At ����������Ƶ, we’re dedicated to providing an exceptional learning experience for every student. Central to this commitment is our Educational Quality Framework.

��

Our Approach

The Educational Quality Framework, which drives continuous improvement in curriculum development and review activities for ����������Ƶ’s credentialed programs and credit offerings, ensures that programs remain current, relevant, and of the highest quality. ��In alignment with the college’s 2023-2028 strategic priorities, these activities support our goal of providing education that prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of the future:

1. Annual Program Snapshot (launching Fall 2023):

   • provides an opportunity to reflect on accomplishments, as well as identify trends, opportunities, or challenges for the upcoming year
   • provides data to inform the more in-depth program review process

��

2. Program Review:

   • program evaluation that occurs on a 5–7-year cycle
   • includes self-study and external review, incorporating quantitative and qualitative feedback from key stakeholders

��

3. Program Renewal and Responsive Curriculum Development:

   • process to build upon outcomes from program review recommendations, and
   • ongoing enhancement of curriculum in response to identified issues and opportunities

��

4. Educational Approvals:

   • approvals process where curriculum proposals are vetted through ����������Ƶ’s governance process
