A visual tool used to evaluate instructional program performance has been designed by the University of Hawaii Community College system. The tool combines features from traffic lights, blood-chemistry test reports, and industry production control charts, and is labeled the Program Health-Indicator Chart. The tool was designed to minimize the labor needed for its preparation while maximizing program ownership and interest by faculty. The description of the tool is presented, along with the delineation of the process, the impact, and the lessons learned from implementing the tool over 13 years at Kapiolani Community College.
