Events and Meetings

The Academic Senate will hold a CTE Leadership Institute on May 6-7, 2016, at the DoubleTree Hilton in Anaheim. This year will bring an intense focus on career and technical education at the federal, state, and local level. In our CCC system, the Board of Governors’ Task Force on Workforce, Job Creation, and a Strong Economy recently released its recommendations.  By the time this event takes place in May, implementation conversations will be well underway and input from faculty statewide will be needed.

This event will provide CTE faculty with the opportunity to engage in key policy conversations through their interaction with representatives of the task force, by learning about the implications of policy decisions on local programs and courses, and in participating in breakout sessions to better understand the college processes including topics on leadership, curriculum design, course repetition, and effective program advocacy.

This year, the Academic Senate will collaborate with other constituents in hosting the Spring Plenary Session, partnering with the Chief Instructional Officers (CCCCIOs), the California Community College Association of Occupational Educators (CCCAOE), Chief Student Services Officers (CSSOs), the Chancellor’s Office, and other organizations to host the first Community College collaborative event Aligning Partnerships for Student Success. Today’s current higher education environment will require a close collaboration with all college constituents to address issues of common concern.  Register early to secure a slot for this event.
