<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Greg asked if I could export the plan as an example. Attached is a pdf of the 2022-23 plan. The one for the upcoming has more direct budget asks in it (like expanding hours for front desk support and making sure
funding is provided to the library to support new instructional programming), but that one’s still a little bit of a work in progress. The AAP mention CETL, which is the Center for Equity, Teaching, and Learning, and which is housed in the library, along with
the Learning Center and E-Learning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#1F497D;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
There’s some tension between using it as a budget-request tool and using it as a real program assessment and strategic planning tool. Right now, it tends to be more an ask list for immediate needs than a vehicle for long-term strategic planning.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#1F497D;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Our cycle is off. We do these AAPs on an academic year cycle, meaning we do final assessments of the plan in spring and then write the new one for fall. However, our budget planning cycle is on the calendar year. For that, we should be doing the final assessments
of the plan in December, so that we can generate the new plan with new resource requests in January, so that Cabinet can review those requests when they do their budget planning in February. I’m hoping we’re going to fix that disconnect in the coming year.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal">Currently at Shoreline we are doing a process much like Bruce describes for annual area reviews. The rubric looks at the department goals and needs compared to the president's goals. It would tie to the strategic plan, but the college is
also going through a strategic planning process. Next year the area reviews will tie to the goals from the strategic plan. Within my division we have been working through this process at every division meeting, tying ideas back to college wide goals, tagging
each other in reports so specific people are responsible for various sections. lot's of data mining. (As this is in process, I don't want to widely share the document itself.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In a prior organization I led the library in a multi year process of strategic planning. The document and goals we came up with is still on their website (attached). We listed current activities in line with the college goals and strategic
plan, then we added new ideas, and finally used dot stickers to vote on them. The highest voted items, I had people champion them and make a plan. There was a lot of buy in and collaboration in the process. I am also trying some of these activities at Shoreline.<o:p></o:p></p>

the AAP amounts to a full strategic plan, but it asks each admin unit to set annual SMART Objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound) that are aligned to College-wide strategic objectives and core themes. The form also asks for a continuous
improvement plan for each objective and has a field for linking the objective to a budget request (along with a budget request justification). We’re supposed to go into the Access database quarterly and assess each objective as “on track, delayed, at risk,
deferred, complete, or withdrawn.” The database allows the college to pull reports on how AAP objectives support each college-wide strategic goal.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
