What are the Commission’s particular expectations in terms of the follow-up plan? Isn’t the follow-up plan the subsequent success plan?
The follow-up plan serves as an intermediary step between the evaluation of the effectiveness of the success plan and the development of the new plan. It is to be used to structure the development of the subsequent plan while taking into account the strengths mentioned as well as the improvements to be made. A critical analysis of the plan is important to identify the improvements to be made to its success planning process. For example, at the end of the operation, some may wish to specify the indicators and targets of the operation, while others may wish to focus on the plan monitoring process. The Commission recognizes that most of the colleges will have adopted their subsequent success plan before its evaluation visit takes place. The follow-up plan will be examined for the presence of the various elements that it must integrate (actions, priorities, responsibilities and timeline) and include the connection between the defined actions and the analysis performed.
