Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative (IEPI) Workshop: What is IEPI and the Indicator Framework?

The Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative(IEPI) is a collaborative effort to help advance the institutional effectiveness of California Community Colleges. Most importantly, IEPI will enhance the system’s ability to effectively serve students. It is jointly administered by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office and College of the Canyons. Major components of the initiative include development of the statewide indicators per SB 852and SB 860,making Technical AssistanceTeams (now called Partnership Resource Teams) and implementation grants available to colleges interested in receiving assistance, and providing professional development opportunities.

This workshop will present an overview of IEPI, including additional resources available through resource teams and regional trainings, and spend time going into greater depth on what the indicators are and how colleges can go about the process of establishing goals for the indicators.The indicators rely heavily on existing publically available data to help ensure consistency across systems and minimize the impact on colleges, especially for the first iteration in the first year.

To help colleges understand what IEPI is, what the indicators are, and how colleges can go about setting goals for the indicators, the Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative is hosting a series of regional workshops. All workshops will take place from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. Registration is required through EventBrite, although there is no registration fee for attending.
