1. Institutional Effectiveness at CPCC DENISE H WELLS

2. What is Institutional Effectiveness? IE consists of a set of ongoing and systematic institutional processes and practices that include planning, the evaluation of programs and services, the identification and measurement of outcomes across all institutional units (including learning outcomes in instructional programs) and the use of data and assessment results to inform decision‐making. All of these activities are accomplished with the purpose of improving programs, services, student success and institutional quality. Institute on Best Practices in IE 2015

3. Comprehensive Standard 2.5 states The institution Engages in ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research-based planning and evaluation processes, that 1) incorporate a systematic review of institutional mission, goals and outcomes; 2) result in continuous improvement in instructional quality; and demonstrate the institution is effectively accomplishing its mission Comprehensive Standard 3.3.1 states “The institution identifies expected outcomes for its educational programs and its administrative and educational support services; assesses whether it achieves these outcomes; provides evidence of improvement based on analysis of those results.” Comprehensive Standard 3.5.1 states “ The institution identifies college-level competencies within the general education core and provides evidence that graduates have attained those competencies.” SACS and IE

4. IE needs to be… Ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research- based planning and evaluation processes that include: ◦a systematic review of institutional mission, goals and outcomes ◦Which result in continuing improvement in institutional quality ◦And demonstrates that the institution is effectively accomplishing its mission

5. Measuring outcomes…  All the accrediting agencies want colleges and universities to establish purpose statements, measureable objectives or outcomes in administrative and student services areas, to asses if those are met and used the results to improve institutional quality  Outcomes should be measured using the following criteria: ◦driven by mission ◦related to overall strategic goals ◦specific to the activities in your area ◦determined by front line staff ◦measured carefully and specifically

6. So an institution needs to put in place ….  A list of expected outcomes  Assessment of those outcomes  Evidence of improvement, based on analysis of those outcome results in each of the following areas: ◦educational programs (student learning outcomes at the program and individual level) ◦administrative support services ◦educational support services  Identified college-level general education competencies (based on best practices in assessment) and provide evidence that graduates have attained them

7. The Process at CPCC The Institutional Effectiveness Plan is a four- pronged approach: 1.Annual goal setting 2.Annual review of programs and units (cycle) 3.The assessment of general education 4.The College’s annual assessment plan

8. Annual Goal Setting  The College establishes strategic goals through the strategic planning process (Board and Cabinet approve every fall)  Individual units set performance objectives to support the College’s goals in the Spring  Mid-year and end-of-year progress reports are made (December and May)  The Institutional Effectiveness Report is written in the Summer and distributed at the Fall Forum

9. Unit and Program Reviews  All College units are reviewed on a cycle ◦All instructional programs ◦All Administrative Services units, Enrollment and Student Services units and units reporting to the President’s Office  Completed program reviews go to the Vice President of each unit; Results are reported to their councils, the Cabinet and then college-wide ◦Needs and future issues are identified ◦Implications for planning and budgeting are addressed

10. General Education Goals  A General Education Committee revised the goals in 2000- 2001 and created an assessment process for the College  In order to measure general education goals, a portfolio is created each year that includes: ◦Definitions of competencies by general education area ◦Learning outcome targets ◦Sample works ◦A full report by each individual general education area  PROCESS IS CHANGING FOR 2016

11. College’s Assessment Program  Each year (based on a predetermined cycle) the following surveys/reports are done and reported to the college community: ◦Graduate Follow-up Survey ◦Faculty-staff Survey ◦Current Student Survey (curriculum, literacy and CCE) ◦Enhanced Accountability Report ◦Program Review Surveys ◦Student Opinion Surveys

12. Performance Measures

13. Mandate for Accountability Senate Bill 1366, Section 10.5 ◦The General Assembly finds that the current annual program review standards are not adequate to ensure that programs are meeting the needs of students, employers, and the general public; therefore, the State Board of Community Colleges shall review the current standard to ensure a higher degree of program accountability and shall establish appropriate levels of performance for each measure based on sound methodological practices.
