2 INSTRUCTIONAL COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM PLANNING AND REVIEW (CPPR) Program: Family Studies/ Human Services Planning Year: Last Year CPPR Completed: Unit: Human Development Cluster: Workforce and Economic Development I. GENERAL INFORMATION AND PROGRAM OUTCOMES A. General Description of the Family Studies/Human Services Program: The Family Studies/Human Services Department offers an interdisciplinary degree concentrating in psycho-social development across the life span, emphasizing personal identity and the family system. The degree is designed to benefit the student who wishes to pursue a career in the social and behavioral sciences field, such as social work, clinical psychology and crisis management; as well as benefit the student seeking to acquire a deeper understanding of human development and adjustment. Additionally, the Family Studies/Human Services Department offers an Addiction Studies Certification of Specialization designed to prepare students to serve as professionals in the growing career field of chemical and behavioral addiction counseling. Cuesta College is an accredited California Association for Alcohol/Drug Educators (CAADE) program. This credential will help students obtain jobs in social service agencies, treatment programs, recovery homes, schools, DEA, and law enforcement. Lastly, the Family Studies/Human Services course offerings prepare students for transfer to institutions providing higher degrees in the social and behavioral sciences. Program Mission: Endow students with the knowledge, skills and ethics to become paraprofessionals in the fields of addiction counseling, social work and mental health services. Prepare students for transfer to a four-year institution with concentrations in relevant majors such as Human Development/Psychology, Social Welfare, Women s Studies, Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies, Community Health, and Addiction Studies. Support and inspire students to engage life with self-determinism and a passion for learning as well as to integrate compassion, cultural sensitivity and social justice activism into their personal and professional lives. Provide professional development opportunities for professionals in the field, and implement and maintain the California Association of Alcohol and Drug Educators (CAADE) accredited program, allowing students to pursue state certification in addiction counseling.

3 History of the program: Cuesta College began teaching courses in Family Studies/Human Services within the Social Science Division beginning in The A.A. Family Studies degree was approved by the Chancellor s office during the 1968 academic year. Considered a Social and Behavioral Science, Family Studies/Human Services is an interdisciplinary program concentrating in psycho-social lifespan development and the institution of the family. As such, gender, ethnicity, and intimacy dynamics are core topics embedded within the curricula. Additionally, critical thinking and personal growth are also emphasized. The application of theory and the acquisition of skills used in social and mental health services distinguish the program from the Cuesta College s Psychology Department. While many of our students go on to study psychology, social work, criminal justice, sociology or education at four-year colleges, other students pursue our vocational track. The Addiction Studies program had seen immediate initial success. Interest after the Fall 2009 semester has waned. If the addiction studies program is to survive a larger commitment from the college is necessary. Now that the college is off of sanction we need to develop an AA degree in Addiction Studies. This would certainly help the program s visibility in the community. Since the first group of AS completers in Spring 2010 we have had two more groups earn their Addiction Studies and Addiction Studies Field Work certificate. The Family Studies / Human Services is holding steady after years of growth before the 2009 cuts. FS/HS is certainly feeling the effects of only one full-time faculty. The the only Full-Time faculty member that has consistently been teaching is on sabbatical. We look forward to regaining that once robust FS/HS program. Include significant changes/improvements since the last Program Review Faculty member Bailey Drechsler was awarded a sabbatical for the Academic year. Denae Boggs was hired as a Temporary Full-Time Faculty member for the Spring 2014 semester. Current Full Time and Adjunct Faculty Faculty Biographies Many of the FS/HS faculty members have current or prior employment within the fields of social work, psychology, academia and counseling.

6 B. Program Outcomes: At the completion of the Family Studies/Human Services Degree Students will: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of lifespan human development theories (using a psycho-social-biological framework) to explain psycho-cognitive-social development, gender identity development, sexual identity development, and ethnic identity development. 2. Apply lifespan human development theories to assess psycho-social wellness and functioning. 3. Recognize the elements of scientific methodology, and discern between primary and secondary research. 4. Demonstrate skills (i.e. critical thinking; cultural competency; and interpersonal relationship practices) that support academic achievement, professional development, personal growth and global citizenry. 5. Participate in meaningful academic discussions about the central concepts, theoretical debates and controversies within the study of lifespan human development. 6. Cite community and governmental resources intended to support individual and family wellness and functioning. PROGRAM SUPPORT OF INSTITUTIONAL GOALS, INSTITUTIONAL OBJECTIVES, AND/OR INSTITUTIONAL LEARNING OUTCOMES A. The Family Studies / Human Services Program addresses and helps the district to achieve its Institutional Goals by enhancing its programs and services to promote students successful completion of transfer requirements, degrees, certificates, and courses by offering a variety of courses at differing times and days through different modalities. The Family Studies Department builds a sustainable base of enrollment by effectively responding to the needs of its local service area through attending and presenting at the local Tech Fair and participation at local middle school and high school Career Days. The Family Studies / Human Development Program implements, assesses, and improves its integrated planning processes by improving and maintaining a sustainable assessment calendar cycle. The Family Studies Program will strengthen its partnership with local educational institutions, civic organizations, businesses, and industries by continuing to plan and implement an annual Advisory Committee Meeting that includes a student representative. B. The Family Studies / Human Services Program helps students to achieve the following. Institutional Learning Outcome 1: Personal, Academic, and Professional Development. This is accomplished by announcing and posting student academic services such as: the Student Health Center, Disabled Students Programs and Services, The Cuesta College Writing Center, and ESL Retention Assistance. Additionally, workshops and events are announced and posted such as: Inequality For All, and The Student Success Festival. Furthermore, students will be better able to recognize, assess, and practice lifestyle choices that promote personal health and mental well-being because instructors in this program post, read, and bring awareness to the physical and mental health resources available on campus in the Student Health Center and related programs like Chill and Chat -mental health support group and Anger Management classes. Students in the program do a project on community and governmental resources aimed at assisting individuals and families. These projects are shared, allowing students to learn about a multitude of resources from their peers. Students also have an opportunity to demonstrate the professional skills necessary for successful employment through Addiction Studies Fieldwork and the Work / Study Program. Institutional Learning Outcome 2: Critical Thinking and Communication. Students will develop critical thinking and communication skills by analyzing their own thinking processes and those of others. One way this is achieved is to allow personal reflection and

7 individual writing, followed by group processing, continued with groups sharing with other groups verbally and in writing (ideas on the white board), finalized by exploration and discussion of textbook findings in comparison to what the individuals and groups initially ascertained. Communication skills are also developed through opportunity to verbally and visually present community and governmental resource projects to the class. Institutional Learning Outcome 3: Scientific and Environmental Understanding. Students will demonstrate scientific understanding by drawing conclusions based on the scientific method, experimental, and observational evidence. This is accomplished when students explore basic research designs (observation, the experiment, and the survey) and then ways researchers study change over time (cross-sectional, longitudinal, and crosssequential). Students give examples of research done with each of these designs and give examples of drawbacks inherent in each design. Students also analyze the relationship between people s actions and the physical world by exploring many areas of the social environment and the impact these environmental areas have on relationships. Institutional Learning Outcome 4: Social, Historical, and Global Knowledge and Engagement. These areas are explored in the Family Studies / Human Services Program when students evaluate and are challenged to pursue their opportunities and obligations as citizens in a complex world through the study of the topic of positive responses to the social environment. Students learn about the myriad of ways to provide for oneself and one s relationships, while at the same time helping to make the world a better place. The reciprocal value of giving to others is an area used for reflection, discussion, and writing. Students demonstrate understanding of world traditions and the interrelationship between diverse groups and cultures through the topics of family rituals or traditions, historical trauma, and cultural recovery. Institutional Learning Outcome 5: Artistic and Cultural Knowledge and Engagement. Cultural knowledge and engagement are addressed when students demonstrate knowledge of, and sensitivity to, diverse groups and cultures through studying those impacted by historical trauma. Cultural recovery through education, research, language, and traditions is investigated. The process of attaining cultural competence through awareness, knowledge, and skill is another area studied in the Family Studies / Human Services Program. Institutional Learning Outcome 6: Technical and Information Fluency. Students have the opportunity to develop technical and informational fluency by recognizing when information is needed, such as choosing a resource topic and researching it to complete the required project. The highest standards of academic honesty are explained in the syllabus and expected in the project and throughout all courses. Students produce and share their project created with computer and personal research using modern software and technology. III. PROGRAM DATA ANALYSIS AND PROGRAM-SPECIFIC MEASUREMENTS A. Data Summary: SLOCCCD; FAMILY STUDIES / HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAM OVERALL 2013 PROGRAM REVIEW YEAR Sections Fill Rate 75.5% 99.3% 102.6% 86.0% 86.3% Enrollments Headcount FTES FTEF FTES/FTEF Success Rate 69.4% 68.8% 65.6% 71.2% 72.5% Retention Rate 85.3% 87.2% 82.7% 86.4% 87.8%

8 1. Response to Data: Scorecard data indicates an overall completion rate of 55.4% for students who earn a degree, certificate or transfer. Comparatively, Scorecard data on Career and Technical Education (which includes Family Studies / Humans Services) has a completion rate of 67% for students earning a degree, certificate or transferring. Response to site specific data notes a general correlation between enrollment and fill rates and a similar trend between budget cuts and loss of a fulltime faculty member with a decrease in FTES/FTEF. B. Interpretations of Data: Enrollment and fill rates show a correlation of increase in Academic Year (fill rate up to 99.3% and enrollment up to 1596), decrease in Academic Year (fill rate down to 86% and enrollment down to 1391), followed by a slight increase in Academic Year (fill rate up to 86.3% and enrollment up slightly to 1417). It is noted that as the CAP was lowered in 2009, the program s numbers followed the overall trend of the college. Retention rates remain high and show and increase with 85.3% in and 87.8% in Success rates of students earning a C grade or better are strong at 72.5%. Budget cuts and loss of a full-time faculty member appear correlated with a decrease in FTES/FTEF. The program is very close to the ideal FTES/FTEF of 15, with a current level of The decrease in FTES/FTEF also correlates to the department offering more courses to meet student needs. The degree and certificate completion rate shows a large fluctuation of one graduate in , while ten students graduated in the program. It is important to note here that many of the students in the Family Studies program transfer or declare a Psychology major, which impacts the number of students who graduate. Areas of change to facilitate program growth include exploring the rotation of classes offered, which specific classes are offered, when classes are offered, and in what modalities courses are offered. Areas of change to facilitate program quality involves encouraging faculty training through attending conferences and workshops, and hiring a full-time faculty member. C. Program efforts to improve graduation rates, transfer rates and/or certificate completion involve offering classes on a more effective rotation and providing students with a visual pathway to help facilitate this process. Classes are offered at peek times of interest including evening courses to accommodate the working student. Additionally, distance education courses are offered to meet the needs of students who live out of the area, have scheduling conflicts, or differing needs. CAADE Accreditation was accomplished, giving students the opportunity to become Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselors. Continued work by the Advisory Committee with ongoing participation in the Tech Fair, and Career Days could also improve completion rates. Bringing in more guest speakers in the field of Family Studies could also motivate students and improve completion rates. V. PROGRAM OUTCOMES, ASSESSMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS A.

Students had to have completed a minimum of 4 of the courses in the /HS degree patterns. A total of 19 students completed the survey although students were not certain they intend to fulfill the degree requirements. The average scores of the two sections are below: SLO 1 = Very Well, 8 Fairly Well, 3 Somewhat SLO 2 = Very Well, 8 Fairly Well, 2 Somewhat SLO 3 = Very Well, 4 Fairly Well, 7 Somewhat SLO 4 = Very Well, 5 Fairly Well SLO 5 = Very Well, 10 Fairly Well SLO 6 = Very Well, 4 Fairly Well, 2 Slightly Students who complete 33 units within the Family Studies/Human Services degree pattern may earn an A.A. degree. The degree pattern does not require pre-requisites and therefore students may complete courses in any order. Additionally, there is not a specific capstone course that allows us to corral students for self-assessments before they exit the program. Consequently, surveys were distributed in Spring2012 to students who completed a minimum of four /HS courses. 6 Recommended Changes & Plans for Implementation of Improvements 7 Description or evidence of dialog among course or program-level faculty about assessment plan and results Overall, the majority of student responses to the Program Learning Outcomes indicate a high degree of comprehension. Students scored themselves highest on SLO4, possibly because that objective emphasized subjective knowledge. Students scored themselves lowest on SLO3. This may be a result of higher enrollments in courses that do not emphasize scholarly research (205 Life Management, 210 Introduction into Human Services, 280 Basic Counseling & Treatment). Several ideas for improvement have been discussed. Faculty will re-visit the content related to each SLO by including the content into lecture and relevant assignments through-out the semester. Faculty will also attach a copy of the SLO(s) to course assignments as well as explore ideas for creating/revising assignments that support SLO comprehension. Additionally, several of the SLOs will be re-written for better clarity and reflection of course content. Discussion of assessment results with other faculty will occur during departmental meetings. **Course and program level outcomes are required by ACCJC to be aligned. Each program needs to complete a program map to show the alignment. See examples of completed CPAS and program mapping documents are available at

Program. Additionally, faculty should consider asking students who have completed a minimum of 4 A.S. to complete the self-survey. Faculty who teach A.S. should discuss ideas for Program improvements. Discussion of assessment results with other faculty will occur during departmental meetings. **Course and program level outcomes are required by ACCJC to be aligned.

16 C. Improvement efforts by faculty that have resulted from SLO assessment follow. There has been more focus on learning about community and governmental resources by requiring students to research resources that are shared with one another, increasing knowledge of resources. Theoretical knowledge with personal applications has been explored in more depth by requiring multiple assignments with personal application, a hands-on project to illustrate the concept of a theory and its application, and an essay question covering the topic on the exam. Scientific methods have been studied more thoroughly, with students generating examples and drawbacks of six types of research. Cultural competence has been emphasized and expanded through the exploration of diversity, historical trauma, and cultural recovery. Understanding epigenetics has been expanded with focused reading, writing, and a forum discussion assignment. D. Recommended changes and updates to program funding based on assessment of SLOs include inviting more guest speakers from the field to speak in classes, increased staff participation in conferences and workshops, and hiring a full-time faculty member.

25 III. PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT/FORECASTING The FS/HS Department will begin developing a Family Studies Transfer Degree (AD-T) later this year when it gets approved at the state letter. This will help with Institutional Objective 1.1. Decrease course in the FS/HS level. This degree should improve degree and certificate rates for Objective 1.2.DE faculty are committed to increases online interactions with DE students to promote relationships to improve retention Objective 1.3. Anticipated changes in curriculum and scheduling this year include reapplying for CADDE certification. Addition of a Co-occurring Disorders course would be beneficial to recertification. We have the goal of increasing the number of DE FS/HS courses currently offered from six to twelve. Family Studies/Human Services has been operating under staffed for several years. A decision needs to be made concerning an ongoing long-term faculty absence. The department will remain stagnated until we have two full-time faculty but also an Addiction Studies Coordinator. While the official CAP for the college has yet to published, Family Studies / Human Services has shown that is highly adaptable to reductions from the state. More DE and less face to face offerings on both campuses.
