Local Application ProcessIssues Identified in FY06 Review
Format is difficult to complete and to review No place for context of goals and strategies Measures not always detailed or related
directly to objectives and goals Difficulty in developing and using outcome
measures (other than core indicators) Varying levels of involvement by deans and
administrators

Local ApplicationsOptions for Revising the Process
Require academic and CTE administrative leadership attendance at regional meeting
Revise application to: More clearly relate strategies to specific
goals and objectives Include a narrative structure to allow for
contextual information
Provide training and guidance in development and use of appropriate outcome measures—including baseline and targets for core measures and measures specific to a given objective and strategy
