3) Six-year Outcomes Based Program Review Plan
The following summary was provided by Jim Haynes.
"The other PBTs have seen the latest proposal to adopt the six-year Outcomes Based Program Review plan (see attached). The updated proposal plan is to conduct our review of the educational master plan (including: Mission, ICC, Strategic Initiatives, etc.) in 2014-15. We hope the PBTs will approve plan but also recognize and approve to move the comprehensive (Mega) program review to 2013-14, the year before the ed. master plan review. This action will change the program review process in that in addition to reviewing how a program area is doing in relationship to the major guiding documents, programs will now be asked to inform the ed. master plan review process through their Mega Reviews. This would entail including criteria in the Mega review addressing trends, future directions, what plans need to be implemented based on assessment results, etc. Program Reviews would continue to be annually updated in the years between the Mega Reviews to keep their program information current and reflective of their ongoing outcomes assessment activities. With their acceptance of this plan, the IPBT and the SSPBT are already in the process to determine the criteria for the Mega Review and the annual updates. We want to be sure the FERPBT is also on board. Could you put this on your FERPBT agenda for next week (Dec. 8) and ask for general agreement that this is the right direction to proceed?"
Anderson explained that the college needed a campus wide evaluation process for self-improvement and accreditation purposes. This planning chart would provide a tool for thoughtful decision making. Anderson reported that the IPBT and SSPBT had endorsed the concept and asked for the group’s support for the concept of the proposed planning chart.
The group supported the concept of the planning chart. Having been approved by the PBT groups, it would now go to College Council for review and approval.
