do all this work AND teach a full-time load with no compensation. It takes time away from other responsibilities. 3. STAFFING: In fall 2015, the discipline went from having 3 full-time faculty members down to 2 fulltime faculty members. In fall 2016, the discipline went from having 2 full-time faculty members down to 1 full-time faculty member. The SPAN program has found itself in a difficult situation in trying to staff all the courses, not to mention a drastic reduction in FTES. In addition, this has caused a huge challenge for one full-time faculty member to do everything (s lead, foreign languages scheduling, book requisition, curriculum modifications, program annual update, committee work, and teaching, etc.) 4. DESIGNATED CLASSROOM FOR SPANISH COURSES: The Spanish faculty had the following classroom as a designated FL classroom, C-36. However, during the restructuring of departments in 2008-2009, we lost this room, and since then, finding a viable classroom in which to teach our 5-unit transfer courses has become a challenge. Although we do teach a few sections in the C building, we have been teaching in the K building, and at times, in other classrooms, such as in the W building. More often than not, we can t accommodate students preferred times and dates due to the lack of a classroom space. Spanish competes with many 3-unit classes across campus, which affects high unit courses such as Spanish. The full-time Spanish faculty would like to offer students some consistency in terms of a physical place, as well as more favorable times and days for F2F scheduling, and a designated classroom with a smart podium and data projector is an ideal venue for our courses. This will also allow us to bring alive this classroom with information and posters that can reflect the cultural aspects of the Spanish-speaking world. EXTERNAL CONDITIONS: 1. Given our geographical location, we continue to have a difficult time finding qualified part-time faculty to teach our courses. Many of our former part-time faculty have moved from the area due to the budget crisis. Program Review Annual Update - DRAFT 5/1/17 9
