Welcome Strategic Planning Team!

1. WelcomeStrategic Planning Team! North Orange County Community College District Spring 2006

2. Why Strategic Planning? • “If you don’t know where you are going…you probably won’t get there.” --Unknown • Why vision, mission, and goals? • To avoid confusing motion for progress • To insure that the ladder is against the correct wall

3. Accreditation Team Recommendations • The team recommends that the Board of Trustees and Chancellor implement a process to systematically develop and document strategic institutional goals for the District. The goals should: • Provide a framework for the colleges’ planning processes. (Standard IB.4) • Include a review of the District mission statement to ensure that the institutional goals align with the mission. (Standard IA.1) • Be reflected in the allocation of District resources. (Standard IIID.1) • The team recommends that the District Chancellor develop and implement an evaluation of the existing budget allocation model and make adjustments if appropriate to meet the needs of the entire District. (Standards IIID, IVB.3.c)

4. Strategic Planning vs. “Traditional” Master Planning

5. Trends in Higher Education • I. Escalating Demand in Postsecondary Education • The growth of the economy will require a better-educated workforce. • Population demographics are changing to include more diversity and older adults. • The largest growing part of the population is Latino, which typically has a lower college-going rate. • Many adults who would not otherwise do so, will be returning to school without basic skills. • Many other adults will become underemployed because of skill-set changes in the workforce or need to return to the workforce to supplement income.

6. Trends in Higher Education • For our District, this could mean: • Increased emphasis on basic skills, including English As a Second Language. • Increased emphasis on student support services for prospective (high school) and current students. • Curriculum changes to reflect evolving workforce skills. • Faculty staff development to work with diverse population and returning adult populations. • Partnerships with K-12, businesses, and other community organizations.

7. Trends in Higher Education • II. Continuously Changing Student “Mix” • The student population will change to include more: • Diversity – students of color, English-language learners, first-generation college students, adult students, and economically disadvantaged students. • Non-traditional students – financially independent, enrolled part-time, working full-time, enrolled after a delay following high school, with dependents, as single parents, and/or without a high school diploma.

8. Trends in Higher Education • For our District, this could mean: • Greater emphasis on providing learning opportunities appropriate for returning adults and non-traditional students (such as distance programming or shorter terms). • Operational changes to accommodate a larger number of students overall, including projected increase in the number of traditional students. • More financial aid or scholarship opportunities for part-time students. • More emphasis on support services for non-traditional students and partnerships with community organizations.

9. Trends in Higher Education • III. Funding Squeeze • Funding does not mirror enrollment changes and does not reflect the higher-costs to serve diverse student groups. • For our District, this could mean: • Greater emphasis on successful high-school to college transitions. • Broader and more diverse student recruiting efforts. • Greater emphasis on college completion for those starting a program. • Advocacy for more equitable funding mechanisms.
