<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Two Questions:</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;list-style-type:decimal;">
<font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">
<li>Have you had a chance to register for the <b>Winter ATL Retreat </b>March 7&8, 2019, at Rainbow Lodge?</li><li>What about the <b>Spring ATL Retreat</b> June 26-28, 2019, at Spokane Community College?</li></span></font>
</ol>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Analea Brauburger is working with me to create a robust sequence of provocative discussion questions, activities, and slide decks. <b>Analea is an “Assessment Insider” in two key
ways</b>:</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;list-style-type:decimal;">
<font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">
<li>As the dean of organizational learning, Analea oversees curriculum and development and <b>currently serves as ALO at Tacoma</b> and . . . </li><li>Analea is a <b>trained accreditor for the NW Commission</b>.</li></span></font>
</ol>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">In addition to recently completing the training and joining the “<b>secret society” of the NW Commission</b>, Analea also attended the annual <b>NW Commission Meeting in November
2018</b>, where she got the inside scoop on how NW will be transforming as a result of their own accreditation process (<u>the accreditors are going through their own accreditation process . . . how very metacognitive</u>!)</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">She will be also attend the (First-Ever!) <b>NW Commission and National Institute of Learning Outcomes (NILOA) Workshop</b> in January 2019.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Our purpose is to offer professional learning experiences during the <b>Winter ATL Retreat</b> that will support your assessment efforts both immediately AND create a solid foundation
for extended work during our <i>first-ever-in-Jen’s-time-at-SBCTC</i> <b>ATL Summer Retreat</b>.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Folks charged with professional development . . . .you should attend too!</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">As Charlie Blaich and Kathy Wise of the Wabash Center for Inquiry said at the Teaching and Learning National Institute (TLNI) a few years ago . . . <b>Assessment is the best site
for professional development that centers teaching and learning.</b></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">To paraphrase a great quote from the brilliant Emily Lardner, VPI at GHC—we’ll be thinking in a variety of ways about <b>CPD</b> as “<b>Course, Program, Degree</b>,” and also as “<b>College
Professional Development</b>.”</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Therefore, we’ll be taking a close (and brand new!) look at Course, Program, Degree from a variety of vantage points—</span></font></div>

</ul>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I hope you all will join us to talk about these very important aspects of an organizational approach to student learning!</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Franklin Gothic Book" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></font></div>
