2012 Annual Report Guidelines
2012 Contact Information Template

All Achieving the Dream Institutions, including self-funded sites and continuing colleges, must complete an annual report submission. Timely completion of this report is required to remain in good standing.

The annual report provides an opportunity to reflect on your institution’s 2011-2012 Achieving the Dream work and to plan for the coming year. We encourage you to hold a series of team meetings or a retreat with your Coach and Data Coach (if possible) to discuss your progress and the challenges you have faced during the past year. Use the tenets of the Achieving the Dream model—committed leadership, use of evidence to improve programs and services, broad engagement, and systemic institutional improvement—to guide your discussions. This report should cover your activities from May 2011 through April 2012.

Leader College Applications:

The 2012 Leader College application process will be decoupled from the annual reporting process this year to provide time for an Advisory Committee of Leader College representatives to recommend improvements including greater clarity of Leader College criteria. Colleges will have the opportunity to apply for Leader College status through a separate report submission, which will be available to all eligible colleges in April 2012 and will be due no later than July 1, 2012.
