North Carolina Community College System 2011 Critical Success FactorsFactor I: Core Indicators of Student Success(Performance Measures and Standards)
Community College Measures of Effectiveness • Metrics for Developmental Education progress, two-year progress measures, and six year outcomes measures. • Metrics for Career Technical Education, Non-Credit workforce measures, Adult Basic Education/ABE • Student Learning Outcomes – Assessment plans, assessment resources, current assessment activities, evidence of student learning, and use of student learning evidence. • Additional level of transparency, consistency, comparability and meeting SACS requirements for institutional Effectiveness!
Future Issues and Questions • Name the general education course that all students who graduate from our college must take? • I noted this summer most colleges have a freshman reading list for incoming freshman. Why don’t we have that? • What can we do to increase the number of graduates in each area, certificate, diploma, associate degree programs? I would especially like for us to increase our associate degree graduates to 200 per year by Spring 2018. • We have a limited number of certifications that our students can earn in different areas of studies for my curriculum and continuing education. What can we do to increase the number of third party industry recognized certifications available for our students? • What can we do to increase retention and graduation rate at the institution. Our current retention rate is about 65% Fall to Fall and the latest IPEDS indicates that our 6 year graduation rate is 38%. How can we increase our retention rate to 75% and graduation rate to 52% by 2018?
