Abstract | This report, conducted by the Illinois Community College Board, highlights and summarizes accountability activities and initiatives described by Illinois' 48 community colleges in their 2002 Accountability/Program Review Reports. The report provides evidence that Illinois' comprehensive community colleges play a vital role in the state's educational and workforce preparation. Highlights include: (1) nearly every college described initiatives and partnerships with universities/colleges relating to teacher preparation; (2) the need to be increasingly accountable for student achievement and preparation has led educators to assess their efforts from a student learning (outcomes) perspective rather than the traditional teaching (learning) perspective; (3) during fiscal year 2002, colleges reviewed a total of 84 academic disciplines, 26 adult and developmental education and English-as-a-Second-Language programs, and 681 career and technical education programs; (4) as a result of reviews, 536 programs were continued with minor improvements, 38 were significantly modified, 59 were identified for elimination, and 48 were scheduled for further review; and (5) the most commonly identified strengths for career and technical education programs were knowledgeable and experienced faculty, active advisory committees, quality internship and work-based learning opportunities, and positive relationships with employers and the community; weaknesses were low enrollments, low completions, and need for updated curricula or equipment. Appendix contains three summary tables. (CB) |
