1 Criminal Justice Program Review Self-Study 2013 CRIMINAL JUSTICE SELF-STUDY Fall 2013 Spring
2 1.1 Introduction. The Criminal Justice program offered at SCC has been in existence since the 1960 s. The program has evolved from a combination of course offerings in academic courses, perishable skills, i.e. firearms training, defensive tactics, arrest and control procedures and a POST (Police Officers Standards & Training) Penal Code curriculum into an academic program exclusively. Recently, we eliminated several course offerings due to historically low enrollment or the determination that the courses were too closely related to another course. Other courses were eliminated because it was determined that the information being presented was better suited to a POST academy setting. The program is unique in that all the professors are either active or retired law enforcement, corrections or court personnel with extensive experience in their respective fields. Many of the students in the program are interested in a law enforcement or corrections career. Other students take courses and then transfer to a four-year college or university. Many students take CJ courses to be better informed about the criminal justice system with no goal of actually working in the system. Currently, the Criminal Justice Department offers four opportunities for degrees and/or certificates: 1. Associate of science in law enforcement 2. Certificate in law enforcement 3. Associate of science in corrections 4. Certificate in corrections It is possible for students to obtain degrees and/or certificates in both areas simultaneously. As a department, our mission is to educate and mentor students and to provide them the practical training and academic tools necessary to be successful in a criminal justice related career. The Solano College catalogue describes the programs as the following: Criminal Justice, Corrections Program Description This program offers core and selective courses which provide the student with a base of knowledge and proficiencies in the area of corrections. The program operates with the cooperation and participation of local corrections agencies. All instructors in the program have experience in the corrections field. Courses are scheduled both day and evening to accommodate full-time or part-time students seeking to acquire or upgrade skills in the corrections field. The Associate in Science Degree can be obtained upon completion of 60 units, including the major, general education requirements, and electives. The Certificate of Achievement can be obtained upon completion of the 30-unit major listed below. 2
3 Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement Program Description This program was established with the cooperation of the Solano County Criminal Justice Advisory Committee and offers courses for both pre-service and in-service students. All instructors have experience in law enforcement, and courses are scheduled day or evening to accommodate full-time and part-time students seeking to acquire or upgrade skills in the field. The Associate in Science Degree can be obtained upon completion of 60 units, including the major, general education requirements, and electives. The Certificate of achievement can be obtained upon completion of the 30 unit major. Per SB1440 we are required to have a TMC in 2014 and that is currently being completed. 1.2 Relationship to College Mission and Strategic Goals. The CJ department s mission closely aligns with that of the college. We educate an ethnically and academically diverse population of students from our local communities and help them achieve their professional and personal goals. We provide professors who are SME s (subject matter experts) who can provide a real-world perspective. The department also places a high value on mentoring and guidance for students who desire a career in law enforcement or corrections. This program supports SCC s Strategic Directions and Goals in the following ways: Table 1. SCC s Strategic Directions and Goals Goal 1: Foster Excellence in Learning Obj. 1.1 Create an environment that is conducive to student learning. Program Evidence Faculty in our program work hard to build community in our classrooms by creating an environment of respect and openness to diverse ideas. We try to meet students where they are at academically, and scaffold their learning while maintaining high standards. We are accessible in class and out, getting to know students names, providing timely feedback, and clear instructions. Some faculty work to improve the aesthetics of the classroom, making the space more comfortable. We teach to a variety of learning styles, and make course materials available through MySolano or Solanonline.org. 3
4 Obj. 1.2 Create an environment that supports quality teaching. While the College as a whole sets the tone for objective 1.2, our faculty does try to utilize resources the college provides to support quality teaching. For example, we utilize Perkins funding for staff development and instructional materials. We utilize technological resources such as Solanonline and MySolano and student services such as Disabled Student Services, library reference and counseling resources (such as walk-over mental health counseling for students). Obj. 1.3 Optimize student performance on Institutional Core Competencies The faculty conducts SLO assessments in order to determine where changes and/or improvements are needed in course content or teaching methodology. Goal 2: Maximize Student Access & Success Obj. 2.1 Identify and provide appropriate support for underprepared students Obj. 2.2 Update and strengthen career/technical curricula Obj. 2.3 Identify and provide appropriate support for transfer students Obj. 2.4 Improve student access to college facilities and services to students Obj. 2.5 Develop and implement an effective Enrollment Management Plan Program Evidence Our faculty regularly assesses students learning needs and makes the appropriate referrals to departments such as DSP or counseling. The members of the faculty make themselves available to discuss strategies to help students be successful and reach their goals. The faculty is regularly updating their material in order to stay current in their respective fields. Law enforcement and corrections are subject to changes in case law and various state and federal legal statutes As a department, we are required per SB 1440 to have a TCM in place in This will be completed Spring Faculty also advises students as to which colleges and universities in the area accept our CJ courses and how many courses different colleges will accept because the number is not consistent among the various colleges. We announce and post workshops, and try to offer classes at a variety of times to meet our nontraditional student needs. In consultation with the Dean, we have begun implementing an enrollment management plan for course scheduling that utilizes the past three-year s fill rates, FTES and other efficiency figures. This plan is student-centered and it enables us to schedule courses more efficiently taking into account program awareness and the important part that the two centers have in course planning. 4
5 Goal 3: Strengthen Community Connections Obj. 3.1 Respond to community needs Obj. 3.2 Expand ties to the community Goal 4: Optimize Resources Obj. 4.1 Develop and manage resources to support institutional effectiveness Obj. 4.2 Maximize organization efficiency and effectiveness Obj. 4.3 Maintain up-to-date technology to support the curriculum and business functions. Program evidence One of our department s strengths is its responsiveness to the community. We hold regular advisory meetings and try respond to what local law enforcement and corrections agencies request. With the recent economic depression, various law enforcement and corrections based agencies were requesting volunteer help in the form of our extensive intern program. We have responded to the request for more interns by expanding the number of agencies where interns can be placed. The interns provide an important function and allow other sworn and non-sworn agency personnel to concentrate on other important duties. The program helps expand ties to the community by placing interns in more agencies. We also have a new community relationship that several faculty are involved with and cultivating. Faculty sits on the POST advisory board for the new Fairfield-Suisun School District Public Safety Academy. We have also made it mandatory that the new SCC police aides spend three to four hours mentoring students at the PSA as part of their required volunteer hours. In addition, the principal of the PSA has specifically requested a SCC Criminal Justice faculty member teach the CJ-01(introduction to CJ) articulation class that will be offered at the PSA in the near future. Individual faculty also participate in various outreach opportunities in the community and on the campus. Program Evidence Utilize Perkins funding to meet student needs In order to maximize department efficiency and effectiveness, we have begun planning semester course offerings based on historical data, i.e. fill rates and FTES. We are also exploring developing a semester-by-semester curriculum that would offer the same courses in a sequence so students could follow a designated and identifiable course pattern. We are cognizant of the need to maintain current technology in the classroom. We now have two smart computers in one classroom and utilize I-pads in the criminal investigations course. Most of the new technology that we are exploring is applicable to the criminal investigations course. As the planning for a forensics lab moves forward, we will have to explore various types of new technology. 5
6 1.3 Enrollment Enrollment in the Criminal Justice Department is healthy, yet has declined slightly in recent years. We believe this trend, similar to the college as a whole, is due to several factors: 1. We were asked by administration to cut sections in recent years 2. Solano College administrators cancelled summer classes during 2012 causing students to turn to other institutions for their educational goals. 3. The cost of tuition has increased from $36 a unit to $46 a unit in 2012, making tuition less affordable. 4. The recession hit Solano County particularly hard, which we believe impacted student s ability to attend school. The high cost of textbooks, transportation to campus, etc. likely brought down enrollment. Number of sections offered Number of students enrolled FTE WSCH 6
7 1.4 Population Served The population served in CJ courses is predominately male but only by a slight margin. Ethnic representation for CJ classes is listed in the table below. Demographics were not analyzed in the previous program review, so there is no comparative data, yet when comparing ethnicity demographics to the college as a whole our numbers are fairly similar except Black and Hispanic students. One reason for the predominance of males in the program is that historically law enforcement and corrections have been, and still are, a male dominated career. Women are very underrepresented in both careers but have made great strides in the last 25 years. All minority groups are very underrepresented in both career fields but great strides have also been made in the last 25 years. Percentage range of students by ethnicity CJ courses % Solano College % White White Black Black Hispanic 18-8 Hispanic Asian 8-16 Asian Native American 2 Native American.5-1 Other 14-8 Other Students in the criminal justice program are representative of the traditional college students. The largest age group is the year old. We attribute this to the fact that most of our students are not in a career field yet and are matriculating in order to obtain a career in a law enforcement, corrections or a related field. Some students will take courses in order to transfer and pursue a Criminal Justice degree at a college or university. Percentage range of students by age CJ courses % Less than Between Between Over
8 % Enrollment by age % Enrollment by ethnicity 1.5 Status of Progress toward Goals and Recommendations Table 2. Educational Master Plan Educational Master Plan Goals 1. Create a transfer degree in Criminal Justice in accordance with SB Connect students to support services & resources (financial aid information, information on ESL courses, etc. 3. Continue to recruit well-qualified professors to teach specialized courses in the field. 4. Provide basic Math and English training in conjunction with program courses. 5. Partner with more law enfocement, corrections and court entities to provide more hands-on work experience Status On-going but will be completed Spring 2014 On-going on individual basis and through course announcements. For example, students notified of new drop-in writing lab. Currently recruiting for adjunct hiring: anticipate recruitment of at least four new adjunct CJ professors Students referred to Math/English labs, student success workshops, etc. This is an on-going effort. The CJ-90 & 91 provider agencies have been expanded in the last three years. Students have several more 8
9 opportunities for students. 6. Diversify course delivery methods (online, evenings and weekends. 8. Develop additional articulation agreements with local high schools 9. Development of a matriculation schedule that would enable students to plan a fixed two year schedule of courses 10. Increase use of hands-on and real life experiences integrated into classroom based learning. 11. Assess the need for a formal mentoring program involving students, local law enforcement and corrections personnel. 12. Ensure students are prepared for courses through the use of English assessment. 13. Build media and technological resources to aid student learning. opportunities for internship positions. This effort is on-going. Currently, both certificates(law enforcement & corrections) can be earned completely online. This is an ongoing effort. We currently have an articulation agreement with Napa HS and one articulation class was discontinued at Jesse Bethel HS because the instructor retired. Currently, an articulation agreement has been completed with the Fairfield PSA. Plans are to have an articulation agreement with every high school within all the areas that the college serves This is on-going. Currently, two 30 unit certificates have been developed by professor Nordin that can be obtained completely online. On-going. This is on-going. This was discussed at the most recent advisory group meeting and ideas will be presented at the next meeting. Students assessed as they enter the college. Obtained two smart computers and an I-pad. Also obtained several digital cameras and used Perkins funding to obtain a modern life-like mannequin for the criminal investigations classroom. Table 3. Program Review Recommendations Recommendation 1. Hire several more adjunct professors since the college is increasing sections 2. Develop a mentoring site for CJ students so they can meet with active and retired law enforcement and corrections Status Several hiring announcements were published last year but there were no courses to offer additional adjuncts so new hiring committee was assembled. This is not completed but will be discussed at the next advisory group meeting. 9
10 personnel 3. Provide more storage space for CJ equipment. This has not been accomplished 4. Create a brochure for Criminal Justice This has been completed but the brochure needs to be updated. 5. Continue to explore the idea of a forensics lab at the Vallejo center. This has been discussed for the last two years but nothing else has been done. 6. Add courses at Dixon HS. The college is currently working on an agreement with the Dixon School District for classroom space. 1.6 Future Outlook 1. The CJ department always has a very large census and in order to offer more courses the CJ department will need to hire one or two adjunct instructors. There is a current need for another instructor at the Vallejo center. 2. Various classes have been cancelled very early and this affects numerous students. 3. Recently renovated classrooms in the 800 building are becoming dilapidated and remain dirty throughout the semester. This does not make for a conducive learning environment 4. The academic program that we offer is good preparation for a university or college transfer student and it can help students perform better on certain Learning Domains in the POST Regional Academies. External factors, such as the California budget and retiree trends, are the primary factors affecting the hiring of law enforcement and/or corrections personnel. When there are no extra monies, local and state agencies cannot hire new personnel. When retirees remain on the job longer there are less available positions. Contrary to popular belief, in the vast majority of cases, the information that is provided to students in the CJ program does not lead directly to law enforcement or a corrections related career. None of our certificates or degrees qualifies a student for a sworn law enforcement or corrections career. What we are doing though, is helping students meet the educational requirements that an agency requires to be considered for employment. Those educational requirements vary, i.e., 30 units, 60 units B.S. or B.A. Over 80% of the law enforcement agencies nationwide only require a HS diploma or GED. The hiring of law enforcement and corrections personnel is governed by POST and CDCR. In order to become a sworn law enforcement officer or state corrections officer, the prospective student must attend a POST regional academy or the CDCR academy. A few agencies will hire non-sworn corrections officers and community service officers but these positions are few. In other cases, a student might be able to meet the job requirements for an evidence technician. Some agencies that might hire a student without an academy are: 10

13 2.3 As a result of the program level assessments, we have determined that there is a demonstrated need for more scenario-based learning in several classes such as CJ-51 and CJ-02. We have also found that more case law decisions should be utilized and discussed in order to enhance learning in our CJ-53 class (Aspects of Legal Evidence) Table 5. Program Level Assessments Program Level Outcomes Dates Assessed Results Action Plan 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the American Criminal Justice system and the scope of responsibilities of the various local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies beginning with arrest through parole. Spring 2013 Students have a basic understanding of the CJ system as demonstrated on written exams with a 70% minimum score Utilize more handouts, videos and scenarios regarding the procedures utilized when an individual enters the criminal justice system and the processes that occur at each component of the system 2. Articulate the system's objectives, the crime problem, and role expectations of criminal justice personnel, and describe the various agencies and each subsystem within the system. Spring 2013 Students have a basic understanding of CJ system as demonstrated on written exams with a 70% minimum score 13

Spring 2013 Students have a basic understanding of CJ system as demonstrated on written exams with a 70% minimum score Complete the victimology course and incorporate more handouts focusing on communication skills. Involve students in more ethics-related scenarios. 4. Analyze legal concepts and make rational decisions about case processing. Demonstrate knowledge of the rules of evidence, legal definitions, and concepts of evidentiary law. Apply basic investigative proficiencies. Demonstrate knowledge of the rules of evidence, legal definitions, and concepts of evidentiary law. Spring 2013 Students have a basic understanding of CJ system as demonstrated on written exams and investigative scenarios with a 70% minimum score Incorporate more field exercises and handouts to enhance investigative skills and more case law examples Student Learning Outcomes 2.4 Many SLO s were updated before and during this program review cycle. One of the problems we experienced was getting courses assessed by adjunct faculty, understanding which forms to use and where to input data. The faculty has not begun discussions in regards to a standardized measurement tool across the different sections. 2.5 In terms of scheduling, our department plans to follow the guidelines of completing even numbered courses in the fall and odd numbered courses in the spring. 14
15 2.6 Currently, all of our SLO s are up to date. In the future, the faculty will be having discussions in regards to how we are measuring the SLO s and how to find greater consistency across sections. 2.7 The goal of every faculty member completing SLO s every year is new to the institution. We need to make sure adjuncts know this expectation and have support if needed. We would like to have more discussions about standardizing some assessment tools and then we would like to make a reference tool that list SLO s and the common assessment measures to be used. We would also like to have the forms used to assess the SLO s remain current and not change every year. 2.8 Based on analysis of our SLO s, a few changes have been made to curriculum and means of assessments. Use of notes for an exam that covered a very large body of information Dividing a very large exam into two exams given on different class days Complete rewriting of several exams based on an analysis of questions that were incorrect for a large percentage of students. More power points added to my course so students would have material to enhance their lecture information Adding more scenario-based learning opportunities in several classes 2.9 Course offerings Curricular offerings Criminal Justice, Corrections REQUIRED COURSES CJ 001 Introduction to Criminal Justice CJ 002 Concepts of Criminal Law CJ 011 Community Relations CJ 051 Criminal Investigation CJ 052 Investigative Report Writing CJ 053 Legal Aspects of Evidence CJ 058 Fundamentals of Crime and Delinquency CJ 059 Interviewing and Counseling Select six units from the elective list below Total Units Select six (6) units from the following Units CJ 057 Criminal Justice Career Development CJ 060 Probation and Parole CJ 062 Legal Aspects of Correction CJ 091 Vocational Work Experience Corrections
16 Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement Units CJ 001 Introduction to Criminal Justice CJ 002 Concepts of Criminal Law CJ 011 Community Relations CJ 051 Criminal Investigation CJ 052 Investigative Report Writing CJ 053 Legal Aspects of Evidence CJ 058 Fundamentals of Crime and Delinquency CJ 059 Interviewing and Counseling Select six units from the elective list below Total Units Select six (6) units from the following Units CJ 055 Traffic Control CJ 056 Juvenile Procedures CJ 057 Criminal Justice Career Development CJ 064 Principles and Procedures of the Criminal Justice System CJ 090 Vocational Work Experience - Law Enforcement Since the last program review cycle, several changes have been implemented in the curriculum. CJ-50, CJ-55, CJ-54 and CJ-61 have been deleted from the course offerings. The rational for these deletions was varied. CJ-54 & 55 were deleted because the course content is taught in the POST Basic Academy and too job-specific for a community college class. CJ-50 course content was almost indistinguishable from CJ-64 and therefore redundant. CJ-61 had not reached the minimum census in several years and the outlook was no different for future years. We offer a variety of courses at the Vallejo and Vacaville centers. The Vacaville center offers the majority of courses. Within the last year, the census at the Vallejo center has experienced a decrease. We have not determined why that is occurring. We would like to offer more courses at both centers but that depends on whether we have the adjunct professors available to teach the courses Instructional Quality High quality instruction is one of our greatest strengths. The faculty is either retired or currently working in the fields of law enforcement or corrections. The average time spent in their respective careers is 25 years. Different strategies are utilized in the classroom and we can draw from the local agencies for classroom speakers with various expertise. The faculty remains current in their field and use current and standardized textbooks. Many of the faculty use the same textbook for certain sections. Many of our classes have too large a maximum enrollment and this becomes a problem in many cases. Our classes average 50 student maximums. We do not have a class that is below a 30 student maximum. This can and does present problems with workload for the faculty, ample room for students and the ability to become more familiar with students. It also hampers the ability for one-on-one help to students. There needs to be serious discussion involving the class maximums. 16
17 2.11 Teaching Methodologies The CJ faculty utilizes a variety of teaching methodologies. Lecture, power point, videos, scenarios, field trips and guest speakers are all used by different faculty. Field trips are taken to various entities such as California State Prison Vacaville and Solano County Juvenile Hall as well San Quentin State prison. In a few classes, students are required to interview members of law enforcement, corrections, or the courts. The CJ internship program is probably the most effective way that learning is extended into the community. Interns are placed in a variety of agencies and provide extra help to that agency and the student gains valuable experience Fill rates/class size Most of our classes fill well and there is very little fluctuation in the FTES. From 2008 until 2012 we had an average enrollment figure of and our fill rate was Our law enforcement courses generally fill better than our corrections courses. I am not sure why that is happening, but when students are polled, more of them indicate a desire to obtain a law enforcement career. The average size of our classes is a problem in some courses. Most of our courses are 50 student maximums. This presents a problem in reaching the 60% minimum in a few classes. We also have a large and robust online offering and this has an impact on the fill rate on occasion, especially when the enrollment for the online course exceeds the maximum. When this happens, we have probably not filled a seat in class that might have been filled. Several courses require more work and time by the faculty member. CJ-51 (criminal investigations) and CJ-52 (report writing) should not exceed 25 students. There should be discussions in regards to class maximums and those discussions should be in regards to courses that are more labor intensive for the faculty and the courses that currently have 50 student maximums Course sequencing Our courses have not been sequenced for student progression and we do not have any prerequisites. Course sequencing is something that has been discussed and will be discussed more in the future. It is something that the department would like to have in place Basic Skills (if applicable) Our program does not offer basic skills courses 2.15 Student Survey We did not have a student survey developed. This is something that will be developed and administered before the next program review cycle Four-year articulation (if applicable) We have several courses that articulate to four-year institutions. The UC system accepts CJ-01 as a general education requirement. The CSU system varies in what is able to be articulated. Locally, CSEB, CSUS, Sonoma State and SF State all articulate our courses but each entity articulates different courses. Currently we articulate CJ-01, CJ-02, CJ11, CJ-51 and CJ-53. There are no plans for more articulation courses. 17
18 2.17 High school articulation (if applicable) We currently have articulation agreements with two area high schools: Napa HS and The Fairfield-Suisun School District Public Safety Academy. We previously had an articulation agreement with Jesse Bethel HS but the teacher for that class retired and was not replaced. We have had discussions with Berta Lloyd and it is agreed that we would like to have articulation agreements with every high school in the college s service area. The department always makes an effort to participate in local career days at area high schools and we participate in career days on campus Distance Education (if applicable) Our Criminal Justice Department has been offering online courses since spring 2000 we have developed 12 online courses. We offer the following courses: CJ 01 Introduction to Criminal Justice CJ 02 Criminal Law CJ 11 Community Relations CJ 51 Criminal Investigations CJ 52 Investigative Report Writing CJ 53 Legal Aspects of Evidence CJ 56 Juvenile Procedures CJ 58 Fundamentals of Crime and Delinquency CJ 59 Interviewing and Counseling CJ 60 Probation and Parole CJ 62 Legal Aspects of Corrections CJ 64 Principles and Procedures of the Criminal Justice System The Criminal Justice online classes started in spring of 2000 with the offering of one class and that class filled immediately. Since that semester and, except for the summer of 2012 when summer school was not offered, all online classes have made and filled with multiple add codes being asked for and granted. Our online courses have been in high demand from populations of students who are not able or willing to come to face-to-face campus classes. Our Criminal Justice online classes service students in the military, homebound students and students from the Law Enforcement and Corrections community. By offering all but two of the classes online for our certificates in Law Enforcement and Corrections, we have been able to 18
19 help students successfully fulfill over 90% of their required coursework from the comfort of their own virtual environment. Since all the required courses are all in the online modality and two electives are also in this format, there are no plans for expansion until some new electives are added that lend themselves to the online format. All online courses have adapted the assignments and materials as well as the testing and Student Learning Outcomes of the face-to-face classes and online office hours are offered to make sure that the online student has the same excellent educational experience as the campus bound student. In many cases the online student, through evaluation surveys, has expressed that the online class is more rigorous than some face-to-face classes due to the nature of how online students are required to respond and address every assignment on a weekly basis Advisory Boards/Licensing (CTE) Recently, the curriculum has been not influenced by advisory committee recommendations. Advisory meetings were not held regularly for several years due to lack of interest by agencies and difficulty in finding board members. The advisory board has been reconstituted and will meet once a semester. Solano Community College Criminal Justice Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes April 1, 2013 Present: Room 902 Michael Goodwin, SCC CJ Professor/Coordinator; Sgt. Mary Bustamante, Contra Costa Sheriff s Dept.; Special Agent Kevin Kolbe, CA. Department of Justice; Officer Michelle Snyder, Fairfield Police Dept. Absent: Next meeting: Correctional Officer John McNitt, CDCR; Professor Sarah Nordin, SCC CJ Department TBD 1. Announcements Introduction of new members 19
20 2. Discussion Items: a) Explanation of the new program review process b) Discussion in regards to the proposed crime lab for the Vallejo center c) Explanation and discussion regarding the TCM (transfer curriculum model) d) Explanation of the high school articulation process. e) Preview and discussion concerning the current CJ curriculum f) Discussion concerning future course development g) Discussion concerning the Fairfield-Suisun School District Public Safety Academy 3. Roundtable a) Mike Goodwin, SCC professor and CJ program coordinator, gave the committee a preview of the new program review process that the CJ department is currently involved with. Professor Goodwin also explained the ongoing SLO and assessment process. b) Professor Goodwin informed the committee about the proposed crime lab for the Vallejo center. Sarah Nordin is the lead professor for the proposal and she would like to model the lab based upon the crime lab facility located at Grossmont College. So far, she has received support for the lab from several key members of the college. Professor Goodwin asked the committee members to contact SME s at their respective departments who would be interested in becoming members of a future forensics advisory committee and send their contact information to him. c) There was a short discussion concerning the TCM that professor Nordin is currently completing. All the committee members viewed the TCM as a very positive move for transfer CJ students. d) Professor Goodwin explained the high school articulation process to the committee members. Most of them did not know that SCC had articulation agreements and they did not understand how those agreements worked. The members agreed that SCC should seek articulation agreements with every high school in Solano County and parts of Yolo County. The committee was informed that SCC has a fulltime person who is actively working to expand the articulation agreements e) Professor Goodwin gave each member of the committee several handouts that outlined the current curriculum offerings of the CJ department. He indicated which courses were eliminated within the last 18 months. Officer Snyder told the 20
21 committee that she believed that emphasis should be put on courses CJ-57 (career development) and CJ90/91 (internship). She told the committee how valuable those two courses were to her when she was trying to decide which direction to take in a career. Officer Snyder also told the committee that she believes CJ 90/91 should include an extensive ride-along component with various law enforcement agencies - especially for students contemplating a career with a municipal or county law enforcement agency. Officer Snyder also told the members that SCC s CJ Department prepared her to do well in several subjects (LD s) at the Napa Regional POST Basic Academy she attended. Officer Snyder obtained an AS degree at SCC recently. The other members of the committee agreed. Each active law enforcement member also said that they would seek to identify any deficiencies in training of new recruits or officers that could be addressed in our curriculum. f) In addition, there was discussion concerning any topic that the members thought should be added to the curriculum and, several suggestions were made: Victimology professor Goodwin told the members that a victimology course was currently working its way through the SCC s new curriculum process Terrorism/Homeland security adjunct professor Kevin Kolbe told the committee that he is willing to begin work on a course covering those topics. g) Professor Goodwin provided the members with information regarding the new Public Safety Academy. He told the members that he the academy s POST advisory committee and, in that capacity, has been able to interact with students. He expressed how impressed he was with the students and he explained what the school s focus was: preparing students to be productive citizens who would be able to successfully complete the strenuous California application process to become a law enforcement or corrections officer if either of those was a career choice. The committee members expressed a desire to work more closely with the academy in their individual capacities and to support them with resources from their respective agencies, if possible. The meeting was adjourned at Criminal Justice Advisory Board members: Sergeant Mary Bustamante, Contra Costa Sheriff s Department
22 Special Agent Kevin Kolbe, CA. Department of Justice Sergeant John McNitt, CDCR Officer Michelle Snyder, Fairfield PD Professor Sarah Nordin, Solano Community College Sgt. Michael Goodwin (Ret.), Solano Community College , ext.: 4703 STUDENT EQUITY & SUCCESS 3.1 Course Completion and Retention. Student success is promoted through quality instruction designed to teach to a variety of learning styles. It is promoted through in-class activities and out of class assignments designed to link theory to practice and engage students in the learning process. Students are encouraged to conduct research in the library and referred to DSP services as appropriate. We work closely with community members through advisory meetings and in class with guest speakers, field trips, etc. Students are notified of workshops and job current job opportunities in law enforcement and corrections. Between fall 2009 and fall 2012, success rates in criminal justice courses varied between 66-63%, while White males tended to be more successful than females In terms of ethnicity, success was highest among White and Asian students followed by Africa-American students. For age, success rates were highest for students between years of age but were lowest for those 55 years and above. Statistically, there seems to be a noticeable spike in drops before the classes begin. After speaking to several students, the trend seems to have increased when more class sections were being cancelled by the college. Anecdotally, it appears that students are signing up for every class they can as soon as they are able to register and then filtering out the classes they don t actually want to take. We offer day and night classes on all the campuses. The night classes normally have a lower census compared to day classes. For the last two years, we have been experiencing a problem meeting the minimum census for several night courses at the Vacaville center. We do not have a good explanation for this trend and this is a topic for future discussion. There is a very small overall variation in the success rate of lecture versus on-line methodology. Based on the information available, it was determined that the success rate for lecture versus on-line was 68.6% - 67%. There was a wide variation in certain courses though, and we do not have a definitive answer to explain those variations, i.e., CJ % % and C-52 60% - 78%. One of the explanations might be that the course content in the on-line course is too easy or the lecture content for the course is too difficult. 22
23 3.2 Degrees/Certificates Award 23
24 24
25 The award of degrees and certificates has remained constant since 2008: per year for corrections and for law enforcement. Certificates average slightly more than degrees. When analyzing degree and certificate recipients by gender, it is very clear that women obtain more degrees and more certificates than males. What is interesting about this fact is that women obtain positions in law enforcement or corrections at a much lower rate than men. What might be contributing to this trend is that men may be delaying their education to enter law enforcement or corrections more often and earlier than women. Where ethnicity is concerned, White students are obtaining degrees and certificates at a higher rate than all other 25

HARRIET TUBMAN AND THE COMBAHEE RIVER RAID EXHIBIT Mondays through Fridays 10 am – 5 pm, April 3 – June 27th | Beaufort District Collection

The exhibit is a collaboration of Brockington & Associates, SC Department of Transportation, US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, Beaufort County Engineering & Infrastructure, Beaufort County Planning Department and the Beaufort County Library.
Monday, June 9th: Dr. Eric Poplin, lead archaeologist of Brockington & Associates, talks about the history and archaeology of the Combahee Ferry Historic District. Free. Open to anyone over age 12 interested in attending. Co-sponsored by the Beaufort Chapter, Archaeological Society of South Carolina. Program begins at 6 pm in the Children's Programming Room of Beaufort Branch Library.

If you take a look at places across the four corners of America, they all look the same: Charlottesville could be Salinas, and Minot could be Mesquite.
"You literally can't tell from the landscape where you are," says Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Moe believes the country is going bland. From sea to shining sea, a flood of look-alike, taste-alike, feel-alike strips water down regional flavor and wash away local color.
"I think there are cultural and regional differences that are worth retaining because we are a very diverse nation," Moe says.
That's what a group of activists in Vermont thought. A computer re-creation shows what the outskirts of Burlington looked like in the '30s and what it looks like today. And farther out where once there were only farms, you can barely see a silo beyond the big new stores.
"We think we didn't do very well on this particular battle," says Dana Farley of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl.
Farley's group fought to preserve the farmland there and obviously lost. "It doesn't feel as much like Vermont. It feels like anywhere. But it also feels like nowhere," Farley says.
Of course all these places are here for a reason. People fill these places regardless of where they are. Sameness sells, and sometimes that means selling off the character of a region.
"The marketplace has made some demands about 'I want convenience. I want consistency,' and that's the price we pay for it," says Don DeBolt of the International Franchise Association. His organization doesn't worry a lot about spreading similarity.
"I think most of us, you know, for parts of our life want things pretty dependable, pretty predictable," DeBolt says.
But on Bainbridge Island just a ferry ride from Seattle, things look a little different.
"It doesn't look like any other place in the world. It looks like Bainbridge," says resident Wendy Johnson.
It's been a fight to keep it that way. When McDonalds came there, the town rose up and passed strict laws that kept out most fast-food places and chain stores. And Bainbridge Island is prospering.
"It's a matter of being vested, of being part of a community. It's the difference between having commerce and being part of a community," Johnson says.
In local elections around the country, towns are fighting the same battle as Bainbridge. In Maine, in Virginia or in Miami, it can be hard to have a sense of place when every place looks like anyplace and no place looks special.
For more information about issues of concern for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, go to its Web site.
To learn more about th current agenda of the International Franchise Association, explore its Web site.

Gloriana presents Hurricane Smith!Name: Gloriana presents Hurricane Smith!Date: November 11, 2017Time: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM PSTWebsite: http://www.gloriana.orgEvent Description:Gloriana Musical Theatre is pleased to announce its Young Performers production of Hurricane Smith! Directed by Andrew Atkinson and David Kosonen.
The setting is the stage of a school auditorium where a schlock film director is wrapping up his latest epic, 'Monster On Campus.' Enter Gloria Daily, fresh from her creative writing class, with an Indiana Jones-like script under her arm. Trailing behind her are members of the drama club who intend to 'act out' the wild plot for the disagreeable film director. And what a plot! It concerns Hurricane Smith, famous explorer, whose mother was eaten by crocodiles and whose father disappeared in the Amazon jungles on a search for the fabled 'Garden of the Golden Monkey.' Parentless, Hurricane is raised by a gorilla. Twenty years later a mysterious foreigner delivers a 'Golden Monkey' to Hurricane, and the young adventurer sets out accompanied by the feisty, independent photojournalist Linda Zest, to locate the Garden, and he has to survive cannibal Cobra Natives, headhunters, the hilly range, and the Pit of No Return to do so.
The show will be performed at Eagles Hall Theatre from November 3 to November 12 with performances at 7:30 p.m on Fridays and Saturdays and Sunday matinees beginning at 3 p.m.
Admission is $18 for the general public, $16 for Seniors and $8 for youth (17 and under).
Tickets may be purchased online at gloriana.org, at Harvest Market in Fort Bragg or at the door of Eagles Hall Theatre prior to each performance. Advanced tickets available at gloriana.org.
Be sure to join us for our Gala performance! On Sunday, November 5th following the performance celebrate with the cast and crew and enjoy yummy food, drink, dessert and more! Tickets are $22 for general, $20 for Seniors and $12 for youth (17 and under).

Safe In The Short Term
Breaking news: MCV reports that GAME have negotiated a new deal with their lending syndicate that should secure their financial position in the short term. GAME have promised to "operate within lower limits of its existing facilities than was previously available," while coming up with a new long-term strategy that will include input from their lenders.
This newfound security should also allow them to meet this year's covenant tests without incident. GAME are expecting an £18m for the next year before tax, which is actually better than what many analysts were expecting. It will be interesting to see whether the new strategic plan includes new cuts to their overseas operations as rumoured earlier today.
The short version? GAME is here to stay - for now - and we hope that the chain will evolve to meet the changing demands of the games market. We're convinced that there's still a place for traditional retail, not to mention its thousands of employees. The situation mirrors that of HMV last month, and it seems that bankers are still willing to back the high street despite a seriously rough downturn in boxed game sales.

The Tiger of Teaching:
The Inspiring Instruction of Frank Pajares
by Gio Valiante 01G
"Lee Iacocca once observed how in a completely rational society only "the best of us could be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else." In such a society, teachers would grace the covers of magazines, set trends, become rich and famous, and be treated as royalty. In our modern world, however, that pedestal is reserved for movie stars or athletes such as Tiger Woods, whom Golf Digest recently described as "an athlete so accomplished that he has become the world's leading exemplar of excellence." With that label, it seems that everyone who becomes the acknowledged master of a field becomes the Tiger Woods of that field.
My life after Emory has situated me squarely in the world of professional golf and, consequently, I may well be the only man alive to have insider knowledge of the impressive talents of both Tiger Woods and Professor Frank Pajares. They share a great deal of common ground: a deep passion for what they do, a powerful dedication to their craft, an ability to adapt their methods to use the latest tools of their respective trades. And they both have an enormous capacity to care for others, a capacity that manifests itself in their dedication to making the world a better place for children (Pajares through his work in education, Tiger through the Tiger Woods Foundation). In Iacocca's universe, with education and entertainment in reversed positions on the cultural spectrum, Tiger Woods would be known as the Frank Pajares of golf.
In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle wrote that "we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit." I was there when he deepened his interest in the works of William James and incorporated them into his teaching, and when he wrote his first chapter on William James. He is now one of the world's foremost experts and houses the authoritative website for everything William James. I watched him take an interest as the Internet emerged, mastering first HTML, then Java. His website has now won numerous awards. He can converse in detail about topics as broad as NFL Football, the history of Italian cinema, the times he acted with Mickey Rooney and dined with Italo Calvino, the international school he owned and sold. Professor Pajares doesn't merely preach excellence, he embodies it every day. He doesn't demand respect, he earns it. He is, in every sense, a modern Renaissance man.
One Saturday morning during the fall term of my second year as a PhD student, I was writing one of my qualifying papers and brought it in to the office to work on. "Dr. P" was in the office deeply immersed in a project of his own. I stopped in to see him at 9 a.m. and asked if he would have a quick look. He spent twenty minutes on the first sentence identifying strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for improvement. He then took me, over the course of several hours, sentence by sentence through the entire paper. He gave up his entire morning teaching me. I returned home energized and eager to exercise my newly acquired skills. I learned more about writing that morning than I had in the previous twenty-seven years of my life.
During my time at Emory, Dr. P. began the first week of every class with the fable of a village priest who arrives home after evening prayers, realizes that he has lost his house keys, and sets about looking for them in the wrong place simply because there is more light there. The fable is metaphorical, but the message is clear: before anything else, Dr. P wants to send his students the message that education is for enlightenment; that the pursuit of truth is about looking for things where they are rather than where we wish them to be.
I am now an associate professor of educational psychology at a university where the motto is fiat lux: let there be light. At the center of our campus lies a tower where every evening a light shines as a beacon and reminder of our pursuit as scholars. That's the way Dr. P's students often think of him, a symbol of teaching perfection whose passion, patience, and dedication are so resplendent as to often feel transcendent.

Prose writing, 1914-1945: American realismAlthough American prose between the wars experimented with viewpoint and form, Americans wrote more realistically, on the whole, than did Europeans. Novelist Ernest Hemingway wrote of war, hunting, and other masculine pursuits in a stripped, plain style; William Faulkner set his powerful southern novels spanning generations and cultures firmly in Mississippi heat and dust; and Sinclair Lewis delineated bourgeois lives with ironic clarity.
The importance of facing reality became a dominant theme in the 1920s and 1930s: Writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and the playwright Eugene O'Neill repeatedly portrayed the tragedy awaiting those who live in flimsy dreams.

The Dnieper River (or Dnipro River) is the largest river in Ukraine and the third largest in Europe (after the Volga River and the Danube River). From the dawn of history the Dnieper has been closely bound up with the life of the Ukrainian people. It is the 'holy river' of Ukraine. Its length is 2,285 km, of which 485 km lie within the Russian Federation, 595 km within Belarus, and 1,095 km within Ukraine. The Dnieper Basin covers 504,000 sq km, of which 289,000 sq km are within Ukraine (48 percent of its area). The basin occupies 42 percent of the territory of the Ukrainian state and 36 percent of Ukrainian ethnic territory.
The Dnieper flows south through the centrw of Ukraine and bisects its natural zones interconnecting them and connecting them with the Black Sea. Travel is easy from the Dnieper Basin to basins northwest of it, the
Vistula River, the Neman River, and the Daugava River—but difficult to other basins, such as the basins of the Dniester River, the Boh River, the Volga River, and the Don River. Easy communications between the Dnieper River, the
Prypiat River, and the Buh River by means of the Vistula facilitated the expansion of Poland into Ukraine. The Dnieper's role as a unifying force and gateway to the sea was, however, weakened by a 70 km stretch of rapids in the steppe belt. In spite of this obstacle, the Dnieper was the main axis of the first Ukrainian state—Kyivan Rus'. The nucleus of a second state,the Zaporozhian
Sich—arose on the Dnieper. The river is the artery of Ukraine, its main highway, and its source of hydroelectric power.
Physical geography. The Dnieper is a typical river of the plains, sloping gently and flowing slowly. The water level varies considerably, and the riverbed is unstable. There are many shallow parts, but relatively few turns. The Dnieper Rapids, which today are submerged, are a peculiar feature of the Dnieper. The river's general southerly flow can be broken up into several sections: from its source to Orsha (Vitsebsk oblast) the Dnieper flows southwest, then south to Kiev, then southeast to Dnipropetrovsk, then south for 90 km as far as Zaporizhia, and finally southwest to the estuary in the . Thus, the Dnieper forms a large open bow to the east, doubling the route from central Ukraine to the Black Sea (to 950 km, although Kiev is only 450 km from the sea in a straight line).
The river can be divided into three sections: the upper Dnieper from the source to Kiev (1,333 km, of which 255 km are within Ukraine); the middle, from Kiev to Zaporizhia (536 km), including the above-mentioned stretch of rapids; and the lower, from Zaporizhia to the sea (331 km).
Luxury Yacht Cruises
Kiev's Dnieper River is truly majestic and the best way to see the river and the history and culture of parts of Kiev is aboard a luxury yacht. Once you board the 37 metre long "floating palace" you will experience VIP service in terms of furniture and fittings, food and service. You can take a glorious cruise for an hour or a day - and if you prefer you can sleep on her in her ultra comfortable cabins rather than in a hotel. On board there are also conference facilities should you require them.
Kiev, located on both the right and the left banks of the Dnieper River, whose width, as it flows through the city, reaches some several hundred meters, currently has seven bridges spanning across the river and a few dozen bridges across the canals and Dnieper tributaries.
Due to the location and the width of the river, the bridges have always been a very attractive and hard to realize option throughout the long history of Kiev. Additionally, several tributaries fall into the Dnieper inside or just north or south of the historic city.
Each ride gives you the perfect view of Kiev from out on the mighty river that flows through the capital city.

Cats Don't Like to Dance
No one's perfect--not even cats. We have snow again. The sky is filled with small, spiteful frozen bits. While I am sympathetic that their life tumbling through the troposphere and back again has been difficult, nonetheless my sympathies lie with the hard working ewes and the folks who tend them. It is not as bad here as down south where buildings have collapsed from the snow with more than 700 pregnant ewes inside or the harrowing sights of farmers digging the sheep out of the snow drifts. A hard working dog found her.
Smoor is how the folks here describe an awkward snow that will not let you alone--in your eyes, and your ears no matter which way you turn your head. If you are someone whose career does not allow for snow days, then you work with smoors and lost lambs and count on your equally hard working dogs to be a smooring, too.
I have the luxury of staying inside and waxing lyrical about those at the lambing. I am writing. It may not seem like it. I have a CD of music from far away in both senses filling the house with warm sound as if to melt the snow--or at least put two fingers up to the smoor.
The music is from Colombia by way of Java City--an oasis in my former workplace. And so I am writing by dancing and remembering. My cats look at me oddly but with the familiarity of long acquaintance. If asked to dance along, they may oblige briefly out of courtesy, but soon they seek the watching shelter of some of their favourite places. They, too, appreciate the luxury of watching the snow from the inside.
