The 21st Century Learning Outcomes (CLO) team expanded its membership and
now includes teaching faculty Lisa Brewster, Yolanda James, and Wheeler North.
The kick-off luncheon was held on May 22, 2001 and introduced attendees to the
project objectives and how they directly tied into Strategic Plan goals
The CLO team met bi-weekly on Wednesdays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
continuing its focus on updating and implementing its Plan through faculty
workshops and on- going dialog. During the Fall 2001 Semester, the Team met
eight (8) times.
In preparation for the workshops, the team further defined the eight core
competencies and developed examples of threading the competencies in the pilot
courses of SPEE 103 MATH 95, PERG 140, and PSYC 101
“Teaching Outside of the Box” became the theme of the project
Teaching Outside of the Box workshops were held on October 10 and 24, 2001.
The focus of Workshop #1 was an introduction to the project goals, the adopted
eight core competencies with examples of how they could be threaded through a
variety of classroom activities. Workshop #2 focused on non-traditional
assessment strategies and gathering information on what some faculty are already
doing in the classroom.
A website was developed and is now available for all to view on-going 21st CLO
project and team activities. The URL is www.miramar.sdccd.net/projects/league.
Team member, Wheeler North, has developed and maintains the website.
Team member Carol Murphy attended the Learning Communities Conference at
Moorpark College on 9/22/01. Materials were shared at the team meeting on
9/26/01.
The Team met with its peer college in the project, Foothill, at Miramar College on
10/25-10/26. The 2-day meeting provided information sharing and discussion as

to how each college was approaching the project, issues faced, and how and if the
four goals (Define, Develop, Deliver, Document) were being met.
As a result of the 2-day meeting with Foothill, at is bi-weekly meeting on
11/14/01. The original eight core competencies were combined, resulting in five
(5) areas: Communication, Global Awareness, Information Management, Critical
Thinking and Problem Solving, and Personal and Professional Skills.
Lisa Brewster was recommended and endorsed as the Faculty Team Leader, with
.20 release time starting Spring 2002.
Team members Lisa Brewster and Mary Lee Meiners attended a League
sponsored E-transcript Summit at the CIT Conference on 11/17/01. Members
brought examples of non-traditional documentation models emerging at various
institutions to the 11/14/01 Team meeting.
The last team meeting of Fall 2001 concluded with the development of an
introductory sheet of core competencies, further definition of the core
competencies, teaching levels using Bloom’s taxonomy, and a simple form
faculty can use to plot classroom activities and what core competencies are
emphasized in each. Lisa Brewster volunteered Speech to be the model program.

The 21st CLO team has bonded and learned much from each other in its biweekly meetings and has continued to be committed in moving the project
forward. As the project has developed and become better understood by all, it has
sparked new enthusiasm for teaching not only course content but also using new
