Rationale:
	
How does this proposal further the goals of the program or department? 	
The Lane Community College Dental Hygiene Program is committed to providing students with the skills required to obtain all endorsements allowed by the Oregon Board of Dentistry licensure for dental hygienists and surrounding states.  Restorative is an important endorsement for students to achieve due to companies now looking for the as a condition of employment.  Increasing laboratory course practice allows required skill development under instructor supervision to immediately correct techniques during practice labs. Increasing laboratory practice over three terms aligns Restorative Dentistry instruction aligns with the other Dental Hygiene Programs in the state.	
What assessment evidence supports this proposal? 	
Student success during licensure exams does not meet program expectations.  A Comparison Study of Northwest colleges indicate higher pass rates for licensure examinations with greater laboratory practice within the curriculum.  Lane Dental Hygiene students must have increased lab practice to support the rigors of the restorative licensure examination.	
How do you know there is a demand for this course?   Required in the dental hygiene curriculum.  	

Section 3. Curriculum Equity http://www.lanecc.edu/copps 
To promote an environment where all learners are encouraged to develop their full potential, this course will support Lane’s Curriculum Equity policy in the following way(s):
Encouragement of all men, women, minorities and people with disabilities to consider all kinds of occupations with emphasis on utilizing their Restorative Endorsement with their Dental Hygiene License.

Promotion of a leaning environment where all learners are encouraged to develop to their full potential.

Include content by and about culturally and ethnically diverse population in the course syllabi, teaching methodology and evaluation practices whenever possible.

Section 6. Overlap Courses  (New course proposals must complete.)
While overlap of course materials is not necessarily a flaw, duplication of course materials may lead to inefficient use of college resources. If there is overlap, the faculty of overlapping courses must agree on the extent of overlap and attach a rationale explaining its necessity if  it is more then 10%.

Indicate all departments/courses that this course may overlap. Division Dean of existing course enters one of two options at right. Note: N/A is not an option.

Options:
1.  No overlap.
2.  Approved: overlap is acceptable. Rationale attached.
3.  Disapproved: reasons attached.

Section 8. Library Impact Statement
Under accreditation standards, Library consultation is essential for new programs, new courses and for substantively revised courses when the revisions entail any change in library use. 

What assignments will require the use of library and information resources? 
Students will do research on restorative materials and dental restorative practice philosophies utilizing both onsite and online library resources.

Each academic area has a Liaison Librarian http://www.lanecc.edu/library/services/liaison.htm. Contact the designated librarian to discuss the library needs of your course. Please allow the librarian at least one week to assess library resources.

To be completed by Liaison Librarian:
 Library resources are adequate to support this proposal.
 Additional resources are needed but can be obtained from current funds. 
 Significant additional Library funds/resources are required to support this proposal.
