Partificating the chairs meeting. All other chairs are rather new and I have been doing this for a lot of years. I've become the tribe's wisesman. There is a certain comfort in this since almost all issues discussed, I have some anecdots, success or horror stories to tell. But I also felt old, it maybe time to move on.
The educational effectiveness is become so much of an emphasis on many campuses, including CSUMB, there is a clear and present danger that we take faculty's time off their primary focus: study, evaluate, generate, document and deseminate knowledge and compel them to spend too much effort on education and assessment. We might have a lot of professors that are very good at measuring student leanring, but not as good as their core function. That would be sad for higher-ed.
The missing items in many of the discussions are "excellent" and "motivation". Which are crucial in any educational process and prominantly missing in public K-12, and now in some colleges and universities, also.
