  4. Outcomes are the building blocks or steps towards achieving a program’s goals. • Outcomes are specific and concise statements that state WHO will make WHAT change, by HOW MUCH, WHERE and by WHEN. Writing Operational Outcomes

  5. Placement rates • Licensure Pass rates • Completion rates • Survey results • Equipment needs • Personnel needs • Professional Development • Retention rates Types of Operational Outcomes

  6. Clearly state the issue, target group, the time and place Be Specific!

  7. Specific As a strategy for increasing retention rates, the retention team will provide supplemental instruction in math and English for first semester students. Unspecific • The retention rate will increase. Unspecific vs. Specific

  8. Be clear in the outcome about what will be CHANGED and by HOW MUCH. Be Measurable!

  9. Measurable By September 2014, the College’s overall retention rate will increase by 3%. Non-measurable • To raise awareness of the low retention rates. Measurable vs. Non-measurable

  10. Be realistic about what can achieve as it relates to the scale/scope of what is being done, the time and resources available. Be Achievable!

  11. Realistic When compared to the baseline, there will be a 3% increase in the number and percent of first generation students being retained annually. Unrealistic • The percent of first generation students being retained will be increased by 75% at the end of the year. Unrealistic vs. Realistic

  12. Outcomes need to RELATE to and be RELEVANT to the goals. Be Relevant!

  13. Relevant An analysis of the annual retention rate will demonstrate that at least 80% of the first generation students were enrolled the next semester. Not Relevant • 80% of the first generation students who received supplemental instruction will be successful. Not Relevant vs. Relevant

  14. Be clear about the timeframe in which the program/activities, as well as expected changes, will take place. Be Time Specific!

  15. Not Time Specific The College’s overall retention rate will increase. Time Specific • By September 2014, there will be a 3% increase in the College’s overall retention rate from the previous fall. Time Specific vs. Not Time Specific
