Contextualized Need for KPIs:From Macro Trends to Local Response

Clear National Challenges
Only
1/2 of all
undergraduates complete a
college degree in six years.
38% of all U.S.
students take a remedial course
in their first or second year.
More than
60% of jobs will require a
postsecondary education.
Students with a bachelor’s degree will
earn
40% more in their lifetime
(29% more with a community
college degree) than students with only high school
diplomas.
The U.S. is
9th in the world
in college attainment
for the 25-34 year old
population.

Findings:• Student characteristics are
changing• Part-time students struggle to
graduate• Many students take too many
credits• Poor students and students
of color struggle the most to graduate
• Remediation isn’t effective at helping students graduate

BRAINSTORM: CPS KPIs
Goal: Develop a list of college and career readiness KPIs that will inform YOUR DISTRICT’S progress (e.g. district, school, class/group, student and parent)
GROUP 1: Student Engagement and Non-Academic
GROUP 2: Academic
NOTE: Be sure to consider input, process, and output measures

PRIORITIZE: CPS KPIs
Goal: Refine the list of college and career readiness KPIs that will inform YOUR DISTRICT’S progress
GROUP 1: Student engagement and Non-Academic
GROUP 2: Academic
Process: Rank-order in terms of: perceived strength of indicator (i.e. validity). Think at the student level of success, not school level.

“We have not even begun to develop the college ratings system yet, and we are only in the beginning stages of soliciting input from a wide range of stakeholders about the metrics that should or should not be used in the ratings system…
No later than December of 2014, we’ll use the feedback we receive to finalize the college ratings system.” September 20, 2013, Secretary of Education, Arnie Duncan
