As part of its Strategic Planning process and cycles, Palomar College monitors and reviews a set of Institutional Effectiveness (IE) indicators. Organized by strategic goal (e.g., a Student Success, Teaching and Learning Excellence, Organizational and Professional Development), IR&P tracks the institutional effectiveness metrics over time and provides an annual report to SPC and the college's Board of Trustees. The institutional effectiveness reporting process helps SPC monitor and discuss the extent to which college efforts are affecting student success and improving organizational processes. The set of measures used in this reporting process incorporate the State's accountability indicators as well as other metrics determined by the SPC as important indicators of institutional effectiveness.
