Some of us decided to venture out from the hotel and have breakfast by the beach to work on our blogs and register for summer and fall classes.
We were originally scheduled to meet the administration of San Pedro Junior College in the evening; however, our schedule changed and we met back at the hotel at 1:00 to head on over. Once there, we met with Dean Ellis, the assistant dean, and the other full-time faculty member.
San Pedro has 80 students and offers three programs: Business Management, Tourism Management and Business Administration. Ten of the 80 students are considered 3rd year students as they come seasonally to complete their degree.
Once everyone introduced themselves, the Dean began to discuss areas in which they could use some assistance. They have recently aligned with CARICOM and need to become compliant in paticular areas. The biggest area Dean Ellis identified in needing assistance is developing their course syllabi. He is going to send us what they currently have to review and we will meet back and discuss some ideas and options with them.
We also discussed our individual areas of interest. They will take our topics and partner us with faculty and staff that can answer our questions.
We left the college around 2:30 and went for a late lunch. During lunch, we discussed possible options to assist the college with their syllabi. Both Dr. Catapano and myself have syllabi templates we can share but there is still many questions about what CARICOM may require or if any guidelines have been outlined. Later in the evening, some of us tried to research CARICOM and any educational standards they may have but were unsuccessful.
