Info

• New quiet testing room – in the Tutoring and Learning Center (former Library – 2 nd floor) – we have a testing room for DRC students who have the accommodation of a quiet room for taking exams. • Other schools – which courses are they offering for DRC students Bob will explore this further during his sabbatical. Which of our classes have strong enrollment How can we enhance or change our classes to better serve our students and the college as a whole • Napa college – learning communities – connecting Counseling, English, and Math. • One Stop – Silver Dollar Avenue – 8 new computers – free for public use for jobrelated activities. Fax machine, phone – for employment reasons. Free classes – interview, resume, identifying your job skills, brush-up Math skills. • Mark Wiza – One Stop serves many people who are mandatory clients – would like more referrals, clients who are interested in using the One Stop, use computers, etc. • Suzanne Joy – survey students in the Basic Computer class – why are they taking this class (career, personal use/enjoyment, etc.) • Betsy Fedor – survey students – what courses might they need • Suzanne Joy - Career class – make sure they can get BlueGo to the college (stops running at 6:00 p.m.) • We could install some adaptive software on the computers at the One Stop that would help students with disabilities (Zoom Text, etc.). Bob will e-mail, will include Ken to assist with this • John Pillsbury – Dept of Rehab can do a survey of accessibility to help agencies make sure their physical space is accessible • Let the DRC know if any automatic door buttons in the college are not working (we would like to fix them) • Independent Living Skills class – will be able to go into the cafeteria for some cooking one or two times per quarter. Shopping and cooking will be part of the class. Karen – new teacher for ILS – middle school teacher for Special Education. Some repetition/reminders to enhance learning. • ILS – about ten students. Dan (who runs the cafeteria) will help Karen teach the cooking portion of the class. • Paula Lambdin – there may be grant money for people with disabilities with weight issues, diabetes. Nutrition component. • College Programs – Virginia Boyar – Director of Vocational Education – got some ideas from this group – building maintenance, etc. Unable to find an instructor. Challenges: finding an instructor and a facility. Virginia is continuing to work on this. We have to develop the class before actually advertising for an instructor. We will explore further possibilities to get programs like this going. • Some individuals can get on-the-job training in areas such as culinary arts and construction trades – perhaps that is why our community college classes in these areas haven’t had enough enrollment. We are currently doing some revamping of the culinary arts program. • The fire academy vocational program has been very successful. 25
• A program currently under development – web design/web publishing. Creating a certificate program. Using Dream Weaver. • Betsy Fedor – positive feedback about LTCC’s Addiction Studies program IV. DRC Advisory Committee Additional Agenda Items and Feedback • Rob Albin - Thank Bob for all of his help this fall • Paula Lambdin - TRPA is working with TACCD to make changes for unmet transportation needs. Are they hooking up with anyone at the college We are gathering information about how many of our students are using Blue Go. Kelly – needs to get that data. Susan will mention to Chris Jantzen. • John Pillsbury – express his appreciation for our DRC staff • Betsy Fedor – thank our staff – Ken • ILS class – for developmentally delayed students. People in the community who may be able to live on their own – employment skills, math skills, paying bills, etc. We do have a class called Independent Living Skills for Adolescents – through our Counseling department – taught once a year. One step up from our current ILS class. • Veterans with disabilities/PTSD are very welcome at the college and the DRC • Humboldt State and College of the Redwoods – large populations of veterans. Acquired brain injuries, PTSD, other injuries • Veterans support groups – make sure they are aware of our services, our classes, our online classes. Would we like this group to meet in the Fall and Spring or just once a year Fall is Ok 26
