The course schedule is continuously monitored and adjusted to meet AUO #1 and #2.  Dialogue occurs at department levels and deans/directors level to address AUO #3 and #4.  The Vice President for Instruction works with Economic Workforce Development to identify and meet industry and community needs.  SLOs are monitored at the VP and Dean/Director level.  The VP plays an important role in the Program Review process in reading the Self Study and Validation Reports and participating in the Validation Team meeting.  The Office of Instruction is central to approving curriculum, course scheduling, monitoring faculty load and producing contracats, and awarding and recording certificates. 


For 2017-18, the Office of Instruction will again request additional funds to increase the amount of money we offer to support relevant and meaningful professional development.  This was not funded last year.  The Professional Development Instructional Coordinator reports to the VP of Instruction.

Requested Non-Financial Resources

        

            
Investigate a District-wide facilities/room scheduling tool whether within Colleague or an external application that works with Colleague.


Instruction and FTES generation should be priority for facilities use decisions. 


Revisit "efficient" schedule to actually reflect efficiency or eliminate to open opportunities for students and course scheduling.


Support for Guided Pathways from all areas of the College.

            
        

    


        
Current Financial Resources

        

            
The Instructional area receives several grants for many of its programs and instructional departments. Perkins Title I-C brings in over half a million dollars for vocational programs. Basic Skills Initiative and Innovation Award grants help with Student Success initiatives. There are many grants that assist us in increasing access to Nursing students and recently a grant was received to hire an additional Welding instructor for two years to help with student success.  Recently the Strong Workforce grant has been able to fund many CTE program needs.  A variety of grants, many funded through Chancellor's Office, also support Career and Technical Education as well as Economic and Workforce Development.  Most recently Butte College has been allocated $400,000+ to implement Guided Pathways.  A great deal of human resources have been dedicated to getting underway with pathways for our students and Butte is recognized as a leader in this work.  Employees attend many workshops related to Guided Pathways.

                            The college match of $50,000 to add to funds allocated by the Chancellor's Office for associate faculty office hours has allowed for payment of more office hours each semester, which compensates faculty for a portion of the time they spend with students outside the classroom.  It has been a big boost to morale with faculty feeling like they are being recognized for the extra work they do.

                            New Full-time Faculty - Cost TBD
                            Every start of Fall semester, the President's Leadership Team (PLT) reviews the full-time obligation number and in consultation with Planning and Budget Committee determines the number of new full-time instructor hires for the next academic year.  Department chairs nominate possible positions to fill, documenting the need through student learning outcomes, data, program review, and unit planning.  Deans and Directors in consultation with the Chief Instructional Officer and Chief Student Services Officer then determine priority of hires which is reviewed and approved by the PLT.
