Mission Statement

This program is dedicated to assisting older adults with enhancement and maintenance of mental and physical abilities for the enjoyment of life.

Program Description

The Healthy Aging and Living (HAL) Program serves older adults living in independent and assisted living senior residential facilitlies. Courses offered at these facilities are HAL 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, and 306. There are currently eight participating facilities offering twenty-one sections with nine associate faculty providing instruction.

The HAL Program is growing at a rapid pace.

Future Development Strategies

        

                    
Strategy 1 - Full-time faculty hire

                    

                        
The older adult program that Butte College used to offer ended in 2009. The program had a full-time faculty. The current HAL Program offers 21 sections and is growing. A full-time faculty is needed to teach classes, assist with providing oversight, create unit plans, participate in Program Review, hire and evaluate faculty, and oversee the SLO process.

                        Supporting Rationale

                        
Because the Special Programs Coordinator also oversees the CPE and OLS Programs which are rather large and growing, a full-time faculty to replace the full-time faculty who used to oversee the older adult program would be advantageous for student learning, generating even more FTES, and essential for maintaining the current status of the HAL Program.

Strategy 2 - Create a separate HAL budget

                    

                        
The older adult program at Butte College that ended 2009 had its own budget. The current program is the same size as the program that ended in 2009, except it is still growing. There is a need for instructional materials and supplies that cannot be addressed through the current CPE program budget.  The Special Programs Department is requesting the follwoing:


Needs                                                    Amount


Duplicating supplies                            $1,000   


Mandatory Meetings                            $3,000 


Instructional Supplies                          $ 3,000


Non-instructional Supplies                    $1,000


Computer equipment                           $ 6,000


Miscellaneous                                      $ 500


Total                                               $14,500

                        Supporting Rationale

                        
If instructors do not have the materials they need, the classes cannot be taught appropriately and student participation will drop thus impacting the number of FTES generated.

                            Healthy Aging and Living is in need of a separate budget.
                            The Healthy Aging and Living Program is growing rapidly and does not have an operating budget. The budget is needed to meet instructional needs and supplies.
