Discipline Reports
This following section contains the
annual reports for 2000-2001 submitted by the Lead Discipline
Faculty member for each discipline. Each annual report includes
these categories:
1. Summary of Identified Issues: This
category provides a narrative of findings that emerged during
discussions, replete with examples, debated topics, and discussion
of support courses if relevant.
2. Identified Trends/Future Directions:
This category includes any changes anticipated in the field;
changes now being considered at 4-year institutions, implications
for K-12 instruction; tendencies noted of programs to include/exclude
requirements (e.g., information competencies). This section,
like the "Topics for Further Discussion" below,
provides grist for discussions in the years to come.
3. Comments from Statewide Meetings
and the General Field: This category records the comments
from the statewide meetings, noting their origins.
4. Recommendations for the Discipline:
This category will offers recommendations based on the regional
and statewide meetings.
5. Recommendations for Support Courses
(if discussed): This category notes recommendations for related
support courses. While not all disciplines may need to consider
related support courses, this section provides an opportunity
for any relevant recommendations.
6. Topics for Further Discussion: This
category contains information about work to be continued,
unresolved issues, recommendations for joint meetings with
other disciplines. The topics thus enter into the more public
as "hot topics," and provide the following year's
group with an opening agenda.
7. Recommendations Forwarded or to
be forwarded to: This category contains recommendations for
outside organizations such as CAN, ASSIST, or CIAC.
8. Outreach presentations made by members
of this group: This category highlights IMPAC presentations
made to professional and faculty groups around the state.
