Description¶

Lessons from EO 1110 implementation for future initiatives: "provide early and ongoing communication and supports that are tailored to campus needs," "support campuses to build capacity for cross-functional collaboration and integrated planning," and "look for opportunities to better integrate and coordinate related Chancellor's Office initiatives." These respond to interviewee reports of unclear communication, mixed resource feedback, and concurrent initiative burdens.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Target Learning Goals¶
