Opening Remarks
Andrea
Barnett called the meeting to order with the following remarks:
Ø First, I would like to
thank you all for agreeing to serve on the Placement Committee. Next, I would
like to call to order a meeting via email. I know we have busy schedules and
this is the best format to disperse information quickly.
Ø As you see above
attached is an Asset Score Sheet document. The reading score for RDG 032 was
changed from 0-34 to 31-34. This change was made due to a memorandum
understanding with Adult Education in our service area. According to Carol
Watts the agreement is that if a student scores below 31 on the reading portion
of asset they are referred to Adult Ed.
Ø The Assessment Center
has been following this procedure for a few years, the form was just not
updated. The change was made at the same
time COMPASS charts were changed to a minimum reading score of 37.
Ø Students who fall in
this category are given the opportunity to retest. If they fail to meet the required reading
scores the second time, they must attend skills upgrading classes at Adult Ed
before taking any classes here at TCTC.
Ø Please respond to this email that you received
it and if you have any questions. I don’t mind calling if we need more
discussion.
Responses
listed below:
Ø Fourteen (14)
affirmative responses to the e-mail.
Ø Two (2) no response to
e-mail.
Ø Received. In agreement:
the memorandum of agreement has been in place for years. I think the only
reason the ASSET score sheet wasn't updated is simply that we don't use ASSET
very often anymore. This is just a technicality.
Ø Looks great! Andrea,
please let me know when approved so I can get banner updated.
