Integrating and Evaluating Planning Efforts Across the Institution
The Planning Working GroupAn Initiative of the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges
Viewer Discretion AdvisedThe materials you are about to see and activities you are about to participate in have been prepared by four practitioners who have nearly 100 years of combined experience in research and planning.
The materials are not a guarantee that your college’s planning processes will be magically transformed overnight but should provide some guidelines on how other colleges have integrated their planning processes in accordance with the ACCJC standards.
Please enjoy the show!

Planning1. Big Goals: Big Hairy Audacious Goals
(BHAGs)2. Supporting evidence for BHAGs3. Specific Objectives for Big Goals4. Goals and Objectives Drive Budget5. Include everyone6. Communicate early and often7. Action Plans8. Follow up

BHAG Activity – Part 11. Identify one or two BHAGs for your
department/unit/division on campus that you want to accomplish over the next 2-3 years.
2. Why is this is a goal for your department/unit/division (i.e., provide a justification for this goal)?
3. What evidence have you collected to justify this goal? If no evidence has been collected, what evidence needs to be collected?
4. What resources are needed to achieve this goal (staff, budget, coordination with other departments, etc.)?
5. Is this goal documented in any other plans?

Integrated Planning:California Community Colleges• Directly connect various planning processes
ACCJC Reports 20 college on sanctions because of integrated planning. (ACCJC Spring News, Spring 2012)
The Planning Working GroupAn Initiative of the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges
Integrated Planning Self-Assessment• Identify how your college integrates each of
the ACCJC key elements.• Cite specific evidence that demonstrates the
linkages in your plans (e.g., program review and budget).
• We’ll take a few minutes after the activity to share some examples from the activity.

Department Planning: Major Principles• College Mission• Department Mission• Educational and Facilities Master Plan• Objectives, especially from SLOs• Strategic Plan• Resource Allocation
• Councils review PRPs• Budgets requests linked to PRPs• Distribution of PRP funds • Division Budgets
• Councils use PRPs to identify divisional planning priorities for consideration in following year’s Institutional Strategic Plan

Department Planning: Mt. San Antonio College
Individual units document planning
efforts and accomplishments,
annually.
Deans, Directors, and V.P.s summarize unit
PIEs and submit report to e-PIE.
Four VPs submit summaries, including resource requests, to
Institutional Effectiveness
Committee (IEC)
IEC works with VPs to summarize annual
planning efforts for the President’s Advisory
Council (PAC).
Summaries from IEC may be translated by
PAC into new or revised college goals
and strategies for upcoming year PIE serves as the
vehicle for aligning College goals and institutional processes for evaluation, planning and resource allocation.

Examples of Evaluating Planning: Palomar College• Evaluates the Integrated Planning, Evaluation, and Resource
Allocation Decision-Making Model (IPM) and the Resource Allocation Model (RAM).
• Annually, the Strategic Planning Council (SPC) completes a formative evaluation and identifies ways to strengthen and improve the IPM.
• Upon completion of the three-year Strategic Planning cycle, SPC completes a summative evaluation to assess the effectiveness and outcomes of the IPM and RAM.
• See handout in your notebook for detailed information on the evaluation process.

BHAG Activity: Part 5-7
• Part 5 - How are faculty and staff engaged throughout the planning processes? How is engagement maintained through the processes?
• Part 6 - How is it implemented? How is effective use of the plans being documented? How is progress being monitored?
• Part 7 - How are these processes evaluated?

The Paradox of Consultants
• Fresh views and ideas
• Plans must be owned by the College and its Departments
The Planning Working GroupAn Initiative of the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges
Words of Encouragement
• Don’t be afraid to fail. • In good times and in bad times.• It’s a cultural change – stick with it.
• Budget development• Institutional Action Priorities from department
plans• Developing expertise takes time. Start now
because you will need to go through several iterations.
The Planning Working GroupAn Initiative of the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges
There is a Silver Lining!
• You’re developing tools to make the process of integrating planning efficient.
• It’s a disciplined process drawing from department plans.
• People feel they have a voice in the planning process, are more engaged, and take ownership of their plans.
• Integrated planning with budget results in better understanding of resource allocation amongst faculty and staff.

Review of Today’s Discussion and Activities
• Strategic Plan Sets Direction and Draws Exclusively from Department Plans, even through iterations
• Master Plan First Draft Draws from Department Plans: Follow up with an interview.
• Every Budget Request Connected to Department Objective
• Other District/College Plans Draws from Department Plans
• Peer Review
The Planning Working GroupAn Initiative of the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges
Final Activity: Part 8
• Reflect on the previous activities.• List the next steps with regard to planning
for your department, division or the college. • What aspects of the planning processes
need improvement? • What needs to happen to strengthen the
integration?
