21. This Was An Issue Because….

22. Fall Curriculum Headcount 10 Year History - CPCC Data

23. Curriculum Sections Offered 10 Year History - CPCC Data

24. We Have Issues with Student Success  We participated in the National Community College Benchmarking Project  Participants were other League schools  We collected and benchmarked data on multiple student outcomes

25. Student Success in Core Academic Areas (A-C Grades from Exit Codes) English Comp I Min.Med. Max.CPCC 54.2%72.4%86.0%58.0% English Comp II Min.Med. Max.CPCC 50.5%66.4%84.5%50.5% College Algebra Min.Med. Max.CPCC 37.7%58.1%76.9%37.7% Speech Min.Med. Max.CPCC 60.2%76.0%89.0%60.2%

27. Graduation Rates  Still only 8% of our first-time, full-time credential-seeking students receive a degree, certificate or diploma within 150% of the allotted time (3 yrs).

28. New Strategic Plan  Values Learning Inclusiveness Accountability Excellence Integrity Accessibility Innovation

29. We Seek to…..  Put learning first in/through: Policy, programs and practice Experiences offered to students Engaging learners Collaborative learning activities Documenting learning Improving learning Continuous commitment over the long term

30. The World of Higher Education  Is an evolving world  Change has become the norm so we must be able to respond fast  Daily dealing with ambiguity  Heading into an unknown future (a path where we can’t see the end)

31. New Strategic Plan  The Focus is Learning Taking a collective responsibility for learning Collaboration and integration of programs, processes and services Emphasis will be on cross-unit planning

32. In Order to Focus on Learning  How can we help each other build connections and collaborations to facilitate learning?  What can we do (as major contributing units) to help the entire college take a collective responsibility for learning?

33. Take 20 minutes…….

34. Another Difference - Only Six Goals 1. Ensure Student Success by all employees assuming collective responsibility for placing the needs of learners first. 2. Foster an organizational culture that makes learning the primary value in every action of the College. 3. Promote the health and economic vitality of the community through partnerships, coalitions, and collaborations.

35. Only Six Goals: 4. Plan and coordinate student enrollment, programs, services, and facilities to meet community needs. 5. Increase available public and private funds for educational programs, capital projects and, general operations. 6. Improve learning outcomes and College programs, processes, and services through a systematic and continuous process of planning, assessment, and improvement.

36. How it Works… Mission Goals Unit Objectives Unit Objectives Goals Unit Objectives Unit Objectives Goals Unit Objectives Unit Objectives ValuesPhilosophy

37. Our New Annual Process  The strategic goals are set. The major units set unit objectives. Individual departments in that unit create action items. Individuals within departments will have projects on their PDP that align with the department’s action items. Mission College Goal Unit Objectives Department Action Items PDP Activities College Goal Unit Objectives Department Action Items PDP Activities College Goal Unit Objectives Department Action Items PDP Activities

38. What is a Goal  A statement of a quantifiable desired future state or condition  It is driven by the mission  A goal: lacks deadlines is usually long-range is relatively broad in scope provides guidance for the establishment of objectives (the specifics)

39. What is a Goal  It is reported on anecdotally  It is accomplished by activities  It takes several goals to accomplish a mission statement  It takes several objectives to accomplish a goal

40. Due to the nature of goals, the College may never fully accomplish a goal… …but the College will makes progress toward the fulfillment of a goal through meeting multiple objectives.

41. What is an Objective?  A short-term, measurable, specific activity having a time limit or timeline for completion  They are used to reach goals  They specify who, will do what, under what condition, by what standard and within what time period  They state what you will do in a form that can be measured after the appropriate amount of time.

42. Example  Piece of Mission …. To advance the lifelong educational development of students….  Goal … engage students as responsible partners in the lifelong learning process.  Objective …. To develop a service learning program at CPCC by June 30, 2004.  Action Items …. To recruit 30 students to participate during 2003-04. To involve and train 20 faculty and staff and 10 businesses during 2003-04.  PDP Project … To organize and offer one workshop on service learning for the college during the 2003-04 year.

43. How to Set Objectives  There’s no magic number e.g. 80% vs. 90% - 20 people vs. 100 What is reasonable? What can you afford? What realistically can your staff accomplish? May need to benchmark (e.g. enrollment growth) What percent shows you’re not committed and what percent shows you’re naïve?

44. How to Set Objectives  Examples: Fifty percent of students will be able to communicate effectively in writing (complete the writing exam with a grade of 60 [D] or better) By the end of the spring term, 95% of faculty and staff will have completed 20 contact hours of professional development (workshops, college courses, conferences, onsite trainings, etc.)

45. More Realistic Seventy percent of students will be able to communicate effectively in writing (complete the writing exam with a grade of 75 [C+] or better) By the end of the spring term, the professional development office will increase their offerings for faculty and staff by 10% over what was offered last year (workshops, college courses, conferences, onsite trainings, etc.)

46. How to Set Objectives  The first time you set objectives, be conservative  Don’t pull a rabbit out of your hat (e.g. let’s grow enrollment by 10%)  Don’t set a goal for your area when another area has to perform to meet it (you don’t have control over the outcome)  It will take a few years to get it right

47. Implementation in 2004-2005  Set only a few objectives and action plans  Make them measurable (under old process, we set goals and didn’t measure them)  Only create objectives and action plans for those areas over which you have control  Make them reasonable (with budget and staffing constraints)

48. Questions  How hard will this be to implement?  What is the easiest way to train people?  You are the College’s administrators…. Can you do this?  How hard will it be for all departments to fit under the goals?

49. Suggestions for Implementation
