Educational Master Plan

Building Chabot's Next Educational Master Plan

Chabot College is currently developing its next Educational Master Plan (EMP). This plan will serve as the roadmap that will guide institutional priorities for the years ahead. This page is where you'll find updates, timelines, and ways to get involved as the plan takes shape.

Where we are now: Fall 2026 - Vision & Goal Drafting

We're gathering input from across the college to shape the next EMP's goals. Community feedback collected this fall will directly inform the draft goals brought back for review later in the process.

What is the Education Master Plan?

The Chabot College EMP articulates the college's vision for advancing student achievement, and will guide institutional and program development for the coming years. The plan will guide the college in advancing student achievement, planning for current and future needs, staffing, transforming infrastructure, and allocating resources.

The EMP works in conjunction with the district-wide Strategic Plan, Facility Master Plan, Student Equity Plan and Technology Plan to meet student needs through long-range planning of instructional and student support programs, facilities, and technology.

Each EMP is informed by input from the Chabot community, gathered through activities like Townhalls, Open Forums, Flex Day sessions, and division-level discussions. Data analysis from ORPIE (Office of Research, Planning, and Institutional Effectiveness) and other sources is incorporated into a current-conditions analysis that informs the development of goals and objectives for long-term planning.

The current 2021-26 EMP was built through this process and established nine overarching goals to guide the college's work and resource allocation. Chabot is now developing its next EMP, following this same collaborative approach. This is done by reviewing what progress has been made, what should carry forward, and what new priorities should shape the years ahead. Community input gathered now will directly inform the goals and strategies in the next plan.
