To ensure that the college’s strategic planning process is sound, collaborative, evidence-based, and sustainable; and that the Strategic Plan guides decision-making and activities that support the improvement of institutional effectiveness and both student learning and success.
As a key component of achieving the goals outlined in the Strategic Plan, the integrated planning and resource allocation model, coupled with ongoing
reviews of programs and services, provides systematic data-driven information that allows the college to examine the overall effectiveness of the institution. Therefore, the Committee is responsible for ensuring:
- Ongoing and systematic evaluation of identified goals and planning to refine key processes and improve student learning.
- Dialogue about institutional effectiveness is ongoing, robust, and pervasive.
- Data and analyses are widely communicated and used throughout the institution.
- Ongoing review, evaluation, and adaptation of planning processes.
- Consistent and continuous commitment to improving student learning and success.
- Educational effectiveness is a demonstrable priority in all planning structures and processes.
