The Internal Evaluation Committee began its work in
April 1993. The function of the committee is to conduct
an internal self assessment and report its findings to the
College. To truly characterize our College the committee is
comprised of a membership from all major constituent

groups:
Chairperson Richard Longworth local 2735
Student Society Tanja Giljevic local 2969
Instructional Divisions
SIS John Brooks local 2787
Career/Voc. Pat Hodgson local 2581
Academic Crystal Hurdle local 2420

CCFA Ed Lavalle local 2954
OTEU none appointed
Administration John Potts local 2988
Geoff Holter local 2991
Exempt Staff Judy Hafey local 2933

The evaluation process itself is intended to help our
institution improve by: clarifying goals, identifying
problems, examining the program and service review
process, and identifying needed changes. The outcome of
such a process will enhance the effectiveness of our
institution.

As a preliminary step the Committee reviewed recent
provincial educational documents and compared these
documents with the strategic plans of our College. In our
analysis we reviewed the following provincial documents:

Opening The Doors To Lifelong Learning:Empowering
Undereducated Adults (PLAC), December 1989.

Lifelong Learning for the 21st Century (Faris), March
1992.

Participation in Adult Education in British Columbia, May
1992. ;

Review of B.C. Student Assistance and Barriers to Post
Secondary Participation (ORUM), September 1992.

B.C. Human Resource Development Project (BCHRD),
November 1992.

Special Insert - Jan. 20/94

Interim Report
from the Internal Evaluation Committee

Report of the Consultation Steering Committee on B.C.
Training and Adjustment Board, December 1992.

Issues Affecting the Implementation and Use of
Educational Technology April 1992.

Client Survey Project, June 1992.

Learning and Work: The Way Ahead for British Columbia
(Strand), 1991.

1992 B.C. Colleges and Institutes Student Outcomes
Report, 1993.

A copy of each of these reports is available from your
constituent representative. We encourage you to read these
reports, and we welcome your input. We believe a review
of these reports is essential since the Ministry has indicated
it will utilize some of the findings to shape our educational
future.

From our readings, we identified twelve key issues. We
selected these twelve after a careful examination and
evaluation of the College's Mission and Values statement
adopted in 1992 and the 3-Year Plan adopted 1990. See
section on "Articulated in Mission/Values?" and
"Articulated in the Three Year Plan" in the Issue
Reports. The Committee suggests that each of these issues
needs to be considered by the College.

We need your feedback. Below are five questions that you
will be asked to consider and answer at a later date.
However you are not expected to respond at this time.

We hope the twelve issues which follow will stimulate
much discussion before we formally consult with you either
individually or in a group setting.
