One-Year Strategic Plan 7/1/2011 to 6/30/2012 “The Number One Agenda, Closing the Achievement Gap: Dual Credit, Performance Funding, and Dropout Re-enrollment Made Real”
The Number One AgendaThe Vision Under the leadership of the internal Senior Team of IBHE, there are initiatives underway to increase college readiness and completion and enact a law instituting performance funding. To complement these activities and move forward in the achievement of the Illinois Public Agenda for College and Career Success, it is imperative that a new one-year plan be implemented. By June 30, 2012, the following four goals would have been pursued and hopefully achieved:
