22. Institutional Transformation
• Winning by Degree’s Essential Elements of High Performance
Institutions of Higher Education*
1. Efficient and effective operational processes supported by
appropriate technology and tools.
2. Effective management systems to ensure progress, build
capabilities, and manage implementation.
3. Leaders and staff who are committed to achieving degree productivity
gains alongside high-quality educational outcomes.
4. Support from state and institutional policies that allow them to
choose how to achieve their quality and efficiency goals.
*Auguste, B. G., Cota, A., Jayaram, K., and Laboissière, M. C. A. (2010).

New York, NY: McKinsey & Company.
23. Institutional Transformation
• Achieving the Dream’s Principles of Institutional
Effectiveness*
1. Committed Leadership - Senior college leaders actively support
efforts to improve student success, not just to increase enrollments
2. Use of Evidence to Improve Programs and Services
3. Broad Engagement - Faculty, student services staff, and
administrators share responsibility for student success.
4. Systemic Institutional Improvement - The college establishes
planning processes that rely on data to set goals for student success
and then uses the data to measure goal attainment
* Available at: http://www.achievingthedream.org/institutional_change/four_principles
24. Institutional Transformation
• CCRC’s Practices of Effective
Organizations*
1. Leadership – committed to improving outcomes
2. Focus on the Customer
3. Functional Alignment – “Instructional Program Coherence”
4. Process Improvement
5. Use of Measurement
6. Employee Involvement & Professional Development
7. External Linkages
*Jenkins, D. (2011). Redesigning community colleges for completion: Lessons from
research on high-performance organizations. New York, NY:
Columbia University, Teachers College, Community College Research Center.
25. Institutional Transformation
• Commonality across these:
– Strong, committed leadership focused on outcomes
– Strong “customer focus” – centered on the student
– Emphasis on our workforce, through professional development and broad-
based inclusion
– Effective and efficient organizational processes (e.g., planning & assessment)
– Commitment to setting goals
– Using data and measurement to evaluate progress and inform decisions
26. Institutional Transformation
• Progress at LCCC
– Reorganization Starting with the Leadership
– Building Inclusiveness through Shared Governance
– Defining and Measuring Institutional Performance (KPI’s)
– Change in Board Governance = Strengthened Policies & Procedures
– Much more to come…
27. The Completion Agenda
• Resolving the Discourse
– It isn’t that the US is doing
so much worse, just that
other countries are doing
so much better…
– Increase has happened as a
result of improved access;
completion rates have
slipped, while time to
degree and costs have
increased.
28. The Completion Agenda
• Resolving the Discourse
– Completion is not a bad word. Earning a degree or certificate is still the
primary reason students go to college.
• 96% of Community College students expect to earn an Associate’s Degree or Higher (U.S.
Department of Education’s Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study 1996-2001).
• 79% of Community College students indicate their goal for attending is to earn an associate
degree (Center for Community College Student Engagement’s A Matter of Degrees 2012; 2010
SENSE Cohort Data, n=70,138).
– It’s Completion AND Quality, Not Completion versus Quality
• We must keep the quality and rigor within our academic offerings.
• However, we must find new ways to support students in the learning process.
29. The Completion Agenda
• Distilling the Noise
– Complete College America, Achieving the Dream, Access to
Success, Lumina, CCSSE, WICHE, ACE, Completion Arch, American Graduation
Initiative, etc….
– Common Elements
1. Assess Student Learning - Instructional Effectiveness, Course Redesign and Enhancement
2. Reform Developmental Education and Placement Assessment
3. Align Curricula and Construct Coherent Pathways to Credentials and Transfer
4. Integrate Student Services and Strengthen Non-Academic Supports
5. Remove Barriers, Simplify Structures, and Improve Policy and Procedures (Colleges & Students)
6. Incentivize and Monitor Progress and Completion (Colleges & Students)
7. Collect and Use Data to Monitor Progress and Inform Continuous Improvement Processes
8. Develop and Engage the Faculty and Staff Collaboratively to Tackle Change
30. Building Momentum
1. Focusing on Academic Excellence
– Design & Implement a Framework for Assessing Student Learning: At the
course, program, and institution levels.
– Re-examine and Refine our General Education Core: Tied to institutional
learning outcomes and recognized by a credential.
– Improve Overall Student Success in Coursework: Focus first on the courses
with the lowest success rates.
– Strengthen and Expand Programming through Innovation and Responsiveness
to Community and Student Needs: Flexible scheduling, coherent
pathways, and utilization of different delivery modalities.
– Develop the Faculty: Establish a center for teaching and learning, focusing on
new faculty development and ongoing instructional improvement.
– Empower the Faculty: Place the authority and responsibility over the Academy
and our curricula more strongly in Faculty hands.
31. Building Momentum
2. Services and Programs to Serve Our Students
– Establish a Centralized, Holistic Model for Student Advising: Advising needs to
be much more than course planning.
– Create Early Connections for Students Through Mandatory Engagement:
“Students don’t do optional” (Kay McClenney, CCCSE).
• Mandatory New Student Orientation w/Registration
• Mandatory Student Success Course/Freshman Seminar for All Incoming Students
– Improve the “Front Door Experience” at LCCC: Efficient, accurate information
focused on the student.
– Plan for the Implementation of Integrated Services and a Student Services
“One Stop.”
– Strengthen Student Engagement: Expand opportunities for student
involvement outside of the classroom.
32. Building Momentum
3. Stabilize and Strengthen the College
– Bolster Shared Governance Through Effective Operations:
• Establish integrated models for institutional planning and an improved budget process, driven
by an open and honest assessment of institutional efficacy.
• Process map major organizational processes to identify areas for improvement in campus
involvement and process effectiveness.
– Assist the Board in Changes in Governance Model: Trustee’s Governance and
Policy = Our Procedures.
– Engage the Campus and Community in Aggressively Pursuing Our Facilities
Plan: To meet our needs will require the support of all.
– Match Form to Function Through the Next Phases of Reorganization.
– Establish a Strong, Centralized Human Resources Structure.
– Seek Out Efficiencies Across the Institution.
• Objective and actionable program review
• Examine student fee structure and financial subsidy strategy
33. What is the State of LCCC?
LCCC is Building Momentum and Poised for a
Great Year and an Even Greater Future!
