Accreditation and Institutional Effectiveness
Many higher education institutions face accreditation issues at the institution or program level. We can help you organize your accreditation tasks with a proven project management approach to accreditation. For institutions accredited with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, institutional effectiveness still proves to be the area that causes the most problems for most colleges and universities. We offer services to evaluate and streamline your institutional effectiveness efforts to ensure a smooth reaffirmation of accreditation process.

Community College Baccalaureate
Perhaps the most exciting and challenging new initiative for community college is the development of a community college baccalaureate. Several states including Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington are now authorizing their colleges to develop baccalaureate degrees. In some states such as Florida this involves the preparation of a state application, in addition to regional accreditation requirements to award a higher level degree. We can assist you in proposal preparation, accreditation processes, curriculum planning and assessment of need for the community college baccalaureate degree in your service area.

Curriculum Development Models
We can help your institution use effective curriculum development models such as Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) and develop effective internal curriculum review and approval procedures, using technology solutions that are easy and inexpensive to implement.

Demographic and Economic Forecasting Reports
We can provide your company with detailed (down to the zip code level) reports on the fastest growing occupations, including a strategic assessment to align your curriculum with local industry demands. In addition, we can provide detailed current and projected demographic information and reports for your service area.

Evaluation and Assessment
Perhaps no other area is as important as evaluation and assessment. Regional Accreditors and the Spellings Commission have pointed out that higher education institutions must show that students are learning what we say they are learning. Not only must we assess what students are learning, we must use that data to improve what we do as colleges and universities. KahunaTech can help you develop effective assessment models that will help you evaluate your programs to improve.

Learning Outcomes Development
Regional accreditors require their institutions to develop learning outcomes at the general education, program and course level. We can help your institution organize these efforts into a streamlined, technology-based effort that minimizes paperwork and frustration on the part of faculty. The emphasis is on student learning and improvement, rather than on paperwork and process. Let us show you our proven methodologies.

Process Reengineering
One of our specialty areas is to help organizations with process reengineering. If you have a process that needs reengineering, our method of project management and step-through review will reveal the extra unneeded steps and paperwork. In addition, we provide a full set of documentation and training materials to help staff understand and implement any newly developed procedures.

Research Design, Surveys and Needs Assessment
If you need to conduct a survey of students, faculty or staff, we can provide full services from survey design and development to completed research reports and analysis. We can conduct traditional mail surveys, telephone interviews and well as online surveys that are completely automated. We can also conduct detailed needs assessments and master plans for institutions using forward looking data and analysis to position your institution to be read to meet the needs of the workforce and of students.

Strategic Planning
At the heart of planning and evaluation is the institution's strategic plan. In these changing times, many institutions are shifting from five-year strategic plans to three-year plans that can allow the institution to be more responsive in these fast-changing times. We can help you develop a new strategic plan involving all institutional stakeholders, or evaluate your current strategic plan to see how evaluation and assessment techniques could be improved.
