Strategic Planning Template - LaGuardia Community College



Strategic Planning Template, 2014-15LaGuardia Community College’s mission is to educate and graduate one of the most diverse student populations in the country to become critical thinkers and socially responsible citizens who help to shape a rapidly evolving society.The City University of New York follows a performance management process (PMP) that links planning and goal setting by the University and its colleges and professional schools, measures annual progress towards key goals, and recognizes excellent performance. The college targets reflect differences in campus missions, resources and circumstances, and recognize that the colleges all start from different performance baselines. We are able and encouraged to develop our own targets based on our specific needs, goals, and mission. Our Strategic Plan is largely grounded in the CUNY PMP. The purpose of the PMP is to:To ensure clarity about University and college priorities and expectations for the year.To recognize and acknowledge progress at all levels.To unite a diverse set of colleges into an integrated University.To introduce more accountability into the system.To ensure that the Master Plan guides the plans and priorities of the colleges while each retains its own identity, mission, and governance.cuny.edu/about/administration/chancellor/performance-goals.html INSTRUCTIONS:Based on LaGuardia’s 2013-14 Strategic Plan targets and the broad College community input from the recent Strategic Plan solicitation survey, each division will develop three to five complete targets and work plans for 2014-15 using the revised template detailed below with five “focus areas.” These activities are intended to be strategic; please don’t include objectives, goals, and or targets which are considered ‘daily business.’ Be specific with the identified objectives, activities, assessment, resources, and any cross-divisional involvement. Every proposed target should clearly explain how the intended result will support /enhance student learning as well as what milestone or outcomes you will be able to report on by May 2015. With an overarching continued focus of improving our retention and graduation rates, we ask that ALL DIVISIONS develop three to five targets and detailed work plans that connect to the following five key college priorities (i.e. “focus areas”) in addition to one target that explicitly address retention or graduation: 1) Strengthen Advisement, First Year Experience and other Alignment initiatives2) Deepen the use of Digital Technology to support student learning and success 3) Engage LaGuardia’s Outcomes Assessment process to improve student learning 4) Strengthen the connection between college learning experiences and the evolving labor market 5) Advance Global Learning – prepare students to address our signature competency and develop as global citizens*Any department or unit with programs that are undergoing a Periodic Program Review (PPR) – either during a preparatory, active, or one of three implementation years, must additionally provide a target and work plan that details their program assessment work.Note: A proposed target/ work plan could fulfill multiple priorities; for example an alignment target may also count as a retention/ graduation goal. Global learning can address the labor market focus area as another example. Fill out up to five 2014-15 Strategic Plan target templates provided below. Submit these VP sanctioned work plans to Dr. Bernard A. Polnariev @ BPolnariev@lagcc.cuny.edu with a CC to Associate Dean Bret Eynon @ BEynon@lagcc.cuny.edu no later than April 7, 2014.
