Dashboards & Rubrics:Measuring Progress & Performance Dan Bradley July 20, 2011
Definitions • A rubric is an explicit set of criteria used for assessing a particular type of work or performance. • A dashboard is a user interface that, somewhat resembling an automobile's dashboard, organizes and presents information in a way that is easy to read. • A benchmark is a target. Often an intermediate measure used to judge success in achieving a larger, more complex goal.
Start Big • Mission • Vision • Values
Strategic Plan • Why? • Should have as its over-riding goal realization of the vision, meeting of the mission while living the values.
Macro Level • Vision • Strategic Plan • Strategic Benchmarks • Initiative Benchmarks Benchmarks draw a picture of what you want the future to be. They are what you would “see” if you were standing on a “hill” that is the goal OR “mountain” that is the vision
Macro Scale • Strategic Benchmarks • Need to be broad and as easily measured and communicated as possible • eg. • Total Enrollment • Freshman Retention
Operational Scale • Goals and Strategic Benchmarks need to be disaggregated (no flock shooting) • Strategic Goal • Total Enrollment XXXX • Initiative Goals • Transfer student enrollment • African American student enrollment • Out of state student enrollment Achieving initiative goals should, by design, more than ensure that strategic goals will be met.
Example • New Student Enrollment • Conditionally admitted Freshman • Unconditionally admitted Freshman • Corrections Education • International • Out-of-State • In-state • Transfer Students • Corrections Education • International • Out-of-State • In-state
Dashboards Why? • Stay focused on what is important • Facilitate intervention • Pinpoint specific measures not meeting expectations to be modified or replaced • Provide regular reports for campus and higher authorities • Celebrate Success!!
Dashboard Examples • ISU • Strategic • Initiative • Other
So What! In preparing your proposal, you must address: • Benchmarks both at the goal and initiative level • Dashboards that will report on progress Both you and the institution will need accurate measures on your progress and level of success
