Stanley, Phil
Since 1990, the California Community College (CCC) Council for Staff Development has conducted an annual survey of CCC staff development coordinators (SDC's) to gather and disseminate data on coordinators' characteristics and responsibilities. The 1994 survey received responses from 67% of the CCC's, the highest to date. An analysis of responses, with comparisons to previous years' findings, revealed the following: (1) while there has been an increase in SDC's who have been in their position 5 years or more, 57% of the 1994 respondents indicated that the SDC was in their first or second year; (2) 41.2% reported that their assignment was indefinite, 22% that is was for 1 year, and 18% for 2 years; (3) 24% of the 1994 respondents indicated that the SDC was selected by application, compared to 35% in 1993, while 34% were assigned in 1994, compared to only 7% in 1993; (4) although nearly 70% of the SDC's were reported as being faculty members over the past 5 years, only 47% were faculty in 1994; (5) while 23% of 1994 respondents reported no clerical support, 28% reported 31 to 40 hours of support per week, up from 16% in 1993; (6) 60% were responsible for writing the Human Development Resource Plan, 80% scheduled and set agendas for the Staff Development Advisory Committee (SDAC), and 68% served as committee chair; (7) with respect to the SDAC, size ranged from 5-24 and 51% indicated that dollar amounts were assigned by committee and not by employee category; and (8) 56% indicated that more needed to be done in the CCC's regarding staff development and shared governance.
