Program Review       Windward Community College Planning and Decision-making Process   Program Review Timeline and Cycle   Community Colleges Policy for Annual Assessments and Program Reviews           Windward Community College decision-making is based on the strategic priorities established by the college in its Strategic Plan. The priorities of the Strategic Plan are based on systematic empirical review of all college programs found in Annual Assessment Reports and five year Program Reviews. Annual Assessment Reports and Program Reviews are conducted on all academic programs and support units to provide data on which planning and budgeting decisions can be based. The overall focus of the empirical review is the collection, analysis, presentation and use of evidence to ensure that a high quality of education is being provided to students and that the mission of the college is being achieved. The process provides data from which the college can make informed decisions in the improvement of student learning and resource allocation. 2005-6 Reports and Reviews  The Strategic Plan is updated annually by the Strategic Planning Committee based on Annual Assessment Reports and Program Reviews. Each year after updating, the revised Strategic Plan goes, with department and unit requests, to the Budget Committee. In February, the Budget Committee reviews department and unit requests in conjunction with the Strategic Plan, and drafts a recommended operating budget and a legislative budget request. This process assures that college resources are directed effectively to those programs that show demonstrated need. It assures our legislators, taxpayers, and tuition paying students that the college is making optimum use of resources to provide quality education.                                 Program Reviews and "works in progress"       Templates   Agricultural Technology and Plant Landscaping CC 2006     ETC   Art ASC 2006 draft     ASCs   BRT - Develpment and Management ASC           Business ASC 2006     Meeting Information   Developmental Education 2006 draft     August 15, 2006   Hawaiian Studies ASC 2006 draft         Plant Biotechnology ASC 2006 draft         PSDS ASC 2006 draft
