  1. Moving Aheadwith the Walker School The Directors’ Meeting September 24, 2010

  2. Agenda • Greetings from the Dean • ACBSP Accreditation Updates • Q&A • Wrap Up, Dean Akande

  3. ACBSP Updates • Bi-Annual Quality Assurance Report • Annual Faculty Professional Development Survey

  4. Thank you to… • IT Department, especially Kathy Marlock and Terri Jones • Pilot testers, from four different pilots: • November 2009 • February 2010 • April 2010 • June 2010 • To you and your faculty for any feedback to make this survey better in the future

  5. The Annual Faculty Survey: Overview • What is it? • Why? • Who needs to complete it? • By when? • Where is it? • What, exactly, do we want you to do?

  6. What is it? And why is it necessary? • An online survey required by ACBSP for continuing accreditation. The data helps document that we have expert faculty. • We need to collect information from every faculty member about his or her professional development and scholarly activities annually. • The survey is fairly user friendly, and walks the faculty member through the questions. Instructions for Directors (IFD), page 3. Instructions for Faculty (IFF), page 3.

  7. Where is the survey? • WSBT Faculty Course Information channel on the Connections portal • Survey link • Instructions for Faculty • Instructions for Directors (Director section) • A copy of these slides (Director section) • If instructors need to import the Channel, instructions are provided (IFF, Appendix A, page 19) IFF, page 5 and page 19

  8. How do faculty gain access? • Faculty are provided access to the survey from CARS • New faculty have access 24 hours after they are entered into CARS by your campus • All “active” faculty have continual access. • Faculty who have not taught for 3 years are removed from the system.

  9. When do faculty complete the report? • Begin the process of survey completion in Fall 2, 2010. • Faculty must complete a survey at least once every academic year in which they teach a WSBT course. • The first time a faculty completes the survey, she should begin with activities dating back to June 1, 2010 OR the date of first hire – whichever is more recent. IFF, page 3

  10. What if the instructor has no updates? • He still must complete at least two sections of the report: • The section at the very beginning of the survey called “Faculty Participation Report – REQUIRED” (every year) • Credentials (includes Personal Information, Academic Affiliation at Webster and Education) and Certifications. (after year one, updates only) • This benefits you, the director, because…. • It will prevent you from having to track down those who haven’t completed a survey by the end of the academic year. • It will ensure that you are abreast of any changes in credentialing of your faculty. IFD, page 5. IFF, page 3.

  11. How do I know who has completed a survey? From the “Faculty Participation Report” -- • Includes those instructors designated by CARS as ‘primary’ for your campus. • provides you with a quick and easy tool to determine who has completed the survey -- as long as the instructor remembers to complete the section marked “REQUIRED” . IFD, page 6

  12. Who is responsible for faculty who teach at multiple campuses? • Each May, the director is responsible for ensuring that all ‘primary’ faculty for her campus have completed the report during the academic year. • So, as a professional courtesy to fellow directors, please request a survey from each instructor who teaches at your campus – perhaps at the time contract is issued. IFD, pages 6, 7 and 11.

  13. Are other reports available to me? • You have access to the following for your campus: • Faculty Participation Report (IFD, page 10) • Details for your Vita (IFD, page 11) • Academic Degrees Earned • Presentations by Faculty • Activities Database Report • See Part 2. How to Run Reports (IFD, pages 12-18)

  14. Do Faculty have access to reports? • Yes, an instructor has full access to the information he entered, as long as he remains an active faculty member. • The “Details for your Vita” report may be useful any time he wishes to update his vita. IFF, pages 16-18

  15. Who has administrative access at my campus? How can I change that access? • As of today, only the campus director has administrative access to this report. • You can request access to the survey for up to two others at your campus: • Send an email to Lauren Kleve at klevela@webster.edu indicating the name of your campus and your designees. IFD, page 10

  16. What do we want you to do? • Become familiar with the information in your packets (faculty and director instructions) • Provide faculty with the information they need to complete the survey. • Let your faculty know that this is an ACBSP accreditation directive that’s not negotiable. • Start the process of survey participation beginning Fall 2, 2010. • Ask faculty to go back to June 1, 2010 when they complete the information.

  17. What do we want you to do? (cont’d) • As a professional courtesy to fellow directors, ask instructors who teach on your campus to complete the survey during the term they teach for you. • In May, check to ensure all of your primary faculty who taught in AY 2010-11 (or current year) have completed a survey. • If they haven’t, please make sure they do – even if they didn’t teach on your campus this year.

  18. What if… …an instructor refuses to complete the survey? • Discuss the situation with your AVP. IFD, page 3

  19. Is there training available for campus administrators? • There are four webinars/online chats scheduled: • Tuesday, October 5 at 10 AM (STL time) • Thursday, October 7 at 4 PM (STL time) • Wednesday, October 20 at 10 AM (STL Time) • Thursday October 21 at 4 PM (STL Time) • RSVP the date of attendance to Lauren (klevela@webster.edu) • Information about accessing the webinar/chat will be emailed to you.

  20. Providing you with Ongoing Support • Send feedback about the survey (or your questions about survey content) to Lauren Kleve at klevela@webster.edu. • Problems with survey access? Contact the Help Desk at 866-435-7270 or 314-968-5995 or support@webster.edu • Survey technical/functionality questions? Directors can contact Terri Jones at terrij@webster.edu or 314-246-7953. • Policy questions about faculty participation?
