Completion Imperative
1. Funding models with completion metrics
2. Uneven educational attainment and student success
3. Growing numbers of “at-risk” students
4. Community colleges no longer viewed as access-only

Transformation Means…
• HOLISTIC CHANGE: The key ways in which reforms differ from what we have done in the past
• INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE: Leadership, daily routines, skills and technology, reallocating existing resources
![Page 7: Keeping It All Straight: Lessons Learned from Aligning Multiple Completion Initiatives](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568165a7550346895dd88da6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Intentionally Designed
• CbD principles as overarching framework to align all completion activities (i.e., AtD)
• Framework emphasis on– “Institutionalize” Business Processes – Data/Reporting– Communications
• Still work to be done

Lessons Learned (so far…)• Do not underestimate campus engagement and
readiness for change• A shift toward completion in language and culture• Integrate completion into routine meetings and
structures• Balancing long-term return with short-term costs• Organizing around completion is not a quick
process

• Purposeful about including different internal stakeholders– Faculty and staff team leads focused on engagement
• Mindful about engaging varied individuals to avoid initiative fatigue
• Honest conversations and professional development around engagement– Targeted to specific audiences

Integrating Completion into Existing Structures• Build into reporting and planning structures– Division strategic plans– Department review
• Completion focus on routine meetings– Leadership meetings– Department chair meetings– Annual meetings
• Completion-focused goals for faculty and staff

Cadre-Wide Strategic Priorities
• Accelerating Students through Pathways
• Academic Program Redesign and Contextualization
• Integrated Student Services
• Institutional and State Policy

Lead Colleges• Each college campus assigned to lead the work on
clusters of strategies under all-cadre strategic priorities
• Example: LCCC:– Academic Program Redesign and contextualization (All Target
Populations• Robust Experiential Learning Opportunities/Enhanced Focus on
Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom.– Provide students more opportunities for hands-on learning in their field
through internships, co-ops, service leaning, job shadowing, clinicals, and job placements. Redesign programs with stackable and latticed credentials and track and monitor job placements.

Lead Colleges (continued)
• An all-cadre retreat brought faculty and staff from each of four campuses together for discussion with the lead campuses on progress-to-date.– Participants were assigned to one of four groups that align
with the four all-cadre strategic priorities.– Lead colleges schedule conference calls/webinars to
provide guidance and ensure progress is being made– Lead colleges complete the form, Status Check-in,
quarterly.

Status Check-In
• Each lead college submits status check-ins throughout implementation phase.
– For each strategy:1. Has the strategy changed since the proposal was written?
If so, how and why? 2. What is the current progress-to-date at the lead college as
well as the other Ohio cadre colleges?3. What are the next steps for this strategy, etc.?

Interactive Exercise1. Create a list of institutional and statewide student
success initiatives for your college
2. Map out these strategies along the Loss & Momentum Framework (using handout template) to see overlaps and gaps.
3. Begin to restructure the supports for these initiatives based on developed map
a) How will committees and work teams interact and support rather than duplicate efforts?

back to your campus to begin aligning your completion initiatives?
