New Strategic Plan Values
Learning Inclusiveness Accountability Excellence Integrity Accessibility Innovation
We Seek to….. Put learning first in/through:
Policy, programs and practice Experiences offered to students Engaging learners Collaborative learning activities Documenting learning Improving learning Continuous commitment over the long term
The World of Higher Education Is an evolving world Change has become the norm so we must be
able to respond fast Daily dealing with ambiguity Heading into an unknown future (a path
where we can’t see the end)
New Strategic Plan
The Focus is Learning Taking a collective responsibility for learning Collaboration and integration of programs,
processes and services Emphasis will be on cross-unit planning
In Order to Focus on Learning How can we help each other build
connections and collaborations to facilitate learning?
What can we do (as major contributing units) to help the entire college take a collective responsibility for learning?
Take 20 minutes…….
Another Difference - Only Six Goals
1. Ensure Student Success by all employees assuming collective responsibility for placing the needs of learners first.
2. Foster an organizational culture that makes learning the primary value in every action of the College.
3. Promote the health and economic vitality of the community through partnerships, coalitions, and collaborations.
Only Six Goals:4. Plan and coordinate student enrollment, programs,
services, and facilities to meet community needs.5. Increase available public and private funds for
educational programs, capital projects and, general operations.
6. Improve learning outcomes and College programs, processes, and services through a systematic and continuous process of planning, assessment, and improvement.

Our New Annual Process The strategic goals are
set. The major units set unit objectives. Individual departments in that unit create action items. Individuals within departments will have projects on their PDP that align with the department’s action items.

What is a Goal A statement of a quantifiable desired future state or
condition It is driven by the mission A goal:
lacks deadlines is usually long-range is relatively broad in scope provides guidance for the establishment of objectives (the specifics)
What is a Goal It is reported on anecdotally It is accomplished by activities It takes several goals to accomplish a mission
statement It takes several objectives to accomplish a
goal
Due to the nature of goals, the College may never fully accomplish a goal……but the College will makes progress toward the fulfillment of a goal through meeting multiple objectives.
What is an Objective?
A short-term, measurable, specific activity having a time limit or timeline for completion
They are used to reach goals They specify who, will do what, under what
condition, by what standard and within what time period
They state what you will do in a form that can be measured after the appropriate amount of time.
Example Piece of Mission …. To advance the lifelong educational
development of students…. Goal … engage students as responsible partners in the
lifelong learning process. Objective …. To develop a service learning program at
CPCC by June 30, 2004. Action Items …. To recruit 30 students to participate during
2003-04. To involve and train 20 faculty and staff and 10 businesses during 2003-04.
PDP Project … To organize and offer one workshop on service learning for the college during the 2003-04 year.
How to Set Objectives There’s no magic number
e.g. 80% vs. 90% - 20 people vs. 100 What is reasonable? What can you afford? What realistically can your staff accomplish? May need to benchmark (e.g. enrollment growth) What percent shows you’re not committed and
what percent shows you’re naïve?
How to Set Objectives Examples:
Fifty percent of students will be able to communicate effectively in writing (complete the writing exam with a grade of 60 [D] or better)
By the end of the spring term, 95% of faculty and staff will have completed 20 contact hours of professional development (workshops, college courses, conferences, onsite trainings, etc.)
More Realistic Seventy percent of students will be able to
communicate effectively in writing (complete the writing exam with a grade of 75 [C+] or better)
By the end of the spring term, the professional development office will increase their offerings for faculty and staff by 10% over what was offered last year (workshops, college courses, conferences, onsite trainings, etc.)
How to Set Objectives The first time you set objectives, be
conservative Don’t pull a rabbit out of your hat (e.g. let’s
grow enrollment by 10%) Don’t set a goal for your area when another
area has to perform to meet it (you don’t have control over the outcome)
It will take a few years to get it right
Implementation in 2004-2005 Set only a few objectives and action plans Make them measurable (under old process,
we set goals and didn’t measure them) Only create objectives and action plans for
those areas over which you have control Make them reasonable (with budget and
staffing constraints)
Questions How hard will this be to implement? What is the easiest way to train people? You are the College’s administrators…. Can
you do this? How hard will it be for all departments to fit
under the goals?
Suggestions for Implementation
