Planning is what we say we are going to do to meet the college mission; planning often refers to goals that we set to meet the mission.  Institutional Effectiveness is determining how well we are achieving our mission and goals.

Planning can occur at an institutional level, or at a department/program level.  

Integrated planning is a process that links human, physical, technological, and fiscal resources to the mission, vision, and priorities of the college. Integrated planning activities provide a structure for a cycle of ongoing evaluation, decision-making, and action that leads to continuous improvement in support of student learning and success. MPC’s integrated planning is designed to be a cycle of data-informed inquiry, feedback, and improvement. All planning processes at MPC follow a cycle of data-informed resource prioritization, allocation, implementation, evaluation, and improvement, as illustrated in the MPC Integrated Planning Model. Broadly speaking, planning activities involve developing, implementing, and evaluating the results of a plan. All integrated planning centers around the College mission and link to the Institutional Goals and Education Master Plan.

Links to campus-wide plans and planning documents can be found below the integrated planning model.
