Institutional Effectiveness Continuous Improvement Model
CSN uses our Institutional Effectiveness Continuous Improvement Model to guide unit and assessment planning and reporting. The cycle outlines seven phases that allow our units to determine their effectiveness and unit contribution to institutional effectiveness. CSN's mission highlights our priority focus on students and the community. We believe that achievement, success, and prosperity are critical to the students we currently serve as well as our graduates who transition into our local community and become productive members of society. We create empowering environments for students to demonstrate self-determined behaviors and become intrinsically motivated to achieve their educational and personal goals. Student success includes transfer preparation, career and technical skill achievement, and noncredit community education .
CSN has defined mission fulfillment as continuous improvement of key indicators in our . CSN uses the MFM to focus our efforts and communicate our progress to internal and external stakeholders. The three core elements of the model linked to our mission are Achieve, Succeed, and Prosper. Each of these core elements is supported by three key indicators derived from our CSN 2019-2024 Strategic Plan as well as the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) that address student achievement, community impact, and institutional success.
