The Work Study Session/Strategic Conversation convened at 7:00 p.m. President Linda Rosenthal welcomed students and noted that because there was "no rank in the room," no introductions would be made.

(I-A) MISSION STATEMENT - Jamie Cavalier and Doyle Burke facilitated the Strategic Conversation on the Mission Statement. The outcome was to discuss and develop a draft Mission Statement. The draft Vision Statement was reviewed. Definition and qualities of a mission statement and alignment of vision and mission were discussed.

General Comments

- Quality?

- Public institutions redundant

- "The" Maricopa Community Colleges

- Draft 4: last sentence defines needs. Unnecessary.

- Prefer the word students

- NCA requirement: "public institutions"

- "Public institution" defensive?

- Community Service broader than "students"

- Continuing education - precludes "basic skills" education?

- Workforce or (Workforce and career--prefer second term)

- Continuing education, community education--deal with cultural resources

- "Diverse" may be divisive. Emphasize "community." "Diverse communities" we serve

- Efficient use of resources--vision or mission statement? See "affordable, accessible.. learning environments"

- Diversity--focus? Communities or educational needs?

- Create or provide? Eliminate both. "The Maricopa Community Colleges continuously improve..."

- "Create" a reflection of the District (innovation)

- Is the list goals or strategies?

- Meet "all" of the educational needs... eliminate "diversity"

- "Workforce development"

" "University?" Strong tie to Arizona universities.

- "Establish" for "provide."

- General/Liberal Arts--difference?

- Liberal arts: university transfer requirements; collegiate track.

- Wider range of options

- Is occupational education implicit in the list?

- List refers to education goals. Student support missing.

- "Student Development services" preferable.

- Eliminate "ands"

- Draft II vote with "the" plus "efficient use of resources." Separate lists as goals. Transfer "resources" from vision.

- Prefer "create." Suggests innovation.

SUGGESTED REVISIONS

- The Maricopa Community Colleges create and continuously improve affordable, accessible, and effective learning environments for the lifelong educational needs of the diverse people of our communities.

Through efficient use of resources, we provide:

University Transfer Education

Workforce and Career Preparation

General and Liberal Arts Education

Basic Skills Education

Student Support Services

Continuing Education and Community Education

- The Maricopa Community Colleges, through the efficient use of resources, seek to firmly establish and continuously improve affordable, accessible, and effective learning environments for the lifelong educational needs of the diverse people of the communities we serve.

The colleges fulfill their mission through:

University Transfer Education

Workforce and Career Preparation

General and Liberal Arts Education

Basic Skills Education

Student Support Services

Continuing Education and Community Education

The audience was divided into groups and asked to examine the current District goals. Following are the small group reports.

Group One

- 1. The 5/6 points listed with the mission statement reflects the goals listed on the handout should eliminate these points from the mission statement.

2. The 5/6 points become goals/purposes. Revise and/or elaborate as needed.

Group Two

- 4th Goal--employ vs hire; in title--quality vs best

- 2nd title--for all students

- 7th title--develop vs promote

- Not dealt with in any goal-diverse learning styles and testing styles and assessment

- 5th title--assess vs track

- 8th title--participate actively in vs emphasize support for

Group Three

- Faculty--mention "part-time;" locate, solicit, utilize, best available resources from the community as part-time educators

Group Four

- Keep #1 (rewrite); #2 (rewrite); #7

- Eliminate #3; #4; #5 (NCA); #6; #8 (don't need to increase)

Group Five

- Question if should link to vision or link to mission?

Goals Fit? (to mission)

1 Yes

2 Yes to mission

3 No (Sounds like a political statement-rework)

4 No (Is an objective; a tool) rework--focus on effective instructional environment....

5 No rework-too specific

6 No

7 Yes

8 ?

Group Six

- 1. Essential skills and knowledge, function in changing world

- Remains relevant

- Cover "the list" in draft mission

- replace "function" with "adapt to" or "succeed"

- expand "curricula" to include "the learning environment" and possibly in paragraph below

- comment-only one goal directly related to education? broader? "essential" too limited; sounds limited to the basics only-sounds high school-not personal growth and expansion of the mind

2. Increase access and success-"at risk" student; focuses on at- risk only and interaction with K-12

- need reference to diverse communities and their needs--define all students at risk--not just remedial

- remove "their needs" from at-risk

Group Seven

- GOALS

1. Provide highest quality or curricula all instruction to further the mission of university transfer, work force development, etc.

2. Provide for the best quality student development services to enhance student success.

3. Provide for a sound fiscal base through sound financial planning and management.

4. Support faculty and staff development for professional competencies and currency in a changing world.

5. Demonstrate accountability in meeting the needs of our diverse community.

(I-B)STRATEGIC CONVERSATION TOPICS -
Doyle Burke and Jamie Cavalier facilitated the Strategic Conversation on Strategic Conversation Topics. The outcome for the Conversation was to discuss a draft Strategic Conversation Topic Schedule for 1994-95. Discussion of the draft list of suggested topics was held.

General Comments

- Begin with values

- Review Carver model first

Leave Carver in November

- Learning Organization is generic concept that might lead into discussions so maybe should be earlier

- April--do we have Quality yardsticks--we need to develop assessment measures

- Diversity moved to January

- Student Academic Achievement needs to be added to list. This is a very broad topic and is our re-identifying ourselves.

- Financial planning concept should be earlier than May and then could be continually addressed through the other topics.

- The reason financial planning is later in year is because financial planning should be based on learning.

- These strategic conversations are that and not tactical conversations.

- Where do the tactical conversations take place?

- Diversity should be broadened to disability etc.

The audience was divided into small groups and asked to add a question to each month's draft issue.
