GRCC Data Team August 25, 2010 September 10, 2010
Purpose of the Data Team • To review student outcomes to determine those areas where the greatest achievement gaps exist • Role of the data team is NOT to determine what strategies we should consider to address achievement gaps • That will come later…….
GRCC Data Team to study…… …the number of students who. . . • Complete developmental courses • Succeed in the gatekeeper courses • Complete courses with a grade of “C” or better • Re-enroll from one semester to the next • Complete--earn certificates and degrees
Relationship to Other Campus Teams/Work • Strategic Planning (Strategic Leadership Team) • Achieving the Dream • AQIP • College Action Projects • Department Action Projects • AGC/Deans Council
ATD Framework • “Achieving the Dream is especially interested in low-income students and students of color because research shows that they are most at risk of not achieving success. At the same time, by improving outcomes for these students, colleges will be able to increase success rates for all students overall.” From the “Field Guide for Improving Student Success, 2009”
ATD Project Teams– October 2010 – March 2011 Data Team – Aug/Sept 2010 Ongoing……
Data for two audiences. . . • Simple, repetitive data that we all wish EVERYONE AT THE COLLEGE KNEW ALL OF THE TIME: • graduation rate? • Ethnic makeup of student population? • Percentage of students needing dev ed? • DETAILED DATA FOR THE DATA TEAM: • Retention data by segment groups • Graduation rate data by segment groups • Course level data by segment groups
Ten Things Everyone at GRCC Should Know • If we want all students who attend GRCC to be successful and accomplish their goals, it’s important that we know the “basics” about our students and how well they are currently doing. By joining together to create a culture of evidence, we can diagnose problem areas and create strategies to improve student results. Source: Institutional Research and Planning
Demographic Data/Outcome Data • Credit student headcount • Total number of unique students served in a calendar year • Ethnic makeup of student population • Gender makeup of student population • Age breakdown of students • Percent of students receiving financial aid • Fall to fall retention rate • Graduation rate • Percent of students needing developmental education (AFP) • Course success rate Source: Institutional Research and Planning
