PROGRAM REVIEW FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND BUSINESS SERVICES WHY??
Program review is required for administrative and business services with the expectation that these reviews will: • Assess and evaluate the program’s impact on student learning • Inform long and short term planning • Inform budget recommendations • Collect and analyze information that will be useful in the accreditation process, academic program review deliberation, and college-wide assessment
It’s a lot of work…Therefore, Keep It Simple! • Borrow from others • Make it fit your school • Share the pain – get many people involved in small parts
ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAM REVIEW CONTENT • Introduction • A brief description of the unit under review • Relationship of the unit to the college mission and strategic plan
ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAM REVIEW CONTENT • Description of the unit • Programs, services, activities, special accomplishments • Key constituents • Dissemination activities • Relationship to or support for other programs Including areas of cooperation & collaboration • Personnel Resources • Financial Resources • Facilities/Equipment • Influencing Factors (Categorical funding/legal mandates) (Use a good visual/organizational chart. Saves writing a lot of words.)
ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAM REVIEW CONTENT • Goals and Outcomes • Identify goals of the unit • Identify measurable objectives or outcomes for each goal (Remember – the more goals, the more outcomes, the more measuring, so stay broad.)
Self-Study Assessment • Assessing the quality of the unit • Programs and services as reported in evaluations provided by clients/constituents (Tie this to the goals and outcomes you have identified for the unit.) • Procedures and effectiveness as reported in evaluations provided by staff and managers (Tie this to the goals and outcomes you have identified for the unit.)
Assessment Continued… • Assessing the demand for the unit • Demand for programs and services from clients or constituents • Demand for programs and services from other units • Unmet needs
Which leads you conveniently to $$$$ Financial Resources • Current use of financial resources • Adequacy of financial resources • Unmet needs • Facilities • Equipment/supplies/technology • Personnel
