Strategic planning at Barton County Community College is an ongoing effort to
anticipate, predict and align future activities and provide a framework to advance
the College’s vision, mission and goals. It must be clear to the entire organization
where we are going, why we are going there, and how we will get there.
The College’s strategic planning starts with the Board of Trustee’s mission and vision,
followed by an institutional environmental scan (SOAR - Strengths, Opportunities,
Aspirations, Results). Click here to see a

The College has initiated steps this year (2010) to update our strategic plan for the next five years. Focusing on the strengths of individuals and organizations is a powerful and effective approach as opposed to dwelling on deficiencies. That is why Barton has chosen to use SOAR as a strategic planning tool to collect feedback from stakeholders.
Barton has asked the Office of Educational Innovation and Evaluation (OEIE) to facilitate and support the strategic planning efforts of the college. As part of this assistance, OEIE has designed a brief survey to capture your thoughts about Barton in each of the above areas.
As a key partner in the strategic planning process, you are critical to Barton’s success. Please take a few minutes of your time to provide some feedback and suggestions for Barton’s future direction.
