BACKGROUND:
Instruction implemented planning processes during the 2012-2013 academic year. The priorities from each
program are included in this agenda item for review.
Instruction
The purpose of Instructional Planning is to recognize quality and assist in the continuous strengthening and
improvement of the college academic programs in the instructional component. The process is designed to:
Provide a rigorous examination of programs and their outcomes
Develop new insights into program effectiveness
Engage departments in planning program improvements that are responsive to student and community
needs
Provide information for resource allocation within departments and within the college.
All programs and services are reviewed every six years. The Council for Instructional Planning (CIP) determines
the order in which programs will be reviewed.
The goals of Instructional Planning are to:
Improve programs and services consistent with the College Master Plan and the California Community
College Mission
Determine department direction and goals for the next six years
Foster cooperation among college departments
Develop information to assist in the allocation of resources
Increase responsiveness to student and community needs
Improve response to external and demographic changes
Respond to state and federal mandates for accountability
Each spring semester the Council for Instructional Planning receives and reviews the Instructional Plans begun in
the prior academic year. These plans, based on a thorough review of internal and external data relative to the
individual program, determine and prioritize program directions for the next six years. Members of the CIP
critically read each of the plans and question the authors regarding the intent and clarity of the directions. Many
plans are revised based on CIP discussions. At the culmination of its study, the council establishes Instruction
Component priorities from among the directions contained in the plans. This spring semester, the CIP conducted
its review and set the priorities for the top third of all recommendations, which were forwarded to CPC. The
following priorities will be among several criteria for determining the budget allocations within the Instructional
component in future years.
