Roundup Riders

Spend your hour ridin’ through Reflection Ridge or visiting nearby Triple L Ranch, then scrawl down your thoughts and send ’em in before sundown. Mosey on down this page to pick a trail and start your Reflection Ridge or Triple L Ranch ride.

For our Roundup Riders (the Staff and Administrators who keep GCC running!)

Assessment isn’t just for students or classrooms—it’s for any process we want to understand and improve. If you’ve worked to improve something in your area, you’ve likely already done assessment work, even if you didn’t call it that.

This activity invites you to reflect on a project, task, or process in your area that you’ve tried to improve (or want to). You’ll consider three core steps:

1. Assessment - What’s happening now? How do you know?

2. Intervention - What change did you make (or could make)?

3. Reassessment - How did things change (or do you think they would change) as a result?

You’ll share your reflections in the Assessment Survey. Choose from the prompts below, or reflect in another way that’s meaningful to your role. 

• Do you have data to describe the current situation, or are you working from intuition? Is there a way to gather simple data to better understand the issue?

• Are you currently in the assessment phase, just identifying a challenge or need?

• Have you implemented a change yet? If so, what was it, and why did you choose it?

• If you've completed all three steps, what changed and what did you learn from the experience?

• Have you talked with your supervisor, team, or other colleagues about this process or your findings?

• How might this effort connect to your department’s goals or GCC's Elevate 2028 Strategic Plan?

If the sun’s settin’ and you can't find your way to Reflection Ridge, head for Trail 2 and lasso a task from the Triple L Ranch.
