Announcements
Last year, the Instructional Program Review and Planning Committee reviewed and revised the comprehensive Instructional PRP form. In addition to a new comprehensive form, both the instructional and non-instructional program review cycles have been extended to four years. Disciplines/units will complete a comprehensive review only once every four years, with annual updates in between.
Purpose
The College assesses progress toward achieving stated goals and makes decisions regarding the improvement of institutional effectiveness in an ongoing and systematic cycle of evaluation, integrated planning, resource allocation, implementation, and re-evaluation. Evaluation of instructional and non-instructional programs is based on analyses of both quantitative and qualitative data. The PRP process was used to prioritize funding for approved requests, which can be accessed in the link below.
Process
Instructional programs and Non-instructional units participate in a four-year cycle of Program Review and Planning. In year one, programs complete a comprehensive plan/review. In years two, three, and four, programs provide annual updates to the comprehensive review. The Program Review and Planning process begins in the spring semester.
The best Program Review and Planning documents are created through a collaborative effort! We ask that academic disciplines and non-instructional units engage their full and part-time faculty or staff, when possible, in completing their reviews.
