Future Development Strategies

Strategy 1 - ECE西班牙 Program

西班牙幼儿教育(ECE)项目自2008年1月开始为西班牙裔学生提供服务. This program provides the necessary Early Childhood Education (ECE) courses for students to earn a 24 Unit Certificate of Achievement and be hired as teacher assistants, associate teachers, and teachers in public and private child care programs. 参加这个项目的学生有很高的课程完成率, high percentage of class attendance, and tend to be hired in Butte, Glenn and adjacent counties. 

In Fall of 2021, the Program Review and Research approval occurred, and work on a complete ECE西班牙 Program, with dedicated faculty support, 已经开始. 目标是在2023年春季或秋季之前完全整合欧洲经委会西班牙语课程.

  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning
  • Enhancing a Culture of Equity and Inclusiveness

Supporting Rationale

1.     鉴于皇冠新现金网的西班牙裔服务机构(HIS)的地位, the validation team recommends that ECFS secure ongoing funding to support the Early Childhood Education in Spanish program in avenues such as the creation of Open Educational materials in Spanish, program coordination, case management functions, and a bilingual web site.  We recommend that ECFS continue to partner with campus resources and to advocate for Spanish-speaking staff and incorporate bilingual signage across campus but especially in student support services.

Strategy 3 - ECE Mentorship Program

The statewide California Early Childhood Mentor Program has provided a framework and funding source to 104 community college for thirty plus years.   The purpose of the program is to provide quality community placements for students completing their required field experience hours with select mentor teachers, 通过安排学生参加不同的项目,建立多样化的劳动力队伍, 并鼓励早期教育工作者在指导中获得领导机会, 培训, 促进, 倡导和社区合作,通过津贴进行补偿.

The Education, 儿童与家庭研究系每学期为95至145名学生安排实验室.  大多数学生在皇冠新现金网儿童发展中心完成他们的实验室实习.  然而,平均而言,我们将10-27名学生安置在社区中,并选择导师教师. 

The Butte College Child Development Center cannot support all early childhood/child development students enrolled in lecture/lab courses without funding for the mentor program. 学生在校外教室的安置对证书和学位完成率至关重要. 

 在2021-2022年,欧洲经委会指导计划的津贴由夏伯特学院资助. We would like this stipend to be institutionalized.

Strategy 4 - Full-Time ECE Faculty Hire

During the past academic year the department has struggled in locating qualified faculty to teach on behalf of Early Childhood Education/Child Development.  在2021年的春季和秋季,四名f/t教官中有三名超负荷.  除了, 一名全职教师宣布将于2022年春季学期结束时退休.  


倡议
  • Modeling Sustainability
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning
  • Enhancing a Culture of Equity and Inclusiveness

Supporting Rationale

If the goal to grow the programs in the department i.e. Elementary Teacher Education, Liberal Studies, ECE西班牙, and/or ECE/CD we need another F/T faculty member to support the additonal course and to replace the full-time faculty member.
