Focus: Structure Elements of Change


“A strong economy begins with a strong, well-educated workforce.” ~ Bill Owens

52% of degree-seeking community college students complete a certificate, associate degree or transfer to a four-year university within six years

46.2% of students who begin one level below transfer-level math ever achieve a certificate, degree, or transfer preparation

25.5% of those entering four levels below transfer achieve these outcomes

“Access without success is an empty promise…and a missed opportunity with economic consequences.” ~ Stan Jones

Students who earn a California Community College degree or certificate nearly double their earnings within 3 years

Associate degree holders earn 33% more than those with a high school degree only

For associate degree holders, the unemployment rate is 30% lower than those with only a high school diploma


Department of Labor TAACCT Overview


Background: Building on previous partnerships

• Central Valley Region • Only California consortium to be funded• Nearly $20 for the Valley over 3 years• Focus on: Employer need. Ag/Manufacturing – All the trades that support

manufacturing and energy - Electrical, welding, mechanic

Health care – Psych Tech, LVN, LVN-to-RN upgrade, Psych Tech-to-RN, Sterile Processing/Multi-skilled Worker, and other allied health

Alternative Energy – Solar Technician, Hybrid Tech


Insanity: “Doing the same thing and expecting different results…”


“Opportunity may only knock once” ~ Proverbs

Organizations that have shown an interest in our work:Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationRockefeller Philanthropy Advisors 20 Million Minds – Academic Pub, ConnectionsJobs For the FutureMet Life Foundation

Regional Approach – State Model Aligning Curriculum

Open source or low-cost text developmentCommon AssessmentSharing best practices Achieving common goals


“…as a condition of the receipt of a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant (“Grant”), the Grantee will be required to license to the public (not including the Federal Government) all work created with the support of the grant (“Work”) under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (“License”).”


Open source and/low cost texts for students

This is a really big deal.Publicly funded

resources should be open educational resources.

Forward thinking requirement

Roles and Responsibilities

• “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”

~ Henry Ford


“Opportunity is missed by most people because it looks like work.” ~ Edison

CEO and College CommitmentRequest monthly status reportsApprove all expenditures

Assemble implementation teamParticipate in regional and local meetingsWork together within region

Engage employer partnersAdopting best practicesUsing good cohort data…this is key


Here is “the what” we said we would do…

Cerro Coso = Health COS = Health, Ag and ManufacturingFCC = Health CareTaft = ManufacturingReedley = Agriculture, Manufacturing, Welding LVN/RN, Bakersfield = Health Care

Porterville = Psych TechMerced = Health, Ag and ManufacturingSJ Delta = Psych TechWHCC = Health, Ag and ManufacturingWHCL = Health CareTOTAL = 3,069


Here are “the numbers”…

• FCC = 253• Taft = 210• Madera/Willow = 147• Reedley = 310• Bakersfield = 341• Porterville = 220

• Cerro Coso = 255• Merced = 244• SJ Delta = 225• COS = 269• WHCC = 285• WHCL = 310 TOTAL = 3,069


This is the “how” we said we would do the work…

West Hills- Overall Coordination of RED Teams• RED Teams = Faculty, Admin and employers• Reedley- Lead for Agriculture Manufacturing• Fresno City- Lead for Health Care• WHC Coalinga- Lead for Alternative Energy• Bakersfield- Academic and Basic Skills Embedding• Year 1 - Planning, curriculum redesign, open source,

change process as stated in SOW, cohort/individual data collection system development

• NO DOL funded students will be enrolled

Ensuring C6 Success

• Open Source Demo• Champions – Who needs to know? What support do we need?• Student Role? Is there a role for them in RED Teams?

• Collaboration

What inter-dependencies are there? *Strategies for collaboration

Purpose of Comparison Cohorts

• Allows for an analysis between the group that received something extra and the group that did not– Did the “something extra” make a difference?– Improves “internal validity”

• How valid an inference is about what caused something to happen– Without a comparison group, it is easy to make reasoning errors

about what “caused” something to happen.

37


Participant Cohorts: The Basics

• Each program of study that is funded by the grant should have its own participant cohort on which data are reported.

• The purpose of the participant cohorts are to track what happens to one group of students the remaining grant period of performance, as compared with a comparison cohort in the same field that is not affected by grant funds.

• All participants in the cohort will be tracked for reporting purposes through the end of the grant period.

• Data to be used possible changes in policy and practice

Final word on Metrics and Evaluation

Key Metrics: Success in Gateway Courses, Certificate attainment, Time to Completion, Change & Employment outcomes

Time, Not Student Learning is the Greatest Barrier to Success

Third-party subject matter experts review

Independent review of deliverables

Continuous Improvement is essential to our long term success


Year One Open Source & RED Team activities

Phase I: Planning w/ RED TeamsIdentify key faculty & industry partnersCoordinate meeting schedulesPlan for release time for facultyDetermine key performance milestones Establish a workflow model and schedule to reach milestonesMap out Comparison Cohort requirements Identify data collection system & processSimultaneously redesign curriculum & OS/textDevelop & plan integrated remediation delivery



Phase I: Open Source Planning w/ RED TeamsPlan content requirements for the new curriculum and integrated remediation contentDetermine key learning outcomes Establish a workflow model and schedule to reach milestonesDetermine the learning platform partner


Program of Study

• A program of study is broadly defined as an educational program in which a degree or certificate is granted.

• Grouping of some programs with similar educational material or occupational outlook may be allowed.– Example: College B is

planning to build or expand a program in Solar Photovoltaic Installation and a program in Wind Turbine Service Technician Training. Under some conditions, participants from each could be combined into one “renewable energy” program of study participant cohort.

48


Cohort Summary

• ETA is requiring a comparison cohort pilot study during Year • Each program of study should have its own participant cohort.• Programs of study may be combined (resulting in only one

participant cohort) if occupational outlook and/or educational requirements are similar.

• Combining programs may be a way to meet the matching requirements for a comparison cohort or avoid some of the problems with having an invalid comparison cohort.

• Comparison cohorts for the pilot study should be selected and reported on for each program of study based on expectations of who will enroll in each.

• In Year 2, the grantee will discontinue reporting on the test comparison cohort and report actual cohort data.

49



Phase II: Development Open Source Planning w/ RED Teams

Create project management schedules Develop content templates Coordinate internal/external peer review processManage draft process, including creating of art manuscript, securing photo permissions, copyediting etcDevelop key assessments around learning outcomes that will be imported into the learning platformsClass test learning platformsImplement list of analytical requirementsEstablish student portfolio requirements Handle the final production process to feed content into content repositories and learning platforms


Reasonable expenses for Year 1

Faculty release time, travel, mileage,Meeting expenses Clerical support for planning meetings Staff time for Comparison Cohort data collectionConsultant expense & staff time for planning of analytical requirements


Building Data Collection into our Existing Processes

Decide early (during the start-up phase) which staff members will be responsible for collecting each piece of information based upon their existing roles and relationships with students, how the information will be stored, and how it will be gathered for reporting purposes each year.Determine where Information is gathered and by whom to think through this processUnderstanding ETA’s TAACCCT performance measures is not merely a matter of knowing how they are calculated, but of understanding the factors in our program design that might affect calculations!


Timeline…

• February Follies – 2/15 = DOL Q1 Report due – 2/20-23 = DOL Training, Washington DC– 2/24 = CVHEC and via CCCConfer– DOL Team = RED Team, Faculty – Next Steps
