Strategic Plan 2008-2009 - Eastern Suffolk BOCES

Eastern Suffolk BOCES
Strategic Action Plan VI.A: Research and Program Improvement
IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES:
Implementation will be monitored by regular review and updating of the operational action plans associated with this strategic plan.
The Planning and Program Improvement Office will provide regular reports of its activities to the Assistant Superintendent for Human
Resources through monthly meetings and reports.
RESULTS:
Indication of an increase in research and program improvement capacity within the organization will be indicated by an increase in the
number of strategic and operational action plans that rely upon regular collection and analysis of data to measure progress in achieving
desired results/outcomes. External validation of this increased capacity will be reflected in the reports of Middle States Association
representatives conducting future mid-point and re-accreditation visits by an indication that Standard 9: Results/Outcomes have been
met.
The 2005-06 Agency Mid-Point Review cited that the agency successfully provided satisfactory and exceptional evidence on
its planning process content of its strategic plan, and its organizational growth. Middle States recommended that Eastern
Suffolk BOCES accreditation be extended for the remainder of the term to 2009. It also requested the agency to continue its
efforts in collecting, measuring and using data. All action plans now rely on collection and analysis of data, measuring
results, and adapting our activities to obtain or surpass the results desired.
Procedures and activities are being planned for the agency reaccreditation period 2009-2016. All educational site
accreditation activities will be integrated into the one agency reaccreditation. Work for the Fall 2008 validation visit began in
Spring 2007.
The Reaccreditation Planning Team has met monthly, completed the Period of Appraisal, the Middle States Standards
Survey, formed newly proposed Board goals and draft 2009-2016 objectives, and has submitted them to the Board before
sending the new objectives for Middle States Technical Review.
INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR MEASURES: Regular review and annual updates of the strategic and operational action plans must
include detailed information about benchmarking and evaluation activities conducted to measure progress toward meeting agency
goals.
