Welcome

Departmental Unit Action Plans (DAPs) are presented on this web-site for the entire academic community of Valencia to view. The College's annual planning and evaluation cycle requires that academic departments identify plans related to the Strategic Learning Plan that include learning outcomes.

In July of 2003, the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Learning Officer met with the academic deans and designed a new set of procedures to plan and evaluate educational effectiveness of the College's academic programs, with emphasis on the quality of student learning outcomes. At the end of the annual cycle, an evaluation form will be completed and used to document specific measures of educational effectiveness. A subsequent meeting will be held to review the results, gauge assessment of student learning outcomes, and prepare for the 2004-05 annual planning and evaluation cycle.

As we move toward new forms of assessment at the College we will no doubt see some changes in how we document student learning outcomes, and how we use the results of our analysis of the outcomes to plan new goals.

The Index of Plans provided below includes an informational overview including a Departmental Unit Action Plan (DAP) number, department(s) of origin, campus(es), dean(s) and a brief topical focus for each plan. By clicking on a Departmental Unit Action Plan (DAP) number you will be linked to current planning and evaluation documents.
