The QEPs have been reviewed and ranked by the Vice Presidents/Provosts. In that process, a group of committees were identified to take the QEP to the implementation phase.

This web page will provide guidelines and documents to help each committee implement the QEPs to help support the Strategic Plan. The QEP ranking spreadsheet is as follows (click on the link to download):

• QEPs Ranked by Priority

The committees are as follows:

• Admissions/Registration
• Curriculum & Class Scheduling
• Distance Learning
• Faculty Development
• Financial Aid
• Human Resources
• Information Technology
• Recruitment
• Student Engagement
  

Steps to QEP Implementation

1. The Committee Co-chair will convene a meeting of the committee members.
2. At that meeting, the Committee will examine the QEPs it has been assigned, using the spreadsheets linked above. This document (click here) has a summary of the progress of each approved QEP to date. Click here for all the QEPs that were submitted through this process.
3. The Committee should examine how the QEPs can be grouped, which QEPs need additional development, what subcommittees may need to be formed, progress made to date on the QEP.
4. When the Committee has developed a tactical plan for how it will approach the QEP's it has been assigned, the Committee will prepare a BRIEF report on how each QEP will be implemented (click here for a template).
5. Once the implementation plan mentioned in step 4 has been reviewed and approved by the Strategic Planning Steering Committee, each committee will prepare a detailed implementation plan with action steps (click here for a template). This is very similar to the action plans that were used in the previous version of PBCC's strategic plan.
6. This plan should not be a "plan to plan." It should be the actual action steps needed to implement the concept in the QEP.
7. Budget - Funds has been allocated for QEP initiatives in the 2006-07 budget. If the implementation phase of your plan requires financial resources, please submit these requests to Dr. Sharon Sass (mailto:sasss@palmbeachstate.edu) and detail the funds required.
