Direct Connection to Policy Area 6 <strong>of</strong> The Illinois Commitment<br />

Collaborative Planning<br />

Triton College<br />

What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice?<br />

With limited funds the college is establishing an integrated process which will position it to create and<br />

implement short and long range plans that will benefit the students it serves. The process engaged the college<br />

constituencies in participating in global planning for the institution, and utilized the support <strong>of</strong> the shared<br />

governance structure. The results <strong>of</strong> the information sharing sessions identified areas that were mutually agreed<br />

upon for enhancement and incorporation into the master plan.<br />

Description <strong>of</strong> the effective practice:<br />

The results from the sessions will be used as a benchmark for needed improvements throughout the college. The<br />

inclusive process provided a mechanism to demonstrate how shared governance can be a foundation in<br />

recognizing common institutional needs.<br />

How does this practice achieve sustainability?<br />

Through this type <strong>of</strong> session the college can move forward in long range planning. Through tangible and<br />

actionable results, the college community can see the larger picture and have appreciation for areas they<br />

normally would not be involved with.<br />

What are the results/measurable outcomes?<br />

The college will now update the master plan based on input received from the sessions. The results will be<br />

measured by evaluating progress in the condition <strong>of</strong> the campus to the benchmark created in fiscal year 2006.<br />
