Progress reports document the annual assessment of the College’s progress toward meeting its Institutional Goals, Institutional Outcomes, and KPIs.
Each department prepares quarterly progress reports on its work plans with evidence including updates on its progress toward any programmatic or strategic activities. The Institutional Effectiveness Committee (IEC, formerly IPC) collaborates with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment to prepare semi-annual progress reports on the Annual Prioritized College-wide Action Plan and the Strategic Plan.
The Progress Reports on the Annual Prioritized College-wide Action Plan inform the CMI community about progress on the initiatives identified in the Strategic Plan. These reports are distributed College-wide and are part of the data used in the preparation of the next year’s annual departmental work plans. The Progress Reports on the Strategic Plan informs the internal and external community about
progress on the activities identified in the Strategic Plan. These reports are distributed College-wide and are part of the data used to prepare subsequent master planning framework and strategic plans.
The Progress Reports on the Strategic Plan includes two components from the Institutional Research and Assessment office:
- A brief summary of the activities that have taken place in the past year directed to achievement of the Strategic Outcomes;
- An analysis of progress toward achievement of the Strategic Goals.
Based on the progress reports of the Strategic Plan and assessment of the current year’s work, IEC can make changes to the activities for the coming year. These two progress reports reinforce and sustain a College-wide dialogue on long-term and short-term goals. As such, they are an essential accountability component in the integrated planning cycle.
The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges standards most relevant to the production of annual progress reports are: I.B.1, I.B.2, I.B.3, I.B.4, I.B.5, I.B.6, I.B.7, I.B.8, I.B.9
