NCA UPDATE

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you so much for your participation with the school-wide surveys. The steering committee members wrote the survey questions, and Bob Marshall designed the instruments. Thank you to the registrars for compiling the results of the student survey. The results of the five surveys (administrator, faculty, staff, student, and community) will help determine our goals for our upcoming NCA CASI site visit.

Thank you, also, for participating in the self-study. Your responses to the Standard and Criteria will be combined into one document to be submitted as our self-study report. The items that you rated as ‘not evident’ will be considered in the writing of the goals.

There is one other area in which we must collect data. This request is specifically for instructors. There are ten questions related to ‘community building’ within classrooms. Please click on this website to respond to the survey at your earliest convenience. Please complete your responses by May 9, 2008.

The steering committee members will be meeting on May 21 to look at all of the data and to write the overall goals for next year. In addition, the committee will determine the subcommittees that will be convened in the future to work on the accomplishment of those goals. It is intended that the goals and the necessary subcommittees will be posted for your review prior to the end of the school year.

Please watch for future editions of NCA UPDATE on Outlook, as well as our webpage.

Sincerely,

Your NCA Steering Committee .
