The goals of the project were twofold: 1. To meet LA Valley College’s near-term planning need for a document that responded to the Los Angeles Community College District’s request for growth projections; new and enhanced programs; basic skills goals and action plans; and emerging instructional technology. 2. To create a comprehensive, implementable Educational Master Plan to drive future development of LA Valley College The results of the first goal, drawn from the work toward completion of the second, are contained in a separate report submitted to the District, and are shown in the Appendix. The results of the second goal are contained in this report. The planning process was guided by several principles. It would be: ▪ Based on prior planning conducted by the College ▪ Open and collaborative ▪ Both grounded in reality and future oriented ▪ Linked to accreditation ▪ Mindful that planning is a dynamic and ongoing process, not a one-time event The LA Valley Educational Master Plan Committee served as the advisory group throughout the project. There was also regular consultation with the LA Valley Academic Senate and College Council. The project progressed through several interrelated phases, which included: ▪ A thorough review of all existing planning and accreditation documents ▪ An environmental scan, including an analysis of peers and competitors ▪ An internal scan ▪ Formulation of draft Core Commitments, Vision, and Mission and Goals, Objectives, and Strategies ▪ A retreat of the LA Valley Educational Master Planning Committee and approximately 30 additional faculty, staff, students and administrators ▪ A review and approval of the final report The environmental scan included research on regional demographics, workforce needs, transportation trends and educational attainment; Executive Summary iii Educational Master Plan Los Angeles Valley College and overall higher education trends. Chief among the findings of the environmental scan: ▪ LA Valley College’s student profile does not reflect the diversity of its immediate service area, particularly in the Hispanic population. ▪ A majority of residents in the LA Valley College immediate service area speak a language other than English at home, Spanish being the most predominate. ▪ The average family income of the College’s immediate service area is well below that of the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County and the State of California. ▪ LA Valley College
