At Bakersfield College, the CLIP members did not see a need for many outside consultants. The CLIP Guide, other CLIP members, and other campus resource people were able to provide many of the skill-building sessions the CLIP needs.

Bakersfield College brought in one outside consultant to work with the CLIPs—Ruth Stiehl, the author of The Outcomes Primer: Instructing the College Curriculum and The Mapping Primer: Tools for Reconstructing the College Prep Field. Steihl’s programmatic focus helped CLIP members move beyond a course-level focus as they finished their CLIP work for the year. (At a programmatic level, they started to realign and map their courses toward student learning outcomes that addressed what students will do in their jobs and as citizens of the community.)

In anticipation of Ruth Stiehl’s visit to the campus, the CLIP Guide provided copies of Stiehl’s books to interested CLIP members and talked with others who were starting to form CLIPs for the next school year. So much interest in her ideas was aroused that the CLIP Guide ended up circulating about ten sets of Steihl’s books to CLIP members and other faculty and administrators.
