3. Background Scorecard: Accountability Framework
AB1417 in 2004
Accountability Reporting for Community Colleges (ARCC) was the basis from which the Scorecard was built.
4 Tiers of the Accountability Framework
State of the System
Access and completion across entire CCC system
Scorecard – core of the framework & focus of today’s presentation
Measures students’ progress and completion
Disaggregated by several student demographic categories
Data Mart 2.0 – online at the State Chancellor’s Website
Allows individuals to drill down further into the scorecard metrics
Data-on-Demand
Most detailed level for college researchers to download datasets pertaining to each scorecard metric.

4. Overview of Scorecard
Online Scorecard is easy to find and navigate -
College Profile – population in
Five Main Scorecard Metrics - grouped into 2 categories
Momentum Points
Remedial Progress Rate for Math, English and ESL
Persistence*
30 Units*
Completion Outcomes*
Degree, certificate, transfer, & transfer-prepared
Completion among Career Technical Education students
*Persistence, 30 Units, and Completion Outcomes have 2 sub-categories:
College Prepared: The student’s lowest course attempted in Math and/or English was college level
Unprepared for College: The student’s lowest course attempted in Math and/or English was remedial level
Denice
Remedial: Percentage of credit students tracked for six years through who first enrolled in a course below transfer level in English, mathematics, and/or ESL during and completed a college-level course in the same discipline.
Persistence: Percentage of degree, certificate and/or transfer-seeking students starting first time in tracked for six years through who enrolled in the first three consecutive terms.
30 Units: Percentage of degree, certificate and/or transfer-seeking students starting first time in tracked for six years through who achieved at least 30 units.
Degree/Transfer: Percentage of degree, certificate and/or transfer-seeking students starting first time in tracked for six years through who completed a degree, certificate or transfer-related outcomes.
CTE: Percentage of students completing more than eight units in courses classified as career technical education (or apprenticeship ) in a single discipline for the first time in tracked for six years through who completed a degree, certificate, apprenticeship or transfer-related outcomes.

5. Changes in the Scorecard since last year
Major Changes
Percent of First-Generation Student to College Profile
Based on the highest level of education of a student’s parent/guardian (at least one)
Denice
First Generation: First-Generation status is defined as a student for whom no parent or guardian has earned more than a high school diploma nor has any college experience. *Data reported varies widely on the - statewide rate is 28.1% & 35 colleges did not report data
CTE Metric – both colleges don’t have any apprenticeship courses
Scorecard
Major Changes
Revision to the CTE Metric
Apprenticeship students (SAM=A) now included in cohort
Completing an Apprenticeship (based on data matching) included in the outcome
Also took out students who were “transferred prepared” in the outcome metric (incorrectly included in past cohorts)

6. Changes in the Scorecard since last year Display of Cohorts Sizes (Ns)
Major Changes
Display of Cohorts Sizes (Ns)
Feedback was to more visibly include the size of the cohorts
Why are the Ns (cohort size) so small?
First-time students are about 32% of all enrollments
Student with SSNs – about 10% are missing valid SSNs
Course Taking Patterns looking at the first 3 years
Metric Profile
There is an additional tab on the online scorecard to show you the demographics of the cohort for each metric. It is in the same categories – college prepared, unprepared for college and overall.
Denice
CTE Metric – both colleges don’t have any apprenticeship courses
First Generation: data reported varies widely on the - statewide rate is 28.1% & 35 colleges did not report data

7. Overall Completion Rates for IVC, Saddleback and State

15. Performance Summary
IVC outperforms statewide average on 6 of 7 measures including Completion Rate
At 64% the Completion Rate is nearly 20 points above the state average
ESL remedial progress rate continues to improve, age is a major factor
English remedial progress rate appears to be responding to acceleration
Saddleback outperforms statewide average on 6 of 7 measures including Completion Rate
The Overall Completion Rate is 57.7%, which is 11 points higher than the state average
Remedial progress rate for ESL obscured by cohort size and age distribution; ESL students below the age of 20 have substantially higher progress rates
Craig and Nicole

16. Implications for Planning and Continuous Quality Improvement
The completion metric approved as a Strategic Plan Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
Ongoing monitoring and reports of progress will occur annually as part of the strategic planning implementation process
Each college is examining Scorecard metrics and identifying areas in need of improvement
Scorecard metrics are being used for Student Equity Planning
