SECTION II. PROGRAM FORECAST
Local, short-term program planning: Review the planning ideas previously identified in Section IC, then generate at most five planning agenda items for the next four years - indicate the College Strategies supported by these Planning Agenda Item. Suggested language for facilities-related requests is available via the PrOF Facilities Guide link on http://www.crc.losrios.edu/Faculty_and_Staff/Planning/Other_College_Plans.htm
Planning Agenda Item # 1 Brief Description: increase quantity of on-line tutorial service. This will require additional FTE for evening/weekend IA.
Brief Rationale: This will both expand the quantity of tutorial services available and extend tutorial services more effectively to on-line students – a student population that is expected to increase. Desired Outcome (should be measureable): Enhanced course success rates in on-line, evening, and weekend classes. College strategy supported by this Planning Agenda Item #1
Teaching and Learning Effectiveness; T1 Improve support for teaching and learning; (a) resources and facilities
Planning Agenda Item #2 Brief Description: Expand the FTE and facilities available for Accounting Instruction.
Brief Rationale: The Accounting program has been growing at a rapid pace, but has maximized it available resources. It has the highest productivity within the Business area. The addition of the space and staff at the Elk Grove Center may be a partial remedy. However, on campus space and staff also need increases, possibly through the reallocation of resources from other areas. This will include addressing both on-ground and on-line capacity. Desired Outcome (should be measureable): Increase in enrollment in a high demand, high wage program area while maintaining productivity levels.
College strategy supported by this Planning Agenda Item #2 (see page 4 of http://www.crc.losrios.edu/Documents/planning/StrategicPlan_Overview.pdf ):
Access and Growth; A1- ensure Access to quality programs, A3 -Expand physical and technological resources; (A.1.a) Understand and adapt to changing student needs, (A.3.a Facilities
Community and Economic Development; C2- Enhance responsiveness to community needs; (a) responsive programs, services and delivery methods
Planning Agenda Item #3 Brief Description: Improve participation and success rates for targeted groups – African American and Hispanic students

Desired Outcome (should be measureable): Improve the participation rate and success rates of Hispanic and African American students in Accounting
College strategy supported by Planning Agenda Item #3 (see page 4 of http://www.crc.losrios.edu/Documents/planning/StrategicPlan_Overview.pdf ):
Access and Growth; A- Ensure access to quality programs, A2-Integrated and coordinated communication and outreach
Community and Economic Development; C2-Enhance responsiveness to community needs
Planning Agenda Item #4 Brief Description: Analyze the success and retention statistics for the program with a targeted focus on the impact of the increase in technological resources and delivery and on-line delivery.
Brief Rationale: The program has made a major commitment to the expansion of technology resources in the program and the expansion of the program into on-line delivery.
Desired Outcome (should be measureable): Increased sense of the impact of technology on the program and development of additional strategies to improve student success and retention.
College strategy supported by Planning Agenda Item #4 (see page 4 of http://www.crc.losrios.edu/Documents/planning/StrategicPlan_Overview.pdf ):
Organizational Effectiveness; O2-Improve organizational processes and communication, O3-Enhance efficiency and employee satisfaction Planning Agenda Item #5 Brief Description: Adjust course delivery and assessment processes to enhance the teaching of ethics within the courses.
Brief Rationale: Ethics is a major Program SLO for Accounting. However it does not have sufficient exposure within the courses in the program.
Desired Outcome (should be measureable): Better assessment of the Ethics Program SLO and a better determination of the impact of expanded focus on ethics within the program. College strategy supported by Planning Agenda Item #4 (see page 4 of http://www.crc.losrios.edu/Documents/planning/StrategicPlan_Overview.pdf ):
