  1. STEM Data Subcommittee December 13, 2013 Jennifer Jirous,, STEM Program Director Colorado Community College System Jennifer.jirous@cccs.edu

  2. Meeting Agenda • Recap of last meeting outcomes • Guiding Questions/Data source collection • Quality Data metrics • Quality Data Strategy Document • Updates: Overview of state-level STEM / Equity Roadmap • STEM Roadmap • NAPE Equity Project • Updates: STEM Data Collection – Where we are with Colorado occupation, education, and equity data • Large Group Activity: K-12 Data – What’s good? What’s missing? What can you add? • Small group activity: Defining STEM occupations/codes • Small group activity: Building a STEM regional map. • Discussion: The Quality Data Strategic Plan • Wrap-up/Next steps

  3. Meeting Goal/Objectives • Goal: Identify and discuss quality data sources and continue work on state-level data quality strategy to ensure that quality data is being used to inform STEM decision making at the state level. • Objective: Data Source Grid and draft Data Quality Strategy Document that would be used to guide STEM data collection. These include: • Identified sources of available quality data • Reasons for and definition of quality data • Data quality metrics (i.e. accuracy, validity, reliability, etc…) • A framework for management and accountability of quality data for the STEM level work.

  4. October Meeting Outcomes • Overall Purpose • Guiding Questions • Quality Data metrics • Quality Data Strategy Document Outcome: Common understanding of group progress to date

  5. Guiding Questions • Is the Colorado P-12 education system providing all students the STEM foundation they need to meet postsecondary and workforce requirements? • Are Colorado higher education institutions producing the STEM certificates, degrees and competencies needed to meet workforce demand? Are women and minorities equitably represented? • Does Colorado have a sufficient, equitable supply of quality STEM educators? • Do Colorado students have access to quality STEM experiences? • Is Colorado providing opportunities for its workforce to upgrade their skills to meet in-demand STEM skills? ? • What are successful STEM pathways for all (esp underrepresented) in Colorado • What is Colorado’s definition of STEM? ?

  6. Quality Data Metrics • Accuracy (solid collection/ self-reported) • Validity (measure what intended) • Reliability (stable/consistent collection methods) • Timeliness (historical / real-time) • Relevance (does it address a question) • Completeness (missing data) • Limitations • Data Source (reputable) • Ability to alignment to other sources • Ownership

  7. Quality Data Strategies(?) • Need: Colorado needs access to quality data in order to inform STEM decision making at a state and regional level. • How • Quality Data Metrics • Governance and leadership (who) • Policies (i.e. security, storage) • Systems and processes • People and skills • Data use and reporting

  8. State Level Updates • Updates: Overview of state-level STEM / Equity Roadmap (20 min) • STEM Roadmap • NAPE Equity Project • STEM Data Collection • Outcome: Knowledge of state-level STEM roadmap and NAPE Equity work

  9. Colorado Team Core Goals • During the 2013-14 school year: • Create a data-driven “sense of urgency” for CO stakeholders regarding gender equity in STEM (Collaborative Impact Framework - prerequisite). • Identify a team of “champions” for gender equity in STEM (Collaborative Impact Framework - prerequisite). • Embed equity principles into prioritized STEM initiatives • Identify four community colleges to implement the SEP 2.0 program in the Spring of 2014

  10. Colorado STEM Awards (all 2 yr Public)(preliminary figures reported by CDHE as of October 2013)

  11. Data Collection • Small Group Acitivty: K-12 Data– What’s good? What’s missing? (15 min) • Outcome: Documented data and origination source

  12. Equity Metrics • Large Group Discussion: What’s good? What’s missing? (15 min) • Outcome: Documented data and origination source

  13. STEM Degrees/Occupations • Small group activity: Defining STEM degrees/occupations (30 min) • Outcome: Framework for identifying different STEM definitions

  14. STEM Regions • Large group discussion: Defining STEM Regions (20 min) • Outcome: Identified STEM Regions • Small group activity: Building a STEM regional map. (20 min) • Outcome: Identified data to include in regional map

  15. Quality Data Strategies Plan • Discussion: The STEM Quality Data Strategic Plan (20 min) • Why? • What? • Who? • Outcome: Draft Quality Data Strategic Plan

  16. Wrap-Up/Next Steps • Final thoughts • Next Meeting Date Thank you for coming!!
