Guiding Principles of Program Review


The Program Review process is a formative assessment tool designed to enhance
organizational performance.
The program review guidelines are informed by, and serve to, advance the unique mission,
values, and aspirations of College of the Redwoods.
Therefore the primary reason for conducting program reviews is to ensure the continuation of
high quality programs and services in Instruction and Student Development and to ensure that
our offerings are central to the role and mission, planning priorities, and strategic goals of the
College.
General Summary —Resource Requests
The Instruction and Student Development leadership came to consensus on our resource request
rankings according to a rubric that’s been used for the past three years. The eight point scoring
rubric included:
1. Relationship to Institutional Plans: Does the request have a connection to the Strategic
Plan goals, Educational and other Master Plan goals, and annual plan objectives?
2. Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC): Does the
request have a connection to the ACCJC accreditation standards: Institutional Mission
and Effectiveness, Student Learning Programs and Services, Resources, and Leadership
and Governance?
3. Regulatory Compliance: Does the request respond to a statute (i.e., law), regulation, or
administrative procedure from an external agency?
4. Current Need: Does the request meet a current need (not a “nice to have” situation)?
5. Future Need: Does the staffing request meet a future (2014-2017) need (not a “nice to
have” situation) that has not shown itself yet?
6. Improves Program and Student Success: Will the request enhance the core functions,
efficiency, and/or effectiveness of the requestor’s program/department or is it a “nice to
have”?
7. Involves Other Units: Will the request incorporate and benefit other College
programs/department or is it limited to the requestor alone?
8. District-wide Impact: Will the request have district-wide impact?
1 Consensus was reached on the rankings and how to allocate the discretionary budgets, the
Instructional Equipment and Library Materials funds and basic skills funds. The requests not
funded from these sources were referred to the Vice President of Instruction and Student
Development and Vice President of Administrative Services for review and decision.
Below is an overview of the requests and decisions.
Instructional Personnel Requests
Four positions were requested from instructional program reviews. The ISS 1 for Art was
approved to be filled spring 2014. The funding for the position was from the reallocation of
Dean’s discretionary budget. The remaining positions will be referred to Cabinet for discussion
and decision.
Student Development Personnel Requests
Twelve positions were requested from student development program reviews. The CalWorks
positions (ranked 8 and 10) have been approved to be filled Spring 2014 since the positions are
categorically funded. All other positions will be referred to the appropriate reclassification
process or to the Cabinet for decision.
Staff Development Requests
Eight staff development resource request were submitted from instruction and student
development program reviews. Discretionary and basic skills funds have been identified as
sources to fund seven of the eight requests. Trainings delivered on campus will be coordinated
by the deans in cooperation with the Professional Development Committee. Purchases will go
through departments and cost centers as they have in the past. The Manufacturing Technology
“Professional development related to obtaining ATMAE accreditation” request (ranked 5) will
be referred to CTEA.
Operational Budget Requests
Sixty seven operational budget requests were submitted and ranked. Thirteen requests will be
referred to the BPC for prioritization, seven will be deferred to include in the infrastructure grant,
twenty eight requests will be funded through the Instructional Equipment and Library Material
funds ($29,339) four will be funded via reallocation of discretionary funds, two requests will
require further investigation and four will be referred to Cabinet or to the Distance Education and
Technology Planning committees for review.
Planning Budget Requests
Forty three planning budget requests were submitted from instruction and student development
program reviews. Six requests will be referred to the BPC for prioritization, seven will be
deferred to include in the infrastructure grant, eleven requests will be funded through the
Instructional Equipment and Library Material funds ($60,963), four will be funded through basic
skills funding ($29,475), five requests will be funded through Measure Q, three will be referred
to Cabinet or to the Distance Education and Technology Planning committees for review, and six
are either in process or have been approved for immediate action.
2 Equipment/Technology
Twenty seven requests were received. Three requests will be referred to the BPC for
prioritization, one will be deferred to include in the infrastructure grant, seven requests will be
funded through the Instructional Equipment and Library Material funds ($60,963), four requests
will be funded through Measure Q, five will be referred to dean and/or vice president for action,
one to the Distance Education and Technology Planning committees for review, and four are
either in process or have been approved for immediate action.
Facilities
Thirty three facilities resource requests were submitted in the program reviews. One request will
be referred to the BPC for prioritization, twenty one will be deferred to include in the
infrastructure grant, two requests will be funded through Measure Q, one will be referred to dean
and/or vice president for action, and seven are either in process or have been completed.
Action Plans
The leadership of the division ranked each action plan according to the agreed upon rubric. A
majority of the action plans to be implemented this year will significantly impact the college’s
ability to meet ACCJC standards and Chancellor’s Office mandates, respond to statutes and
laws, and increase student success and completion. The action that goes beyond departmental
purview and recommended for Cabinet approval is to:

Develop an Institutional Professional Development Center that includes associate faculty
support and a multicultural and diversity resource for faculty and staff.

For the time being, the art department would
like to start with free software like 123D
