2015-16 Cont'd. Changes in Technology: The industry experiences rapid changes in technology, including the current "convergence" of still and video technologies. It is difficult for faculty to remain current in technology and to secure funding for updated equipment. There is a need for regular replacement and upgrade of equipment, purchasing of new technology, facultly professional development as well as curriculum updates to provide preparation in current technology.

2015-16 Cont'd. Employment: Employment in the areas of graphic design, illustration, animation, and photography continue to trend toward self-employed and freelance work. These positive trends are not captured in employment data. This results in inaccurate assessments of success when compared with more traditional industries. As a result, there is a false impression that Photography is not a viable career choice for our students. However, data from IBIS World Report shows that over 88% of photographers are successfully self-employed and there is expected annual industry growth of 2.2% between 2012-2017. The 2015 Otis Report on the Creative Economy in the LA Region also confirms the economic vitality of the self-employed workforce: "In addition to wage and salary employment, growth in the creative industries is also driven by talented self-employed individuals. In 2013 (latest data available), therewere 166,404 nonemployer firms in the Los Angeles region’s creative industries that earned revenues of $7.7 billion. Between 2008 and 2013, the number of self employed workers in Los Angeles and Orange counties increased by 15.0% (21,682 firms), slightly outpacing the region’s 14.4% increase across all industries"

2015-16 Cont'd. "Convergance" of Still and Motion Technologies: The photography industry is undergoing a paradigm shift from "still" imagery to the "convergance" of "still and motion" technologies. In fact, for the past few years, our Advisory Committee has recommended that we revise our curriculum and purchase equipment to support this new direction in our industry. A new course, Phot 26 Video for Photographers, has been approved and will be offered in the 2015-16 academic year. A new Certificate, Photography Video Production (25 units) has been approved by our Advisory Committee and the CEA Department and will be submitted for approval soon. We are requesting resources to support this course and certificate.

2015-16 New Changes in Technology: Drones. There has been rapid growth in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the photography industry. Drone cameras are being used in all aspects of photography including architecture, real estate, sports, journalism and commercial photography. It is essential that we integrate drone photography skills to our curriculum so that our students are prepared to be successful in our industry. To do so, we will need to write new curriculum, purchase equipment, provide professional development for our current faculty, and hire an additional full-time photography professor with expertise in this area.

2015-16 Cont'd. Staffing Needs: Our Core Indicator Report shows positive numbers in all areas except #4, Employment. With only two full-time faculty there is a general lack of man-hours to spend the necessary time devoted to developing relationships for work experience, internships, placing students in industry, and tracking employment results. There is a need for increased staffing for a Job Developer to assist students with educational planning, placing students in internships and employment, and tracking students employment status. While Debbie Baustista's efforts help our students with individual education planning have been successful, she is not familiar with our industry, which is highly diverse. We need a Job Developer with familiarity and contacts specific to our industry.

2015-16 Cont'd. Shared Lab: Secure staffing, professional development, hardware and software to support inter-departmental technology in Shared Lab in Design Technology Center (13-1225): Currently staff and equipment (hardware/software) for the Shared Lab is partially funded by CEA Program Perkins Grants. Since the lab serves students from across many programs, departments and divisions, College funding for fully staffing and equipping the lab is requested. The CEA Shared Lab has been successful, and we need to continue to support it.

Perkins Grant

2015-16 Cont'd. Staffing Needs: Increase class offerings has required increased adjunct hiring and development of larger adjunct pools. 2015-16: We hired three new adjunct instructors in Winter 2016. However, with our program growth and increase in course offerings, we still need more faculty. We are requesting an additional full-time photography faculty member.

Course schedule

2015-16 Cont'd. Staffing Needs: Our full-time (day) Lab Tech will retire in Spring 2016. Therefore, we need to fill this full-time, permanent position at that time. 2015-16: Our full-time (day) Lab Tech submitted notice of intent to retire at the end of June 2016. We need to replace his permanent position as soon as possible. If the full-time permanent position is not filled by the end of June, a substitute will need to be hired in the interim.

Randy Smith, retirement notice submitted to the Arts Division Office.

2015-16 Cont'd. Additional Course Offerings: To improve the number of students completing certificates and degrees in our program, additional sections of advanced courses need to be added, which require additional classrooms and staffing. 2015-16: We hired three new adjuncts and secured partial use of an additional classroom (13-2425). We anticipate that the standardization of instruction across all sections of PHOT 10 will lead to increased student success in the next course (PHOT 11), which feeds our other advanced classes.

Mt. SAC Search for Classes- waitlist (Sp2015)

2015-16 Cont'd. Color Managed Workflow: Currently our computer labs are not maintained as "color managed. This is due to the large number of students accessing a large number of computers and printers. As a result, printing output is inconsistent and inaccurate. Students need access to a more controlled, color managed system to produce industry-standard prints with accurate exposure, contrast, and color. This is particularly necessary for students producing their final portfolios. We would like to purchase two color managed workstations which will include wide-gamut monitors, printers, and print viewers. 2015-16: This project was completed during Winter 2016 and color managed workstations are in place in 13-1455 and 1301430.

Photography Advisory Committee meeting 2015

2015-16 Cont'd. Funding for Program and Department Marketing. Promoting our Program (and CEA Department) to potential new students is a vital component in maintaining consistent enrollment (outreach), informing our current students (in-reach), tracking and networking with alumni, and interfacing with feeder high schools and awareness of Programs and CEA. We need funding for our promotional materials and web presence. 2015-16: We are working with students in the graphic design club (GRID) to design posters to promote each of our photography classes. The posters will be displayed in the photography area and provide valuable (in-reach) promotion to our existing students. However, this is only one small part of our marketing and additional funding for program marketing is needed.

Photography Advisory Committee meeting 2015

2015-16 Cont'd. Classroom Availability: We are scheduling our two classrooms (1455 and 1430) to near maximum capacity. Since the Music Department uses 1430 for two sections of MUS9, we have limited classroom availability to support growth in our program. 2015-16: This project was completed in Spring 2016. We now have partial use of 13-2425 and plan to continue to schedule classes in this room.

Course Schedule

2015-16 Cont'd. Facilities: Equipment Storage. The growth of the Photography and Film/Television Programs have resulted in additional equipment storage and check-out needs. Our equipment storage areas are reaching capacity and we are running out of room to securely store the amount of equipment we currently have. There is little room for additional, new equipment. Equipment check out for the Television program has created additional duties for our lab techs, which takes them away from their responsibilities in the Photography Program. Additional storage and staffing is needed. 2015-16: We have secured additional cabinetry in the studio storage room, which has helped to organize and secure more equipment in the room. However, there is still a problem with having two separate equipment storage areas (Issue Room and Studio Storage Room). These two rooms must be combined into one, larger storage/check-out room in order to secure our valuable

equipment.

2015-16 New Staffing: Full time faculty position- Photography Professor (growth position). Our program is growing, with successful increased course offerings every year. As a result, we have hired five new adjunct faculty in the past two years, and are still in need of more instructors. We believe the data supports the need for another full-time Photography Professor. We currently have two full-time faculty and 13 adjunct instructors. In the 2014-15 academic year, we scheduled a total of 198.75 LHE, with the two full-time faculty members teaching 85.5 LHE and our adjunct faculty teaching 113.25 LHE. In the 2015-16 academic year we scheduled 216.25 LHE, with 80.5 LHE taught by our two full-time faculty and 135.75 taught by our adjuncts. These numbers do not reflect "stacked" class offerings or Dept. Chair reassigned time. Clearly we offer ample LHE's to support another full-time professor in the Photography Program. In addition to instruction, our two full-time faculty members have numerous other program management responsibilities (Advisory Committee, HS articulation, scheduling, Perkins, etc.). A recent poll indicates that full-time faculty in our department (CEA) work an average of 400+ hours/yearly on program management. This means that each of our current full-time faculty members work in excess of 200 hours (each) over the contracted 192 service hours. This indicates that there is a deficit of 400 man- hours for program management activities, some of which could be fulfilled by a new full-time faculty member. Also, with our new Photography Video Production Certificate in the approval process, our new course, Phot 26 Video for Photographers, and our future new certificate proposal (drone photographer) we will need a full-time faculty member with expertise in these area (as well as traditional, analog, and still photography) to support our new curriculum. With the retirement of Jesse Mezquita in 2013, the Photography Program now has one less full-time instructor compared to previous years, when the Photography Program had three full-time professors. We are also not conforming to the Article 10.K (Preparation) in the faculty contract, as Jason Perez is frequently scheduled for 4-5 preps per semester. In conclusion, we feel that our program, but more importantly, our students, will be better served by the addition of another full-time Photography Professor with special expertise (analog, digital, video and drone), current knowledge of the industry to steward the program into the future, and greater availability to assist our students in and out of the classroom, which will ultimately result in greater success and employment for our students. This is an extremely high priority for our program.

Schedule of Classes 2014, 2015, 2016

2015-16 New 2015-16: Workload. The Photography Program is the largest program in our department. Recent data collected shows that the two full-time instructors in the Photography Program typically log 400 hours/year each on program management tasks. This is more than twice the 192 hours of Service to the College required in the faculty agreement. We are requesting reassigned time for each of the two full-time photography faculty to compensate them for the 200+ additional hours.

CEA full-time faculty workload survey

2015-16 New 2015-16: Facilities, Equipment and Staffing oversight. The Photography Program has more equipment and facilities than any other program in our department. We also have one full-time and one part-time laboratory technician positions. However, the full-time photography faculty spend many hours working with the lab techs to oversee and coordinate equipment and supply purchases, revise systems and procedures, oversee facilities, and direct our permanent and student lab techs. We are requesting reassigned time for the full-time photography faculty for oversight of our facilities, equipment and staffing.

CEA full-time faculty workload survey

2015-16 New Staffing: Part-time Lab Tech (replacement position). We anticipate our current part-time lab tech (Chris Benoe) to apply for the full-time lab tech position vacated by Randy Smith at the end of June 2016. If Chris Benoe is offered the full-time position, we will need to replace the part-time position. We hope to have both the full-time and part-time lab tech positionsfilled before the beginning of the Fall 2016 semester.

Randy Smith intent to retire.

2015-16 New Staffing: Additional permanent Lab Tech position (growth positions). With the growth of the Photography Program and the additional responsibilities for managing equipment for the Film/Television Program, the duties of our lab techs has greatly increased. Our current staffing (one full-time and one part-time lab techs) are not adequate to managed the equipment and facilities adequately. We are requesting additional permanent lab-tech positions, either full-time or part-time. Additional staffing is crucial to the security and maintenance of our equipment and facilities, as well as to provide adequate support to

our students.

2015-16 New Staffing: R-TV Lab Tech. The photography lab techs are now responsible for maintaining and issuing equipment for the Film/Television Program. This is beyond the scope of the Photography Lab Technician job description. With the increased amount of Film/Television equipment, this is no longer a small matter. The photography lab techs spend a great deal of time with the Film/Television equipment. Student workers from the Film/Television program should be responsible for the check-in/check-out of the equipment, but more often the responsibility falls on the photography lab techs. Another problem that resulting is the temporary storage of film/television "kits" ready for student pick up. Several times each semester, the photography lab techs assemble 10-15 carts full of film/television equipment ready for student pick up. These carts are stored in the photography studio, eliminating one entire shooting area - 20% of the studio workspace is unavailable for photo student use. We are requesting that the Film/Television program provide their own lab techs for management of their equipment.

2015-16 New Staffing: Counseling. Currently our two full-time faculty members, along with Debbie Bautista, spend many hours assisting our students with their educational planning needs. The sharp increase in completions is clear evidence that our efforts are extremely successful. However, the services that we are offering our students should be provided by the Mt. SAC counseling department. Since the counselors are generally unfamiliar with our programs, right now, our students are best served by seeking the advice of the photography faculty or Debbie. A few years ago, the CEA Department approached the Counseling department to request one counselor to act as an "area expert", someone familiar with the CEA programs that could assist our students. The counseling department was unwilling to work with us and we were unsuccessful in our efforts. As a result, the task of assisting our students in their educational planning has again fallen on our faculty . This is a very time consuming (although effective) effort. Apparently, the lack of informed counselors is a campus-wide issue. It is even mentioned in the CTE alumni survey results attached to this document. This is a student quote from the survey which sums up the problem succinctly: “From the beginning I think they should give you a counselor that is knowledgeable in your particular field, lack of knowledge of which classes are needed lead to wasted time.” We need counselors familiar with our programs that are available to assist our students with their educational planning. This responsibility should not fall on the faculty.

Year Retention and/or Success Data Data Sources

2015-16 Cont'd. Growth: Our new full-time faculty member (Jason Perez) is teaching many of our advanced classes. As a result, the quality of student work has increased and there is renewed interest in our program and demand for our advanced courses. Enrollment and waitlists for our advanced courses indicate we have been successful in moving students from our beginning class (Photo 10) into the Program. As a result, there is a need for increased sections. For example, waitlists in Spring 2015 were: Phot 11, (13 students), Phot 18 (15 students) and Phot 20/21 (13 students). We believe this data supports the need for additional sections of advanced classes (growth). 2015-16: We have successfully added advanced classes to the schedule. In Spring 2016, over 20 students were on the waitlist for Phot 11 (Intermediate Photography), so we added an additional section. Since PHOT 11 feeds our other advanced classes, this should leads to increased demand for our other advanced classes.

While we would like additional staffing to assist us in this area, we also realize that the vast majority of our graduates are freelance or self-employed, thus not captured in standardized employment data. We have not means to accurately track our students. 2015-16: Core Indicator report (2016-17) again indicates positive numbers in all areas except #4 Employment.

addition, our internal records indicate over 40 degrees/certificates awarded during the 2015-16 academic year (so far). This indicates a significant increase in completions compared to our historical (ten-year) data. 2015-16: the photography faculty and Debbie Bautista continue to meet with our advanced students to offer individual education plans and assistance with completing certificate/degree applications. Our 2016-17 Core Indicator Report shows that our performance is 4.5% above negotiated levels. We plan to continue our efforts in this area.

2015-16 Cont'd. Curriculum: For the past few years our Advisory Committee has recommended coursework that combines still and video technologies "converged". As a result, Phot 26, Video for Photgraphers has been approved and will be offered during the 2015-2016 academic year. 2015-16: Phot 26, Video for Photographers was scheduled for Spring 2016, but was cancelled due to low enrollment. We plan to offer it again during Winter 2017.

2015-16 Cont'd. New Certificate: In addition to Phot 26 Video for Photographers, our Advisory Committee recommended a new 25-unit Certificate, "Photography Video Production". This is a collaborative effort between all CEA Programs and combines courses from Photography, Radio/Film/Television, Graphic Design/Illustration and Animation/Gaming. It will prepare our students for increased employment opportunities using both still and motion imagery, such as multi-media. Self-employed graduates that complete this new Certificate will be able to offer their customers broader offerings and increase value-added services in their businesses. 2015-16: The new certificate is still in the approval process.

2015-16 Cont'd. Success and Retention rates in Phot 15 History of Photography continue to be low. This is a required course for our AS degree, so student success is critical for completion of the degree. However the adjunct instructor that typically teaches this class is retiring at the end of Spring 2015. One of our recent adjunct hires, Greg Rager, is a well-known expert in this area and will be teaching this course beginning in Fall 2015.

Argos Report

2015-16 Cont'd. Spring 2015 enrollments and waitlists indicate that the demand for some of our advanced courses is very high. In order to move students though the program, we added one section of Phot 11 to the Winter 2015 schedule. 2015-16: We also added an additional section of Phot 11 to Spring 2016. This is the first time in many years that we have successfully filled two sections of PHOT 11 in the same semester. This is a very positive indicator of our program growth.

2015-16 New Curriculum changes. Using our Advisory input, we have made several important curriculum changes. 1). Split PHOT 11 into two smaller classes, PHOT 11A and PHOT 11B. 2). Combine the content of PHOT 19, PHOT 20 and PHOT 21 into one course (PHOT 20). 3). Remove ARTC 100 and ARTC 290 as options from our AS degree and Certificates. These course modifications (and others) were submitted by May 31, 2016. We will submit degree/certificate modifications soon.

In conclusion, we feel that our program, but more importantly, our students, will be better served by the addition of another full-time Photography Professor with special expertise (analog, digital, video and drone), current knowledge of the industry to steward the program into the future, and greater availability to assist our students in and out of the classroom, which will ultimately result in greater success and employment for our students. This is an extremely high priority for our program..

Year Progress on Outcomes Assessment Data Sources

2015-16 Cont'd. Outcomes Mapping: During Winter 2015, Laurie Hartman completed a test pilot matrix mapping ILO's, PLO's, MO's and SLO's. We will use this to determine the appropriateness of our current PLO's and SLO's and adjust them as needed. The matrix also provided valuable insight that we will use to guide our curriculum and program decision making.2015-16 Our Outcomes Mapping is complete.

Outcomes Matrix- Photography

2015-16 Cont'd. SLO's: Most faculty are participating in the assessment process and SLO's are assessed in each course every semester. However, we believe that our adjunct faculty members do not fully understand outcomes assessment. We would like to schedule a training session for them. 2015-16: During our Phot 10 Standardization meeting in winter, Emily Woolery presented an overview of the outcomes assessment process. Hopefully we will see increased participation in outcomes from our adjunct instructors.

SLO's Results- Photography

2015-16 Cont'd. Advisory Input: For the past two years, outcomes and assessment have been an important component of our annual advisory committee meeting. We hope that including industry advisory in the outcomes discussion has has strengthened the meaning of assessment making it pertinent to successful industry transition for students. This effort plays an important

IX. Institutional Set Standards

IX. Institutional Set Standards

+ - What are Institutional-Set Standards?

o Institutional-Set Standards are another set of data used to inform planning assessment and outcomes in this process.

o Institutions must set standards for satisfactory performance of student success to meet accreditation requirements.

o These standards also provide the basis for the Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative (IEPI) indicators that help colleges and

districts improve their fiscal and operational effectiveness while promoting student success.

For more information about IEPI indicators: http://www.mtsac.edu/administration/research/iepi.html

Mt. San Antonio College must demonstrate that it:

• Establishes standards for its own performance

• Analyzes how well it is meeting its own standards

• Makes results available to all constituent groups

• Plans to improve in areas where its own performance is inadequate

The measures to be assessed are:

• student success

• number of degrees and certificates

• licensure, transfers

• and job placement (for CTE areas)

+ - Current Standards

of 31v18f

Review the Institution-set Standards information in the following table and describe how your Unit will address the trend data you observe using these guiding questions: o Do the data indicate there is room for improvement? o What plans or activities might your Unit do to lead and support the targeted improvement?

The Research and Institutional Effectiveness team conducts annual surveys of CTE program graduates to gather information on job placement.

The Otis Report on the Creative Industries and the Economy states: "A large and growing portion of the creative industries are driven by talented individuals who are self-employed. Although their contribution to the creative economy is significant, their activities are not captured in the federal and state employment data" and "A large number of independents also appeared in the communication arts sector as free-lance graphic artists and commercial or portrait photographers. Revenues and receipts of creative non-employer firms in Los Angeles County were $6.7 billion in 2013 with 40.5% of that total generated by independent artists, writers and performers. Revenues in 2013 were up by 12.7% compared with 2008. In Orange County, revenues grew by 8.8% to $967.5 million". This confirms our findings that the vast majority of photographers are very successfully self-employed and making significant contributions to the local economy, despite the fact that they are not captured in traditional employment data. It is difficult to accurately assess employment in our industry without including the largest portion of practitioners- the self employed.

As a result of "In-Reach" activities, we have seen an increase in the number of advanced students needing classes. Waitlists for several of our Spring 2015 classes exceeded 15 students per class. We believe there is a demand for additional sections of advanced students. As a result, students will be able to complete the program more quickly and we expect to see an increase in degree/certificate completions. 2015-16: We anticipate continued growth and need for increased LHE for additional course sections.

Phot 26 Video for Photographers has been approved and will be offered during the 2015-2016 academic year. In addition, the Photography Advisory Committee, as well as the CEA Department recently approved our new 25-unit Certificate, “Photography Video Production”, which is a collaborative effort between CEA Programs and combines courses from Photography, Film/Television, Graphic Design/Illustration and Animation/Gaming. The Certificate will help to prepare our students for increased employment opportunities using both still and motion imagery, such as multi-media. Self-employed graduates that complete this new Certificate will be able to offer their customers broader offerings and increase value-added services in their businesses. As a result of this new certificate, we expect to see an increase in completions and employment in our Core Indicator data. We need additional still and video equipment to support the new course and Certificate. In addition, industry experts have advised us that students need access to color-managed computer workstations in order to produce industry-standard portfolios. We need two color-managed workstations consisting of monitors, printers, calibration devices and viewing stations.

Full-time faculty position

Completion 2016-17

2015-16: Staffing: Full time faculty position- Photography Professor (growth position). Our program is growing, with successful increased course offerings every year. As a result, we have hired five new adjunct faculty in the past two years, and are still in need of more instructors. We believe the data supports the need for another full-time Photography Professor. We currently have two full-time faculty and 13 adjunct instructors. In the 2014-15 academic year, we scheduled a total of 198.75 LHE, with the two full-time faculty members teaching 85.5 LHE and our adjunct faculty teaching 113.25 LHE. In the 2015-16 academic year we scheduled 216.25 LHE, with 80.5 LHE taught by our two full-time faculty and 135.75 taught by our adjuncts. These numbers do not reflect "stacked" class offerings or Dept. Chair reassigned time. Clearly we offer ample LHE's to support another full-time professor in the Photography Program. In addition to instruction, our two full-time faculty members have numerous other program management responsibilities (Advisory Committee, HS articulation, scheduling, Perkins, etc.). A recent poll indicates that full-time faculty in our department (CEA) work an average of 400+ hours/yearly on program management. This means that each of our current full-time faculty members work in excess of 200 hours (each) over the contracted 192 service hours. This indicates that there is a deficit of 400 man- hours for program management activities, some of which could be fulfilled by a new full-time faculty member. Also, with our new Photography Video Production Certificate in the approval process, our new course, Phot 26 Video for Photographers, and our future new certificate proposal (drone photographer) we will need a full-time faculty member with expertise in these area (as well as traditional, analog, and still photography) to support our new curriculum. With the retirement of Jesse Mezquita in 2013, the Photography Program now has one less full-time instructor compared to previous years, when the Photography Program had three full-time professors. We are also not conforming to the Article 10.K (Preparation) in the faculty contract, as Jason Perez is frequently scheduled for 4-5 preps per semester. In conclusion, we feel that our program, but more importantly, our students, will be better served by the addition of another full-time Photography Professor with special expertise (analog, digital, video and drone), current knowledge of the industry to steward the program into the future, and greater availability to assist our students in and out of the classroom, which will ultimately result in greater success and employment for our students. This is an extremely high priority for our program.

Compenstation: Workload

Completion 2016-17

2015-16: Workload. The Photography Program is the largest program in our department. Recent data collected shows that the two full-time instructors in the Photography Program typically log 400 hours/year each on program management tasks. This is more than twice the 192 hours of Service to the College required in the faculty agreement. We are requesting compensation for each of the two full-time photography faculty to compensate them for the 200+ additional hours. This will benefit our students as the faculty will be able to dedicate more time to the classroom and assisting students.

We also have one full-time and one part-time laboratory technician positions. However, the full-time photography faculty spend many hours working with the lab techs to oversee and coordinate equipment and supply purchases, revise systems and procedures, oversee facilities, and direct our permanent and student lab techs. We are requesting compensation for the full-time photography faculty for oversight of our facilities, equipment and staffing. This will benefit our students as the faculty will be able to dedicate more time to the classroom and assisting students.
