Planning & Institutional Effectiveness
Planning defines the goals and actions needed to fulfill the college mission at both the institutional and department/program levels. Institutional Effectiveness is determining how well we are achieving our mission and goals.
Integrated Planning is a process linking human, physical, technological, and fiscal resources to the mission, vision, and priorities of the college. Integrated planning activities provide a structure for a cycle of ongoing evaluation, decision-making, and action that leads to continuous improvement in support of student learning and success. MPC’s integrated planning is designed to be a cycle of data-informed inquiry, feedback, and improvement. All planning processes at MPC follow a cycle of data-informed resource prioritization, allocation, implementation, evaluation, and improvement, as illustrated in the MPC Integrated Planning Model. Broadly speaking, planning activities involve developing, implementing, and evaluating the results of a plan. All integrated planning centers around the College mission and link to the Institutional Goals and Education Master Plan.
