The main purpose of this planning tool is to help community colleges facilitate productive conversations and develop systemwide plans to raise student completion rates substantially. The planning tool is initially targeted at colleges participating in the Completion by Design initiative. Based on these colleges' experiences and feedback, the planning tool will be revised and augmented as a living document, to capture and disseminate information about improving student completion rates. This planning tool draws from the ideas described in "Changing Course: A Guide to Increasing Student Completion in Community Colleges" (see ED585322) and is designed to serve as a complement to that document. This tool offers a series of self-reflective questions to assist community colleges in examining their own areas of strength and their emphasis on increasing student success on their campuses. As colleges use these questions and other inquiry-based processes to rethink and redesign their services and programs, this planning tool also provides them with information about the range of practices that community colleges have used to improve student completion rates.
