CB21-ARCC-CDCP: Showing Success
Marcy Alancraig, Cabrillo CollegeJanet Fulks, ASCCC
• Consider the “Stimulus Package” and the tarp bailout funds. Should the people receiving the money be required to account for how they spend it?
• If you went back to college to work on another degree and spent $10-15,000 per year, what expectations would you have for that investment?
Asking Relevant Questions
• This is accountability.
• BUT just reporting numbers is only part of the puzzle
– Numbers may measure what you want – or may not
– Numbers without context are misleading
– Numbers don’t correct problems
The Puzzle of Accountability
Why Does Accountability Matter?
• What comes to mind when you hear accountability in education?
• What comes to mind when you hear “accountability in non-credit”?
Why Does Accountability Matter?
What Happens When Accountability Goes Wrong?
• Based on Faculty performance of objectives
• Detailed and non productive
• Focuses on content
• Limits reporting to statistical data
• No dialogue
• No direction for interventions
No Child Left Behind
• Should be based on higher level outcomes
• Should help improve practice
• Should be based on authentic student proficiencies
• Should indicate potential interventions and improvement
No Child Left Behind is Unhealthy Accountability
Healthy and Responsible Accountability
• Define what student should be able to do• Identify a way to assess it • Collect the accurate and relevant data
based on your assessment• Analyze and discuss the data• Change what you do because of the
results
• You have always done this!!!
So How Does Healthy Accountability Work?
Previously
• Credit attached to units
• Grades
• Degrees, certificates
Now – What are students able to do?
• Student learning outcomes
In Credit Education How Have We Defined Accountability?
• Turn to the person next to you and share about a successful student you had.
• How did you know the student was successful?
• How did the student show you that he or she was successful?
• How did the student know she or he was successful?
Student Success
Accountability Metrics in Noncredit
• Three annual accountability reports1. Focus on Results: Accountability Reporting for
the California Community Colleges (ARCC)2. Career Development and College Preparation
in the State: Supplement to the ARCC Report3. Basic Skills Accountability Framework
• “report cards” on a variety of measures
Why Noncredit Accountability?
• Three significant bills passed in California Legislature
Where there is money – there must be accountability!
This is credit and noncredit too!
Enhanced Noncredit Funding
• Noncredit gets funded less per FTES than credit
• SB 361 increased noncredit funding from $2,626 per FTES to $3,092 per FTES
• Applies to students enrolled in a sequence of courses leading to career development or college preparation (CDCP certificates)
Focus on Results: ARCC Report
• System- wide statistics
• College-level statistics
• 1 noncredit performance indicator – CDCP Progress and Achievement Rate
Statewide Indicators
Sample College Level Indicators
CDCP Progress and Achievement Rate Specific to Noncredit
• Cohort
– Students taking courses for the first time at any CCC
– Did not enroll in any credit courses during the first term they enrolled in CDCP
– Must have completed 8 or more positive attendance hours in CDCP courses within their 1st two terms of attendance
– Only System-level data
CDCP Progress and Achievement Rate
• Performance indicators – achieved any of the following within 3 years of entry– Completed at least 1 degree-applicable credit
course– Earned a CDCP certificate– Achieved “transfer-directed” status– Achieved “transfer-prepared” status– Earned an AA, AS, and/or credit certificate– Transferred to a 4-year institution
Persistence Indicators
What Would Healthy Accountability Look Like In Noncredit?
• Think back to the student you discussed earlier.
• What would indicate success?• What would you need to know to improve
your teaching and contribute to that student success?
