VC Objective 2: Revise program review process to integrate SLOs and a more meaningful analysis of data
VCCCD Board Goal 1: Access and Student Success
VC Accreditation Recommendation: In order to fully meet this standard the team recommends that the college must increase its research capacity to serve the programs and fully integrate its research efforts into the program review process. Further Student Learning Outcomes need to become an integral part of the Program Review process, including incorporating the research function, detailed discussions, and appropriate analysis from SLO data research (Accreditation Standard I.B.1, I.B.2., II.B.1, II.B.3.a, II.B.3.c, II.B.4, ER 10 and 19). In order to fully meet this standard the team recommends that the college strengthen the content of its program review process to include a comprehensive and meaningful analysis of data with particular emphasis on student demographics, enrollment, program completion, retention, success, and achievement of student learning outcomes. Improvements to its programs should then be based on these results. (Accreditation Standard I.B.3, II.A.1.c, II.A.2.a-b, II.A.2.e, II.C.2.i, II.B.2., II.B.3-4, II.C.2)
