Student Success Measures

2018-2021 Strategic PlanSummaryNash Community College (NCC) engages in regular ongoing, institution-wide, research-based, data-driven planning and evaluation. In an effort to ensure the Institution’s com-mitment to continuous improvement, the NCC Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) meets at least annually to Assess, Plan, Implement, and Evaluate (APIE) all aspects of the College’s planning cycle (Attachment 1: APIE Planning Cycle). The annual review evaluates current

12

The College

practices, and makes proactive improvements to ensure adherence to the College’s mission (Attachment 2: SPC Meeting Agenda/Minutes). The SPC is comprised of the President, Vice Presidents, Associate Vice Presidents, Deans, Associate Deans, Department Chairs, Direc-tors, and a representative from the Faculty Senate. The SPC considers the collective out-comes and achievements of the College to assess progress towards meeting college-wide goals and objectives. The development of the College’s most recent 2018-2021 Strategic Plan (SP) includes a review and evaluation of the previous plan (Attachment 3: Summary of 2014-2017 SP). The summary provided the Committee with a solid informational founda-tion to formulate a new three-year data driven continuous improvement cycle. A major part of the evaluation and analysis included a “mission destruction” activity that gave the Committee an opportunity to identify major components of the College’s mission including an alignment of goals and objectives. This analysis provided an opportunity for the SPC to ensure that the 2018-2021 goals continue to be relevant and align with the College’s mis-sion. The SPC worked in full committee to develop the new goals. Subcommittees were assigned and meetings were held to refine the goal statements and to add objectives and strategies. The SPC reconvened in full committee to review the subcommittees’ feedback. A gallery walk exercise provided the entire committee an opportunity to provide feedback/input for each goal.

The NCC 2018-2021 Strategic Plan was reviewed by the President’s Executive Council (PEC), the President’s Administrative Council (PAC), faculty, community stakeholders, includ-ing students and the NCC Board of Trustees. All relevant feedback has been incorporated into the final draft which was reviewed by the President and the Board of Trustees, prior to implementation.

The SPC will conduct an annual review of the NCC 2018-2021 SP, which will include an evalu-ation of the measurable outcomes associated with each of the goals. Based on findings of the annual review, the Committee will make recommendations and develop an action plan

13

The College

that will reflect a cycle of continuous improvement for the duration of the 2018-2021 Strate-gic Planning Cycle. Annually, the SPC will also report its findings and recommendations to the President and Board of Trustees.

Comprehensive Cycle of Continuous ImprovementNash Community College’s ongoing comprehensive cycle of planning and evaluation is centered on Assessment, Improvement, Planning, Intervention, and Evaluation (APIE) (At-tachment 2, APIE Planning Cycle). The College evaluates and assesses all academic and non-academic programs and institutional services.

Academic program evaluations are completed annually in conjunction with advisory com-mittees that provide stakeholder input. All departments are required to complete a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis for all programs.

All employees are provided the opportunity for departmental, programmatic, and college-wide input through advisory participation, surveys and committee assignments. Students are able to provide feedback on academic and non-academic programs, faculty, instruction, and intuitional services through course evaluations (Attachment 4: sample – student evalu-ation) and advisory committee participation (Attachment 5: sample – Advisory Commit-tee Roster). All institutional services and non-academic programs also undergo an advisory committee evaluation process, which allow stakeholders to provide input and complete a SWOT analysis to help determine the effectiveness of the programs and services. All result-ing data is analyzed and incorporated into the continuous improvement cycle.
