Advisory Committee Meeting - March 26, 2012 - Recap

We held a Supporting All Employees - Classified Advisory Committee Meeting on Monday, March 26, at 3:30 p.m. at District headquarters.  Click on these links to find the agenda and presentation materials.  The primary purpose of this meeting was to organize the list of competencies that we have gathered over the course of the last few months.  We had asked various groups (including readers of this blog) to provide input regarding those competencies that all classified employees should possess for successful performance as an LAUSD employee.  We had quite a number of competencies, many of which overlapped or varied only slightly.  The committee worked to organize the list, determine whether the list was complete, and eliminate any competencies that would not be readily understandable by everyone without having to read the definition.  The group organized the competencies by header/title, sub-categories, and terms to use in the definition.  You can find the result in these editable notes.  Please take some time to look at the list and indicate whether you agree or not, and any thoughts or suggestions that you have that clarify the information.

Over the course of the next month, I will begin to define the various parts of these competency lists.  I will work on one of the 7 competency areas at a time and post as I go.  I encourage your involvement in the process.

Next Advisory Committee Meeting

Hi everyone.  I’ve been checking, but I don’t see any comments/suggestions for competencies that we should consider as part of our Classified Framework, except for those that we discussed at our last meeting.  I have had a chance to meet with a few other stakeholder groups in the meantime, and will be incorporating the information captured into an outline that I will present at our next meeting.  In the meantime, I encourage you to go to the notes from the last meeting and add your comments, or list any other competencies that you think are important for all classified employees.  The document can be edited, so your input can be placed directly in the document.  Or you can comment to the blog with your ideas and I can include that information.

Our next meeting will be held the last week of March, or early April.  Please go to this survey and let me know which date works best for you based on the choices provided.  I want to make sure that we have as much involvement at these meetings as possible.
