Show j UINTAH BASIN STANDARD, July UBATC DIRECTORS continued from page 1 subject; the instructor itemizes competencies (skills) the student has demonstrated, and signs them out A student may spend a short time in the class if he or she obtains competency quickly; or the student may remain in the class as long as it takes to really understand and apply the information, Rose explained. The program changes do away with failures." Attendant to the two state mandates is a need for a computer tracking system, Rose says, to keep track of student hours; "But funding is a problem." However, diesel instructor Keith McMullin and welding instructor Craig Mitchell are considered exemplary by Rose and Jones for the way they "caught the vision of these changes. McMullin established competency criteria and computerized his system, all within three months of the time he was asked to implement it. Mitchell has only to computerize his criteria to be complete. The UBATC faces unique problems, Rose declares, with three locations (two locations in Vernal and the center in Roosevelt) and at least 100 people to work with--5- 3 employees on stall and 47 adjunct instructors and employees. With these concerns in mind, and following a recent staff meeting at the Roosevelt Center, new communication links are being established between administration and employees, particularly the instructors association. Three liaisons will be appointed, one from each ATC area, to report weekly to administration. These liaisons will also carry various information from administration back to employees. "The three individual liaisons will help a great deal," Rose surmises, to improve relations within the Technology Center. Instructors at the Technology Centers have been frustrated with lower salary increases than in surrounding school districts (Uintah, Daggett, and Duchesne), where salaries are already lower vv;3 r,y if, t ;v 1. 1W2 - -- f . r V L support throughout the state.
