Performance Goal: Improving the Quality of Teaching and Learning Engagements

The strength of Extension as an outreach and engagement component of the university lies in the teaching, research, and subject matter expertise of Extension professionals and volunteers. Extension has set an agenda that delivers community-based programs to expanded audiences, focuses on key statewide issues, and encourages an entrepreneurial spirit. Employees must be equipped with the skills necessary to achieve excellence in community-based programming that is informed by a global economy.

As Extension seeks to establish sustainable funding through partnerships with collaborative organizations, agencies, and governmental officials, accountability measures will need to be met. Extension clientele and partners expect excellence in teaching and learning engagements, and it is the responsibility of all Extension professionals to meet those expectations. Therefore, accountability for teaching, research, evaluation, and reporting quality must be achieved.
