Either educatinal path prvides students with the means t effectively engage their larger cmmunity. II. Prgram Assessment (fcus n mst recent year): A. Hw did yur utcmes assessment results infrm yur prgram planning? The assessment target fr the academic was Prgram Learning Outcme number 3 which is intended t prvide students with a wrking knwledge f bureaucracies, scial plicy, ethical standards, and varius curses f actin related t the practical applicatin f the human services endeavr. In general, the assessment results were at an acceptable level f gain (42.5% gain verall with a 70.1% average); hwever, ne questin related t the three distinct functins perfrmed by human service prviders had the lwest level f gain verall (23.8%). The questin dealt with scial cntrl as an aspect f the human services endeavr and the infrmatin related t this tpic is cntained in the first chapter f the text and a pint cvered in the very first lecture. The results wuld seem t indicate a lwer level f retentin n that pint and a practical respnse wuld be t re-enfrce this infrmatin at multiple pints in the curse f an entire semester. The impact f the respnse t this assessment finding n the verall prgram planning wuld serve t re-enfrce an area f instructin t better equip students with a great pprtunity fr the retentin f pertinent knwledge.

2 C. Instructinal Prgrams nly: Hw d curse level student learning utcmes align with prgram learning utcmes? The Human Services student learning utcmes map directly nt the prgram learning utcmes; in fact, the PLO assessment results described abve can als be applied t HMSV B40 SLO #2 and HMSV B5 SLOs #1, #3, and #4. D. Hw d the prgram learning utcmes align with Institutinal Learning Outcmes? The Human Services prgram learning utcmes map directly nt the institutinal learning utcmes; in fact, the PLO assessment results described abve can als be applied t institutinal leaning utcmes III (A), III (C), and IV (B). E. Describe any significant changes in yur prgram s strengths since last year. Student retentin and success rates have increased ver previus years and they remain significantly higher than the cllege-wide average. Cmmunity partnerships and agency internship requests remain cnsistent but subject t increasing cmpetitin frm ther educatin institutins. F. Describe any significant changes in yur prgram s weaknesses since last year. Unfrtunately, the prgram s strengths have cntributed t its weakness. The exceptinal success f the Human Services Prgram at Bakersfield Cllege has caused ther cmmunity educatinal institutins t replicate the structure and ffer similar prgrams. This fact has created a significant degree f cmpetitin fr the limited number f internship pprtunities available in the Bakersfield Cmmunity. The current Prgram Crdinatr is effective and very talented but the psitin simply lacks the number f hurs necessary t effectively represent Bakersfield Cllege in the larger cmmunity and maintain the necessary partnerships. G. If applicable, describe any unplanned events that affected yur prgram. Nne. III. Resurce Analysis: A. Human Resurces 1. If yu are requesting any additinal psitins, explain briefly hw the additinal psitins will cntribute t increased student success. (Faculty Request frm; Classified Request frm) On any matrix f student success Bakersfield Cllege Human Services students excel. They are significantly higher in all categries when cmpared t the cllege-wide average. The real issue here is nt whether student success will increase but whether r nt the current exceptinal standard can be maintained fr a sufficient enugh number f students t make a difference. The past success f the Human Services Prgram was in direct prprtin t the number f hurs the Prgram Crdinatr cmmitted t keeping the face f Bakersfield Cllege present in the cmmunity at large. The directive t restrict thse hurs t thse specified in the cntract has effectively eliminated that presence. Grwing cmpetitin fr the limited number f internship pprtunities has already restricted enrllment in the Intrductin t Human Services curse. This trend will cntinue t have a negative impact n this prgram unless the Human Services Revised by: Prgram Review Cmmittee (May 12, 2014, Final) Prgram Review Annual Update Page 2
