This data includes Jan 2020 commission actions from fall 2019 team visits.

Starting from the most broad view, the number of improvement recommendations decrease as the standard numbers increases:

Below is another view of compliance recommendations looking at percentages.

Stepping in closer, the two standards with the highest improvement recommendations are Institutional Effectiveness (I.B.5-9) and Instructional Programs (II.A.1-16).

Stepping in closer within each of the four standards, one can see the specific standard components that receive the most recommendations.

In Standard I, the most improvement recommendations go to I.B.9 (continuous, broad based, systemic evaluation and planning) with 24 recommendations noting this standard. It was followed by several assessment related standards, I.B.2-8. Prior to adding January 2018 Commission actions, I.B.6 (Disaggregation of SLO Data) was the highest.

In standard II, standard II.A.3 (SLO assessment) had the highest number of improvement recommendations. It has not quite twice as much more than the next highest recommendation s.

In Standard III, standards III.D.2 (mission and goals being used as the foundation for financial planning which integrates and supports all planning, policies and procedures for sound financial practices and procedures, and financial information is disseminated in a timely manner) and III.A.14 (professional development opportunities, evaluating and improving the professional development opportunities) had the highest number of recommendations.

In Standard IV, the most improvement recommendations went to IV.A.7 (evaluating leadership, governance, and decision making to make improvements and communicate results widely). Followed by IV.A.6 (documenting and communicating decision making process and resulting decisions).

Conclusion:

The main themes revolve around:

• Continuous quality improvement through evaluation and planning and using data, including SLO and disaggregated assessment data
• Fiscal planning using the college mission and goals for distributing resources
• Communicating results of evaluating decision making to make institutional improvements
• Evaluation of leadership, governance, & decisions making
