Effectiveness Indicators for Institutional Assessment

1 Effectiveness Indicators for Institutional Assessment DRAFT 6/30/2005 Community College of Allegheny County

2 Introduction Performance indicators measure and communicate an institution s effectiveness in relation to its core values. The Office of Institutional Research and Planning reviewed performance indicator documents from community colleges around the country to investigate what was being reported and to determine best practices. The development of these indicators is an inclusive process. Oversight is provided by the Research and Development Sub-committee of College Council and the Academic and Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees. Performance indicators are an integral part of the college s strategic planning process (See Appendix A). They will be utilized during the formal review of the mission, vision and values statements, and as a baseline for assessing the results of strategic planning efforts. The college s mission, vision, values and goals were distilled into six categories and are the basis for the 44 measures found in the Effectiveness Indicators for Institutional Assessment document (See Appendix B). Appendix C is the production schedule for annual updates. The categories are: - Accessibility - Workforce & Economic Development - Inclusiveness - Stewardship - Student Success - Community Connections Each measure follows the same format and includes: - a heading (the category) - the measure (how we define what we are looking for) - a subheading (the mission, vision, value or goal being measured) - an observation (an interpretation of the data) - an indicator (what we are looking for) - a chart or graph (the data) Normative information and peer group comparisons are used as benchmarks when possible. Most measures use five years of data for trending purposes. Executive Summary

3 Summary Accessibility is our mission, and is defined many ways including affordability, distance traveled, and choice. Is the college affordable? Do the people who need financial aid receive assistance? Is there a campus within reasonable proximity? Do people utilize distance learning? Is CCAC the college of choice for our students? In general, the college is accessible. Our students report that CCAC is their college of choice, it is affordable, and 70% of our students travel 10 miles or less to get to school. Distance education enrollment is increasing on an annual basis. Twenty-six percent of our students receive financial aid; a 49% increase in the total number of recipients in the last five years. Inclusiveness measures diversity and demographics. Does the college reflect the demographic profile of the community? Does the college respect people as individuals? How do the students and employees feel about inclusiveness? Students are satisfied with the level of racial harmony at the college according to the 2002 student opinion survey. Students report satisfaction with concern for individuals, and employees report satisfaction with respect for individuals at the college. The demographic profile of the college is similar to Allegheny County s profile. CCAC ranks third in African-American enrollment among colleges in Pennsylvania. The majority of our students are traditional college age. The majority of continuing education students range in age from Student Success is at the heart of the mission, vision, values and goals. Do our students meet their goals? Does the college provide services to help students meet their goals? The college provides many services to help students achieve their goals, but students reported less satisfaction with support programs in 2002 than 1992; the number of students utilizing college services decreased in the same ten-year span. The Office of Supportive Services has experienced an increase in the number of students registered for assistance. Developmental students success in college level courses varies from year to year and English appears more successful than Math. Retention rates and credit accumulation have remained steady over the last four years. The number of certificates and degrees awarded are on the rise. In general, CCAC students report satisfaction with the quality of education. The Workforce category includes forming partnerships that foster economic development and providing career programs that met the needs of students and employers. How many students are in occupational programs? Are graduates prepared to enter the workforce? Do our students accomplish their personal goals? The number of students enrolled in apprenticeship programs peaked in and has been declining ever since. More than half of CCAC s students are enrolled in occupational programs. In general, students are satisfied with their program of study and most graduates report achieving their career related objectives. Enrollment in computer instruction is down and has been decreasing for the last three years. Executive Summary

4 Stewardship is defined as the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care. This category measures the effective use of resources. Do we maintain appropriate class sizes? Do our students agree? Does CCAC control costs? How do we compare to our peers? The average number of students per section is increasing; in fall 2003 there were more than 18 students per section. Students reported satisfaction with class size in the 2002 student opinion survey. When comparing FTE students to faculty ratios, CCAC has fewer students per teacher than any other school in the peer group. CCAC exceeds the peer group average for full-time students and part-time faculty. CCAC dedicates more money to instruction and has lower operating expenses than the peer group average. The Community Connections category attempts to answer the following questions. How does CCAC meet the changing needs of the community? Do we form partnerships with the community to achieve a better quality of life? CCAC does help meet the changing needs of the community through programs like dual enrollment and the Public Safety Institute. The number of high school students attending CCAC for college credit has increased by 80% in the last five years, and enrollment in Public Safety has increased by 70% during the same time period. CCAC s campuses are used by a variety of organization to achieve a better quality of life. The college raises money to offer programs that anticipate and fulfill the needs of the community. More that 80% of the fund raising dollars come from corporations and foundations. Executive Summary
