  3. The VFA has measures in 3 broad areas: • Student Progress and Outcomes (SPO) • Developmental Education Progress Measures • Two-Year Progress & Outcomes Measures • Six-Year Outcomes Measures • Career and Technical Education (CTE)  • Adult Basic Education (ABE)

  4. Cohorts Overview for SPO • VFA will report outcomes for two cohort years: • Six-Year Cohort: students who entered the institution six years ago • Two-Year Cohort: students who entered the institution two years ago • Each of these cohort years are broken into three cohort types: • Main VFA Cohort • Credential-Seeking Cohort • First Time In College Cohort Cohorts are disaggregated • ABE and CTE are separate cohorts

  5. SPO: Developmental Education Progress Measures • % of students referred that attempted their first math, English, or reading developmental education course • % of students referred that completed highest level math, English, or reading developmental education course • % of students referred that completed any college-level course in math or English • % of students referred that completed all developmental education

  6. SPO: Two-Year Progress & Outcomes Measures • % of credit hours successfully completed in the first term of the cohort • % of students who reached credit thresholds by end of year two (24=part-time; 42=full-time) • % of students who were retained from fall (term one) to their next academic term or completed a formal award • % of students who reached year two outcomes as follows: • Completed certificate or degree • Transferred to a 2-year or 4-year institution • Still enrolled at initial institution • % of credit hours successfully completed at end of year two

  7. SPO: Six-Year Outcomes Measures • % of students who earned a bachelors degree • % of students who earned an associates degree – without transfer • % of students who earned an associates degree – with transfer • % of students who earned an award of less than associates degree (certificate) – with transfer • % of students who earned an award of less than associatesdegree (certificate) – without transfer • % of students who transferred to another post-secondary institution, with no degree or certificate • % of students who were still enrolled during the sixth academic year • % of students who left institution without an award and without transfer having earned 30 or more semester credit hours (or equivalent) • % of students who left institution without an award and without transfer having earned less than 30 semester credit hours (or equivalent)

  8. SIX-YEAR OUTCOMES

  9. CTE and ABE/GED: Student Tracking and Cohorts • Outcomes that examine what happens upon leaving the institution • Workforce/CTE • ABE/GED • Completers/Leavers: who are these students?

  10. Career and Technical Education (CTE) • Enrollment (headcount = credit) (seat count = non-credit) • Enrollment with previous awards • Number of awards in CTE • Licensure exam passing rate • % of CTE students employed with a livable wage • Median wage growth of CTE students • Number of state/industry-recognized credentials • % non-credit students that transition to credit

  11. Adult Basic Education / GED • % of students who complete ABE / GED • % of ABE / GED students who enroll in more education • % of ABE / GED students who gain employment
