Integrated Strategic Planning in a Learning-Centered Community College

A Learning Revolution is sweeping across the higher education landscape... Placing learning first in every policy, program, and practice is the rallying cry, as institutions strive to remove the time-bound, place-bound, role-bound, and bureaucracy-bound models of education that shackle innovation and transformation. What this means in practical terms is that every action in a college should be analyzed by asking the simple question: Does this improve or expand student learning? (O’Banion and Milliron 1998, p. 1)
