Advisory Council


The Advisory Council meets each Fall semester for a 1-day event. The responsibilities of the committee members at this meeting are to:

  • review our overall education program 
  • review our program outcomes 
  • review data on our candidates and programs  
  • review our curriculum, classes, assessments, policies, procedures, partnerships, and quality assurance systems 
  • help to establish assessments 
  • provide input on how to improve our education program in each of these areas 

The recommendations from the committee are assigned to taskforces made up of members of the ECC and other education faculty. Once the taskforces complete their work and present their recommendations to the Education Coordinating Council, the recommendations are included in our Decision Tracking Tool .
