The Annual Prioritized College-wide Action Plan is a consolidation of the strategic plan activities and program review initiatives prepared and ranked by Institutional Effectiveness Committee. The IEC members use a prioritization matrix for scoring each activity/initiative, and the sum of their scores is used to rank and prioritize these activities/initiatives. The Plan is then submitted to the Executive Council (EC).
The EC shares this plan with its members for their review and input. The EC then reviews the Plan as well as input from the other committees as appropriate and finalizes the Annual Prioritized College-wide Action Plan that includes:
- A College-wide non-ranked list of Initiatives from all Program Reviews and Annual department plans that do not require resource allocations; and
- A College-wide prioritized list of Initiatives that require significant human resource prioritization from other departments or new resource allocations of $1,000 or more.
The status of the Initiatives documented in the Annual Prioritized College-wide Action Plan is evaluated annually. This Progress Report on the Annual Prioritized College-wide Action Plan is distributed to departments and is used to prepare the next year’s Work Plans. This report on progress is one of two types of annual Progress Reports (refer to the section on Progress Reports in this manual).
The Annual Prioritized College-wide Action Plan is linked to the Institutional Goals and Institutional Outcomes through the Prioritization Matrix that gives the highest scores to proposals that will contribute to the achievement of the Institutional Goals and/or Institutional Objectives and/ or that are the result of student learning outcome measurements (amongst other criteria).
