Professional Improvement Plan - 2004-2008 Cycle
(submitted 23 Nov. 2003)
URL: http://web.cocc.edu/cagatucci/PIPSab/PIP2004_08.htm
Abstract: For my
fifth Professional Improvement Plan, 1 Sept. 2004 - 31 Aug. 2008, I
propose the following:
Goal 1
(short term): Webs Inventory, Editing, &
Reorganization
of my existing FrontPage instructional webs (2000+ pages), update Site
Maps and subweb entry pages, implement Search function, update COCC
“Community” [non-FrontPage] entry pages, request & analyze WebTrends
tracking statistics, guided by IT Coordinator Barbara Klett, other web
experts’ advice, and informal faculty/student reviews.
Goal
2
(short term): Publication & Review Projects:
(a) Web
Publication:
(1) update/strengthen content of my pages attracting prestigious links &
heavy World Wide Web traffic (2) repackage “chunks” of instruction and
exemplary student writing, currently embedded in my course-specific
subwebs, as multiple-use “learning objects” (i.e. free-standing web
resources re-usable in multiple courses & learning environments to
support instruction); (3) create new instructional web pages of
multi-course or interdisciplinary value and of personal professional
interest; (4) centrally locate and/or index these pages on Humanities
Instructional Resources subweb of the Humanities Dept. web to make them
easier to locate and access. I am submitting Sabbatical Proposal for
Winter-Spring 2005 to pursue short-term Goal 2.a web publication
projects. (b) Print Publication & Textbook Review: print
publication opportunities and publishers’ invitations to review
textbooks in my areas of expertise will be accepted and completed as
time allows
Goal
3
(short term): Curriculum Development:
(a)
participate in Writing curriculum review & revision to achieve seamless
articulation between developmental and first year writing, reading,
rhetoric course sequences and to prepare anticipated conversion to
4-credit course format; (b) if distance education is revived (Chairmoot
Distance Education Task Force recommendations due Dec. 2003, per CM
Discussion post: Kathy Walsh, “Distance Education Task Force,” 9/16/03,
& attachment), volunteer to deliver entirely online web-based version/s
of any of my courses to fill Humanities Dept. scheduling needs; (c)
pilot special version of WR 123 or WR 199 - academic research-based
writing for the World Wide Web – built on 1999-2001 & 2002 CCHA-NEH
grant project outcomes.
Goal #4
(long term): Outcomes-Based Instruction,
Assessment, and Related COCC Curricular Revision.
Continue (a) to implement outcomes-based instruction, assessment,
and curricular improvements based on assessment results, in my own
courses; (b) to participate in departmental and interdisciplinary
assessment projects; and (c) to contribute to outcomes-based
assessment of COCC instructional programs and degrees, as College need
dictates, opportunity arises, & time allows.
Goal

(long term): OSU-Cascades.
Continue to contribute to COCC articulation and instructional
collaboration with OSU-Cascades, as opportunities arise and time allows.
