Guided Pathways Early Momentum KPIs: Pathways 2.0 Initial Baseline Data Report

VFA Community College

College-wide reforms, like guided pathways, are complex endeavors that take many years to

implement fully. That means that colleges will not see expected improvements in student

completion rates for several years after the implementation of such reforms. Therefore,

colleges need indicators in the near term that they can examine to see if their reform efforts

are having a positive effect and are likely to improve student success over a longer term.

This report presents your college’s performance on “early momentum” key performance

indicators, or KPIs, based on the data submitted through the Voluntary Framework of

Accountability (VFA) data system. These metrics were chosen because they can be measured

over only one year and yet research suggests that they are leading indicators of increased

student completion over a longer term.1 In addition to the value of these one-year measures as

early indicators of progress toward longer term student success goals, tracking year-over-year

change in these early momentum KPIs can motivate colleges to implement practices that

effectively create the initial conditions required for subsequent success.

In the pages that follow we present trends in the following KPIs for cohorts of first-time-ever-in-

college students who started higher education at your college in the fall of the given year.

SAMPLE

1) Credit momentum KPIs: a) Earned 6+ college credits in 1st term b) Earned 12+ college credits in 1st term c) Earned 15+ college credits in year 1 d) Earned 24+ college credits in year 1 e) Earned 30+ college credits in year 1

2) Gateway math and English completion KPIs: a) Completed college math in year 1 b) Completed college English in year 1 c) Completed both college math and English in year 1

3) Persistence KPIs: a) Persisted from term 1 to term 2

4) College course completion KPI: a) College-level course completion rate in students’ first academic year

The cohorts tracked here include both full-time and part-time students but exclude students

who are current or previous high school dual enrollment students and excludes students who

began in the summer prior to the fall term. We believe that the experience of students with no

prior college experience at all is the best way to understand a college’s impact on student

success. However, we strongly encourage colleges to run these KPIs separately for dual

enrollment students and other cohorts as well. As you will see, the VFA has disaggregated these

KPIs by race/ethnicity, age and other factors, which will enable your college to see if there are

gaps in progression among different student groups.

As a benefit to using the VFA data system, all Pathway 2.0 colleges have access to all of the VFA

metrics, and VFA cohorts. These data are not presented in this report. However, colleges are

encouraged to explore their VFA medium and longer term outcomes data to broaden and

enhance understanding of early momentum (KPIs) data. VFA staff will be working with the

AACC Pathways team to help colleges access and use these data.
