17. The Landscape • What is your College already doing to address gaps in student equity? • What populations are being served? • What evidence exists to support the efficacy of the practices? • Of these, what can be scaled, modified or eliminated? • What new initiatives can be employed that have a research basis for improvement?

18. Considerations and Criteria • No BOUTIQUE practices • No small grants for innovation • Think big, start small • Not about restoring what was lost in the cuts • Must be able to go to scale • Must be researched-based • Must be able to implemented properly • Must be adequately resourced • Think systemically • Modest gains can be made with student services alone, Large gains can be made with instructional interventions and student services combined

19. Policies/Practices • Barrier removal • Eliminate late registration • First time in college strategies • Authentic orientation • Align HS and college coursework • Supplemental instruction • Summer boot camp • Purposeful mentoring • Focus on retention strategies • Learning communities at scale • Structured Academic Pathways

23. Monitor and Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Policy/Practice

24. Era of Accountability • What gets measured gets done • If you don’t measure results, you can’t tell success from failure • If you can’t see success, you can’t reward it • If you can’t reward success, you’re probably rewarding failure • If you can’t see success, you can’t learn from it • If you can’t recognize failure, you can’t correct it • If you can demonstrate results, you can gain support for the work • Adapted from: Reinventing Government, Osborne and Gaebler, 1992

25. Evaluation Steps • Develop data collection methods before the start of the intervention • Include both process and outcomes measures • Include the student voice • Decide what success would look like • Collect data often • Use the outcome data in both a formative and summative way
