Focus Groups and Site Visits
 Several individuals at the college have received advanced focus
group facilitation training from AtD coach Dr. Kenneth Gonzales. We
strongly recommend you use this technique on implementation
teams. Contact Joyce Morgan-Dees at x7842 for more information.
 Once common barriers and/or underlying causes for problems have
been determined, we also recommend team members make site
visits to other institutions to determine how they have successfully
addressed the issues identified by each team.
7
Meetings
 Leadership meetings twice a semester:


First meeting will be reviewing data
Second meeting will be devoted to progress reports from
implementation teams.
 Steering Committee (Project Coordinator, Co-chairs and Executive
Sponsors) probably will meet once a semester.
 Highly recommended implementation teams meet at least monthly,
preferably twice a month time permitting.
8
Other Items
 Department numbers and preliminary budgets have been assigned
to each implementation team. Expenditure requests should be sent
to Stu Harvey, x7849 (or my assistant, Jane Hinojosa, x7577) for
approval.
 New I2 Student Success portal will be operational in next few
months.
 Project management toolkit.
