摘要

摘要:战略计划对于寻求为领导层和教师树立愿景并提供重点指导的大学来说是很有价值的工具,但目前尚不清楚这些计划如何解决学生的成功问题。这项研究分析了北卡罗来纳州58所社区学院中55所的计划。首先,我们使用10步战略规划框架来分析计划,以确定每个计划与该规划过程的一致性。然后,我们分析了这些计划,看看它们如何与学生成功的框架相一致,该框架包括四个要素:完成感、学习、劳动力市场结果和公平。此外,我们研究了这些计划,以了解它们如何反映新自由主义理想的影响。我们发现,所有55个战略计划都确定了目标,大多数计划也提供了与这些目标相对应的战略。然而,对执行工作的关注较少。仔细观察计划中确定的目标,可以发现劳动力市场目标占主导地位(36%),其次是对转学/完成学业的关注(31%)和学习(25%),对公平的关注最低(9%),这表明新自由主义理想——通过完成学业的问责衡量成功与否——在战略规划过程中给大学带来了压力。我们的文件分析表明,社区大学领导没有将校园注意力集中在优先考虑学生成功和促进多样性、公平性和包容性的共同目标上,从而错过了利用战略规划过程来支持组织学习和变革的机会。忽视提供公开可用的规划文件也错过了利益相关者参与的好处。

A Call for Action to Strengthen the Commitment to Equitable Student Success: A Case Study of North Carolina Community College Strategic Plans
ABSTRACT Strategic plans are valuable tools for colleges seeking to cast vision and provide focused guidance for leadership and faculty, but it is not clear how these plans address student success. This study analyzed plans from 55 of the 58 community colleges in North Carolina. First, we analyzed the plans using a 10-step strategic planning framework to determine how well each aligned with this planning process. Then, we analyzed the plans to see how they aligned with a framework for student success that includes four elements: completion, learning, labor market outcomes and equity. Additionally, we examined the plans with an interest in understanding how they reflected the influence of neoliberalism ideals. We found that all 55 strategic plans identified goals, and most of the plans also provided strategies corresponding with these goals. Less attention, however, was given to implementation. A close look at the identified goals within the plans highlighted predominance of labor market objectives (36%), followed by attention to transfer/completion (31%) and learning (25%), with minimal attention to equity (9%), which suggests that neoliberal ideals – that gauge success by accountability measures of completion – have placed pressure on colleges in the strategic planning process. Our document analysis suggests that community college leaders are missing an opportunity to leverage the strategic planning process to support organizational learning and change by not focusing campus attention on shared goals prioritizing student success and advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Neglecting to provide publicly-available planning documents also misses the benefit of stakeholder engagement.
