Institutional Effectiveness

Institutional Effectiveness

Institutional effectiveness (IE) is a continuous process at our College, involving planning, allocating resources, and assessment. Its purpose is to make sure we fulfill our mission. IE aligns all areas of the college with the priorities established in TBCC’s strategic plan. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) oversees this, but everyone contributes to IE. 

The College’s IE processes include continuous improvement cycles at the college-wide and team or operational level. Strategic projects are designed to drive improvement in one or more objectives. Institutional Planning is the annual assessment of progress toward achieving the College’s priorities and objectives. Strategic plan measures in each priority are evaluated to assess mission fulfillment.

Continuous improvement also occurs within administrative teams, with the process being captured in SAO plans. Each team develops a set of Service Area Outcomes (SAOs), which are statements about the quality, efficiency, or effectiveness of the services or processes that team provides. SAOs align with objectives within the strategic plan, as each team’s work aligns with the College’s mission. These plans track the activities of the team, and annually progress is assessed using relevant metrics. SAO plans are tracked using Weave, a software solution which supports aligning SAO and strategic planning activities and metrics.   

(For more information on creating SAO’s, see the Service Area Outcomes and Assessment Guide)  

Program and Service Area Reviews

Each service area and instructional program conducts a systematic review as a part of the institutional effectiveness process every five years. Instruction Program Review assesses the content, direction and quality of an instructional program conducted by faculty and are in support of quality improvement. The process and structure of program reviews is described fully in the Instructional Program Review Handbook.  

Service Area Reviews similarly are conducted by teams and are designed to provide information about the services provided by the service area, list key SAOs, assess metrics used, analyze data collected in the service area, and describe projects conducted in past years. The review also includes a SWOT analysis as a tool to monitor both the internal and external environment of the College, identify current and emerging trends and any potential trends which could impact the services provided by the service area.
