Action Project 1:

Improved Student Learning Through Continuous Improvement The goal of this action project is to improve student learning by identifying opportunities for continuous improvement of the college’s programs and services, and supports staff professional development.

Inherent in this goal is the development of an open, non-punitive, and collaborative environment, and positive, constructive, and non-punitive evaluation and measurement systems.
