Small Group Project: Community College Institutional Report. Students will organize themselves into small groups
     during the first class session. Each group will choose a community college to explore and report to the class. A list of
     community colleges will be made available from which each group will choose. A contact person will be arranged at each
     college to facilitate the team's work. Each group will present its chosen institution at the last session, February 27. A written
     report of the group's work is due at that session as well.

The community college institutional report should include the following:
     Institutional Profile, including Student Population and Demographics
     Mission, Values, and Climate/Culture
     Organization and Administration
     Decision-Making Processes, including Faculty Roles
     Academic Affairs (Programs and Curricula)
     Teaching Approaches and Strategies (including use of Technology)
     Instructional Support:  Learning Resources and Faculty Development
     Student Services, Outreach and Support
     Workforce Development/Occupational Education
     Community Relationships and Service
