6.2c Program Coordination
For each of its educational programs, the institution assigns appropriate responsibility for program coordination. (Program coordination)
√ Compliance ____Non-Compliance
Narrative
St. Petersburg College (SPC) assigns academically qualified faculty members to all program/curricular areas, who are responsible for directing the learning, as well as overseeing and coordinating educational programs to assure that each contains essential curricular components, has appropriate content and pedagogy, and maintains discipline currency.
Note: SPC also offers several clock-hour, workforce programs that can articulate into A.S. degree programs (e.g. Police and Fire Academies), but are not included in this standard as they are not credit-bearing.
Qualified Faculty and Coordination
The College has a centralized academic organizational structure that distributes responsibility for academic program leadership across all campuses and modalities from content area Deans, who report to the VP of Academic Affairs, to program directors/leads or full-time faculty, who have been given administrative duties to oversee program curriculum review and development. The College uses Board of Trustee Rules and Procedures to establish the roles of faculty, program directors/leads, and the Curriculum & Instruction Committee in the development, review, and management of course and program curricula.
Board of Trustee Rules and Procedures governing processes concerning curriculum development include:
Rule 6Hx23-3.04 Course Descriptions and College Programs
Places the development of the curriculum firmly in the hands of faculty and program administrators
Procedure P6Hx23-3.04 Course Descriptions and College Programs
- Defines the process for curriculum development and approval starting with faculty and ending with the BOT.
- Defines the process for withdrawing courses from the curriculum.
- Establishes the role of the Curriculum and Instruction committee in the review process.
- Establishes program assessment processes for degree programs and general education and the role of faculty and program administrators play in this process.
- Defines the process for terminating a program and the role program administrators play in developing and carrying out a teach-out plan.
- Defines the continuous cycle of course review.
Oversight of Curriculum Content, Pedagogy, and Currency
Academic program directors/ leads and faculty (program administrators) work in tandem with their Dean and departmental faculty to direct learning at the college by 1) coordinating and overseeing curriculum development Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) Process, 2) participating in the ongoing Course Review Process, 3) facilitating online course development using Quality Matters (QM) standards, and 4) engaging in programmatic review as outlined by the Office of Academic Effectiveness – Overview of Academic Assessment and Evaluation at SPC. All academic program administrators meet the required academic qualifications for their assigned discipline following the Faculty Credentialing Handbook. Credentialing is initiated by the Dean and documented in the faculty credentialing system hosted in PeopleSoft as summarized in the Academic Program Coordinator Roster listed below.
Each Dean oversees their programs delivered throughout the College on all campuses, including courses taught via Dual Enrollment and via online education through the program administrator’s participation in all 4 areas of oversight below:
Curriculum Development and Review: Curriculum development and review practices are consistent regardless of teaching modality (face-to-face, blended, synchronous, or asynchronous online deliveries), including those courses taken by Dual Enrollment students. Dean/program coordinator oversight and approval are facilitated through SPC’s electronic curriculum management system, META. This includes creating new programs, program modifications, creating new courses, and course modifications. Program director/lead and faculty responsibilities include some or all of the following: working with his/her Dean and other faculty during the periodic course and program reviews; serving on the Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) Committee to ensure academic quality, structural integrity, articulation assurance, and student focus; and participating in Workforce Advisory Board meetings to ensure programs meet industry needs.
Course Review: The College’s ongoing Course Review Process is designed to look at key course design and delivery practices within each course. This 4-step process begins by reviewing course outcomes, objectives, and assignments to ensure alignment and currency in the field. The next three steps focus on student engagement. Syllabi elements, feedback, and embedded high-impact practices. This review uses a peer-review process among faculty teaching the same course or faculty within the same department to ensure program coherency.
Online Course Development: Online course development within D2L MyCourses is facilitated by the Department of Instructional Design, Education, and Support using Quality Matters (QM) standards and course review processes. New courses use this framework, while older courses can go through full course QM review/update or QM Rapid Refresh for specific chosen parts of the course. These processes integrate the knowledge and expertise of faculty teaching the courses, program administrators, and Deans.
Program Viability: In addition, program administrators are active participants in the Program Annual Viability Process to review key program metrics to ensure students are enrolling, completing programs in a reasonable timeframe, and either attaining a mid to high-wage job or continuing their education upon graduation. Program administrators are also integral participants in the Program Assessment process for their programs, which occurs every 3 years and reviews whether intended program outcomes have been met.
Academic Program Coordinator Roster
