Accountability and Evaluation of Progress

Accountability

CGTC plays a pivotal role in the support of the area’s economic growth and development. The availability of a highly skilled, competent workforce proves to be a major factor in business and industry's ability to experience continued growth, expansion, and technical advancement. return-on-investment to the area's communities is evident through immediate effects on students and through a multiplier effect apparent in economic growth, increased tax bases, and increased consumer spending.

 CGTC has a strong history of emphasizing accountability to its customers, constituents, and stakeholders by making efficient use of public funds and striving to manage the resources at our command effectively to produce greater results. Historically, CGTC's funding has remained relatively constant while the quality and quantity of our programs and services has grown rapidly. Now, CGTC measures and reports its results to the state through the Performance Accountability System/Performance Accountability Review (PAS/PAR) and through a formalized statewide accountability report card.  

Evaluation

CGTC will use three phases of evaluation as part of its institutional effectiveness process:
  1. The annual PAS self-evaluation process,

  2. The agency accountability report card process, and

  3. CGTC's own measurement of strategic progress compared to the desired results, objectives, and strategies stated in this plan.
The CGTC evaluation process will involve evaluation of the college's progress in implementing the strategic plan and evaluation of the college's effectiveness in meeting desired results. Results of the three evaluations will be used to plan improvements and will contribute to the situational analyses for annual strategic plan updates and for major redevelopment of the strategic plan every third year.
