Improvement Planning Process
Annual Improvement Plan – Template & Instructions
The interpretation and use of assessment results has historically been conducted at the department and program level, but we are also currently in the process of developing a new process for planning improvements to instruction, curriculum, and support services using a consistent Improvement Planning Worksheet. See the Institutional Assessment Improvement Plan for an example of its use at the institution level for the 2017 Assessment Cycle.
Use of Assessment Results
See the 2016 Use of Results Overview for examples of how various programs are interpreting and using results to plan improvements and “Close the Loop” based on assessment data for each of PCC’s 5 Institution-level Student Learning Outcomes.
