Measurement and Conclusion
Measuring Progress
The Strategic Plan’s goals and objectives will be integrated into the college’s regular assessment cycle – including program review and reviews of student learning outcomes (SLO), student services learning outcomes (SSLO), and administrative unit outcomes (AUO).
Overall progress on the strategic plan will be assessed annually by the College Planning Committee, which will develop action plans and make recommendations to College Council for addressing any goals or objectives in which progress is lagging. The planning committee will also develop a communications strategy to report progress on these metrics.
Conclusion
The De Anza College Strategic Plan 2027-2030 represents a deliberate evolution in institutional planning, building on established practices while providing enhanced responsiveness to emerging challenges and opportunities. Rather than serving as a ceremonial artifact, it will be an operational compass.
As described in earlier sections, the plan includes regular assessment and adaptability, rather than static goal setting, which will enable the college to pivot effectively as circumstances change. By integrating this ongoing data analysis with community-specific insights and broader educational mandates, aligned with the emerging priorities of our district and state, the plan will be a living document that informs decision-making across all levels of the institution.
Throughout the plan’s implementation period, De Anza College will maintain its commitment to student-centered innovation, while leveraging this strategic framework to anticipate needs rather than merely respond to them. This forward-looking approach will position De Anza to not only adapt in the face of change but to lead transformative efforts within the community college sector.
Through unified planning efforts that place student dreams at the center of everything we do, coupled with annual refinements that respond to emerging opportunities and evolving needs, we will ensure that our strategic vision remains vibrant and highly effective in creating pathways to success for every student we serve.
