ACCJC Guide to Evaluating and Improving Institutions What criteria and processes does the college use to determine its priorities and set minimum expectations (institution-set standards) for student achievement, including required expectations of performance for course completion, job placement rates, and licensure examination passage rates? (Federal Regulation) To what extent does the college achieve its standards? (Federal Regulation) How does the college use accreditation annual report data to assess performance against the institution-set standards? If an institution does not meet its own standards, what plans are developed and implemented to enable it to reach these standards? (Federal Regulation) http://www.accjc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Guide_to_Evaluating_and_Improving_Institutions_July_2015_REVISED.pdf

Methods for Setting and Using the Standards   Reasonable Appropriate Realistic

Proposed Method for Setting the Standards Review most current and historical performance (multi-year/longitudinal data disaggregated by ethnicity and other demographic characteristics as appropriate) Generate multi-year averages for performance (5-8 years) Determine performance indicators based on data analysis, institutional history and context (standards)  

Proposed Method for Using the Standards   Proposed Method for Using the Standards Develop a performance range and/or color coding (Trapp, 2013): Range =>5% Above Target-Excellent + or – 5% On Target-Good =<5% Below Target-Needs Attention

Dissect new standard that requires Institutional-Set Standards Proposed Steps for Reviewing/Revising and Updating Institutional-Set Standards Dissect new standard that requires Institutional-Set Standards Identify required areas Determine appropriate metrics Update/align with ACCJC definitions Collect and analyze data Update/reset minimum standards Propose recommendations and bring to Senior Management for discussion Follow participatory governance structure Publish and disseminate (e.g., post online, e-news, etc.)
