The CLS Faculty Calendar has a lot going on in April. The CLS Assessment Committee is hosting a meeting (April 11) to share the findings of the most recent departmental assessment. The Faculty Evaluation Committee is hosting several 1-hour sessions to help faculty navigate the college-wide changes to evaluation criteria and process (April 18 and April 22). LAG is hosting a Student Research Symposium (April 18) for faculty and staff as well as a LAG retreat for LAG faculty (April 25). Plus we are all working hard to update to Blackboard Ultra, right?
There's also a lot happening outside of CLS. The CARES team is hosting several workshops about their intervention process. Dr. Lindsay Lawley-Rerecich is hosting an open conversation about the Dual Credit experience in Liberal Arts (April 10 or April 23). The Vision and Voice team is looking for volunteers for the Carnival of Voices festival (May 3).

The faculty evaluation process has changed for the entire college, and the CLS Faculty Evaluation Committee has been working hard to make sure that CLS is prepared. The video Annual Evaluation Materials for the Faculty Evaluation Cycle offers an overview of the new college-wide evaluation process and how to use this document New Faculty Evaluation: Submission by Year.
In this video, Beth Frye walks you through the Faculty Evaluation Cycle, which spans three years, and highlights the specific materials required for both adjunct and full-time faculty. She emphasizes the importance of the peer dialogue and values framework for full-time faculty and encourages you to review the Faculty Evaluation Manual for detailed guidance. Additionally, she discusses the purposeful change document for year two and the requirements for submitting assignments and assessments in year three. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with these materials and prepare for your evaluations accordingly.
Wondering what evaluators are looking for when they evaluate your syllabi? Want to make sure your syllabi emphasize criteria from the new ACC evaluation process? On Friday April 4, Lisa Holton and Anne-Marie Schlender offered a Syllabus Review Workshop, detailing the evaluation criteria from the new ACC evaluation Process. Below you can find the slides and recording for review.

Passcode: kBn=4B*4
Looking ahead to the new ACC Faculty Evaluation Process (which begins with the materials we have/are submitting this academic year, 2024-25), all faculty will want to complete their FACULTY REFLECTION FORMS with intention.
In this brown bag workshop, Beth will walk participants through the components of the FACULTY REFLECTION FORM and emphasize the importance of filling out the form with details and examples and the role the FACULTY REFLECTION FORM plays in the new ACC Faculty Evaluation process. Please send questions ahead of the workshop (so Beth can answer those specifically), and plan to join her in person or virtually on April 18th. Note: This session will be recorded.
See you there!
When: Friday April 18, 1:15pm-2:15pm
Where: In person in HLC 2208 or Zoom: https://austincc.zoom.us/j/82775477999?pwd=bOmTdCpDzxmh5ZMLmLweNt47hn7cH2.1
As part of our department’s ongoing efforts to support faculty well-being, the CLS Professional Development, Research, and Service Committee is conducting the CLS Faculty Well-Being Survey to better understand how workload, institutional support, and overall work-life balance impact your mental health. Your responses will help us identify key areas for improvement and advocate for meaningful changes.
This survey is anonymous, and your honest feedback is greatly appreciated. Most questions are multiple-choice, with optional space to expand on your experiences. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
Kari Conness and Chris Gardner—both members of the Faculty Evaluation Committee—will detail the changes to our faculty evaluation process and be available for your questions. The session will be recorded. Details about this year's process can be found above (see item The New Faculty Evaluation Process). Grab a beverage in an opaque cup and join us! Hope to see you there!
When: Tuesday April 22, 6:30-7:30

Hi! I am PSYCHED to bring you more than a peek, a real-live look, at our new Incorporating Civic Engagement Pilot! What Is It? It Is a carefully curated Blackboard Upload with artifacts for you and your students to use.
Please take a look at my Introductory video and Dean Toño Ramirez's explanation of how to use the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) VALUE rubrics to assesss Civics Education and how to use the Blackboard-Integrated AAC&U's VALUE Rubric for Civic Engagement into your assignments.
Artifact categories include: Civil Rights; Climate and Environment; Corporate and Government Contracts; Education; Policy; Food; Gun Rights; Human Health; Immigration; LGBTQIA+; Libraries and Freedom of Speech; Media and Technology; Refugees and War; Reproductive and Human Rights; andVoter Rights
Mission Statement and Purpose
To provide all ACC students with access to artifacts relevant to our civic education–including media, video clips, images, forms, official documents, statements, etc. Students and faculty can critically reflect on these artifacts in their assignments, formal and informal group and class discussions, workshops, simulations, or other academic pursuits.
Use, review, discussion, and classwork engaging with these artifacts closely align with two of our General Education Competencies:
Personal Responsibility: Identify and apply ethical principles and practices to decision-making by connecting choices, actions, and consequences.
Social Responsibility (Civic and Cultural Awareness): Analyze differences and commonalities among peoples, ideas, aesthetic traditions, and cultural practices to include intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities.
Right now, we have a Blackboard Demo Shell but it is nearly complete (we are cleaning up the MLA citations!)--If you'd like access as soon as it is available (in the next week or two) or for your classes for summer , please email wendy.elle@austincc.edu, and we can get you started. And if you want to talk more about this amazing resource, let me know!
On April 2, Chancellor Russell Lowery-Hart sent information about CCSSE and CCFSSE surveys that will be sent to ACC faculty and students in the next few weeks. Read the full memo here.
From the email:
ACC will use the aggregated CCSSE, DESSE, and CCFSSE results to facilitate discussions about student and faculty perceptions of student engagement. The ability to compare faculty expectations and perceptions of student engagement with student responses will help us identify strengths and recognize challenges for further consideration. Your participation is especially important this year as the results will inform the work of the Theory of Change design teams.
Administration Details are as follows:
Faculty Survey - CCCSE will send faculty an email with a link to the online CCFSSE survey during the second week in April, and faculty will have until May 7 to complete the survey online.
Student Surveys – OIRA will send emails to select students with a link to the student surveys online during the week of April 7th. The CCSSE (credit students, not dual credit) will be open from April 7 through May 7, and the DESSE (dual credit students) will be open from April 7 through May 16th. If you are teaching classes this semester, please remind your students that this survey is being administered and encourage them to complete either survey if they receive an invitation.
To learn more about CCSSE, DESSE, or the CCFSSE, visit www.ccsse.org. If you have any questions about the CCSSE, DESSE, and CCFSSE administration this spring, please contact Dr. Richard Griffiths at rgriffit@austincc.edu.

Remember that student responses are a portion of your Annual Faculty Evaluation, and you benefit from a variety of voices in your course evaluations. Be on the lookout for an email notifying you when your Course Evals are available to students and then promote them in your class announcements.
Also, check out the Office for Faculty Evaluation's promotional materials:
You can request a 10-minute student presentation through this link. Or you can share this prerecorded video with your students.
We've gathered all of the resources and policies regarding ACC's response to federal executive orders in this document: Info on Federal Executive Orders about Immigration. Below is a condensed version of ACC's official response. If you work in high schools, be sure to check the document for the policies at your specific high school.
Steps from ACC Chancellor:
If immigration officers come into your workspace (office or classroom), stay where you are and assure them you will comply.
Ask them to wait where they are while you connect them with the appropriate help.
Then, immediately contact the Chancellor’s office at 512-223-7598.
The district will be prepared to work with immigration officers directly.
Please continue your work as usual while we deploy our protocols. Our ACC Police will join the immigration officers to notify you of the appropriate next steps.
The Chancellor's email also reminded the ACC community about support available through Employee Assistance Program or the Office of the Ombudsperson.

Moving forward, ACC and CLS want faculty to aim for a BB Accessibility score of 80% or higher.
Resources for checking and fixing BB Accessibility in your courses:
Please check your BB accessibility score at the beginning of the spring 2025 semester and as you add new items to your courses throughout the semester. Dean Toño Ramirez made this brief, helpful video to demo Accessibility Reports. If you need help fixing the accessibility of your Blackboard courses, you have resources!
Instructional design support is currently offering Workshop Sessions on Enhancing Accessibility. They have one more option: April 2 (HLC). You can learn more or register here: DE Accessibility Training.
TLED has great resources on its Accessibility information page.
Within CLS, we are fortunate to have Amber Clontz helping folks get their Bb documents ADA reader-friendly at her Blackboard Q & A Office Hour on Fridays--see the Information further down the newsletter for how those office hours work!
Trent Griggs shared the following materials related to the ADA Blackboard Compliance Training during a presentation at the CCCs:

If you are teaching summer, make a plan NOW for the Blackboard Ultra Conversion! Many of us wait until the last minute, but that is not the best option with this conversion. There will be growing pains during the process, and ACC may not have the resources to meet all the last-minute demands for troubleshooting during the May intersession. Your best bet is to schedule yourself for one of the many training opportunities happening now and through the end of the spring semester. Your summer courses will be available on BB starting March 10.
Here are ways to get prepared:
(1) AVC Beth Knight sent an email to all faculty teaching summer courses. It included the following training options (each session offers four PD hours):
Using Blackboard Ultra (Face-to-Face): [Sign up here]
Using Blackboard Ultra (Virtual): [Sign up here]
Using Blackboard Ultra (Hyflex): [Sign up here]
(2) Following our CLS Dos de Mayo Meeting (End of Spring Semester on May 2, 2025), we are planning a Bb Ultra Workshop in person at RGC. You'll need to sign up for it--more information to come!
(3) Export your current Blackboard Courses. You can create a Zip file for any/all available Blackboard courses. By saving Zip files to your computer, you will have all materials if/when you need to build courses in Ultra.
Step-by-step from Jean Lauer, Chair of the Religion, Philosophy, Humanities Dept.
In your Course Management list, open dropdown under Packages and Utilities.
Select "Export/Archive Course."
Select "Export Package." (It's a little hidden, I swear it's there)
Review settings - part 1. I usually keep defaults under "File Attachments."
Review settings - part 2. I usually "Select All" under "Select Course Materials."
Hit "Submit."
Wait for an email (it's usually quick).
Refresh or go back to course menu and select "Export/Archive Course."
Download the zip file.
Save it!
------------------------
Need help setting up your Blackboard page? Have a quick question about a Blackboard function?
Email Amber Clontz for the Zoom invite; she's hosting regularly on Fridays 3-4 PM.
Can’t make the day/time? Send your availability to request an alternative :)
