The Legal and Professional Basis for Program Review

TITLE 5, Section 51022(a)

The governing board of each community college district shall, no later than July 1, 1984, develop, file

ACCJC STANDARDS

Standard 1B. Improving Institutional Effectiveness The institution demonstrates a conscious effort to produce and support student learning,

measures that learning, assesses how well learning is occurring, and makes changes to improve

student learning. The institution also organizes its key processes and allocates its resources to

effectively support student learning. The institution demonstrates its effectiveness by providing

1) evidence of the achievement of student learning outcomes and 2) evidence of institution and

program performance. The institution uses ongoing and systematic evaluation and planning to

refine its key processes and improve student learning.

1. The institution maintains an ongoing, collegial, self-reflective dialogue about the

continuous improvement of student learning and institutional processes.

2. The institution sets goals to improve its effectiveness consistent with its stated

purposes. The institution articulates its goals and states the objectives derived from

them in measurable terms so that the degree to which they are achieved can be

determined and widely discussed. The institutional members understand these goals

and work collaboratively toward their achievement.

3. The institution assesses progress toward achieving its stated goals and makes

decisions regarding the improvement of institutional effectiveness in an ongoing and

systematic cycle of evaluation, integrated planning, resource allocation,

implementation, and re-evaluation. Evaluation is based on analyses of both

quantitative and qualitative data.

4. The institution provides evidence that the planning process is broad-based, offers

opportunities for input by appropriate constituencies, allocates necessary resources,

and leads to improvement of institutional effectiveness.

5. The institution uses documented assessment results to communicate matters of quality

assurance to appropriate constituencies.

6. The institution assures the effectiveness of its ongoing planning and resource

allocation processes by systematically reviewing and modifying, as appropriate, all

parts of the cycle, including institutional and other research efforts.

The institution assesses its evaluation mechanisms through a systematic review of their

effectiveness in improving instructional programs, student support services, and library and

other learning support services.
