Office of Instruction

Dean Shandria Holmes

Dean of Instruction

The Office of Instruction works to maintain the academic integrity of the curriculum, empowers faculty in the classroom, and supports student success in a dynamic learning environment.

​MISSION STATEMENT                                                            

The mission of the Office of Instruction is to provide a quality education, commensurate in academic rigor to that of the first two years of a four-year college or university. We strive to ensure that the knowledge and experiences gained at Kennedy-King College adequately prepare students for transfer to baccalaureate institution and/or employment. Each discipline conducts course and program assessments, and participates in institution-wide assessment. Assessment outcomes are used to update and improve our curriculum. We continuously offer new programs which address the needs of local, national and global communities.​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​
