RCC 2010-11 Fact Book
Institutional effectiveness shows the college how closely it is adhering to its mission and other institutional goals. The institutional effectiveness process at RCC is based on the college’s ongoing effort toward continuous improvement, achieved through data-driven planning and assessment. In addition, the results of the assessments are used throughout the college to make decisions that will improve student services, instructional programs, and administrative services.
The Office of Institutional Effectiveness coordinates the functions of institutional research, assessment, and planning.
Goals of this office are:
- to assist the Rappahannock Community College community in engaging in ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research-based planning and evaluation processes
- to facilitate a systematic review of programs and services that results in continuing improvement and demonstrates that RCC is effectively accomplishing its mission
- to assist faculty and staff in identifying expected outcomes for educational programs and administrative and educational support services
- to assist faculty and staff in assessing the achievement of those outcomes and providing evidence of improvement based on those outcomes.
The institutional effectiveness activities of the college are supported by an institutional effectiveness council which is a part of the governance structure of the college.
