Performance Agreements In 1999, the Kansas legislature adopted
74-3202d Statute established performance
agreements for public higher education institutions
Performance Agreements Statute gave Regents authority to: review and approve agreements provide technical assistance to institutions
to develop, implement & revise agreements annually determine the amount of new
state funds awarded (if new state funds are allocated by the Legislature)
Foresight 2020 In 2010, the Kansas Board of Regents
adopted Foresight 2020 Ten year strategic plan Plan sets achievement goals that are
measurable, reportable, and ensures the state’s higher education system meets Kansans’ expectations
Foresight 2020 Goals Align Systems and Institutions Increase Participation Improve Retention and Graduation Rates Enhance Student Success Align with Kansas Workforce Needs Ensure State University Excellence
Aligning Performance Agreements and Foresight 2020
In February of 2012, the Regents adopted a new model that aligns performance agreements with Foresight 2020
Performance Agreement Model
Misconceptions About New Model
Performance agreement reporting IS NOT Foresight 2020 reporting
Institutions, not Regents, choose indicators and set targets
Model for Community Colleges and Technical Colleges
Four sector-specific indicators
Three institution-specific indicators
Model for Community Colleges & Technical Colleges
Sector-Specific Indicators were chosen by the community and technical colleges
1. Increase Distance Education 2. Increase Completion/Transfer 3. Increase Success in Initial College-
level Writing Course 4. Increase STEM Completion/Transfer
Model for Community Colleges & Technical Colleges
Institution-Specific Indicators develop three indicators specific to the
institution and which support Foresight 2020
Model for Universities
Sector-specific indicators (two required, third is optional)
Five institution-specific indicators (required)
Model for Universities
Sector-Specific Indicators were chosen by the universities
1. Increase Student Success/Student Learning 2. Increase Diversity 3. Increase Research/Entrepreneurship/
Commercialization 4. Increase STEM Graduates
Model for Universities
Sector-Specific Indicators Institutions will have two or three sector-
specific indicators Include at least one, and up to two,
indicators chosen from Indicators 1, 2 or 3 Indicator 4 is required
Model for Universities
Institution-Specific Indicators Universities required to develop five
indicators specific to the institution and which support Foresight 2020
one of the five indicators must address Foresight 2020 Goal 6
Getting Started
Use a team approach to draft agreement Though one person often writes the
agreement, input about the indicators should be broad-based
Create buy-in across campus Tailor indicators to fit institutional mission
and purpose

**Once form is completed, it must fit on one page***
Using Form
At top of the form, fill out institution name, contact person, contact name and email and date
Place cursor inside each gray box and begin typing
Indicators should be objective, quantifiable, and measurable
Using Form
Indicator 1 Increasing distance education Choose a specific distance education
indicator for institution Indicate which Foresight 2020 goal or
goals this indicator supports
Using Form
Fill out the three-year history section – include numerator and denominator if history is expressed as a percent
If there is not a history, put N/A
Using Form
Fill out targets for 2013, 2014 and 2015 Include numerator and denominator if
targets are expressed as a percent Targets should be expressed in a
percentage or numerical form Outcome section is for reporting on
performance so will be blank
Using Form Indicators involving students may be
disaggregate by sub-population Make sure chosen population is not too
small Institutions may disaggregate other
indicators as appropriate Follow the same process for the remaining
sector-specific indicators
Using Form Indicator 2 Increase Completion/Transfer
•Institution selects population or sub-population to measure •Institution decides whether to measure completion, transfer, or both
Using Form Indicator 3 Increase Success in Initial
College-Level Writing •Institution selects population or sub-population to measure •Institution selects measurement instrument and/or method
Using Form Indicator 4 Increase STEM Completion/
Transfer•Institution determines how to define STEM and what programs to include •Institution selects population or sub-population to measure •Institution decides whether to measure completion, transfer, or both
Using Form
Indicators 5, 6 and 7 The three institution-specific indicators
should support Foresight 2020 Indicators should support institution’s
mission in addition to supporting Foresight 2020

Using Form
Indicator 1 (required) Indicator must address the topic of student
success/learning, diversity or research/ commercialization/entrepreneurship
Within that framework, institution selects population, sub-population, program, topic or area, (etc.) to measure
Using Form
Indicate which Foresight 2020 goal or goals this indicator supports
Fill out the three-year history section – include numerator and denominator if history is expressed as a percent
If there is not a history, put N/A
Using Form

indicators
Using Form
Indicator 2 is optional If selected, indicator must address topic of
student success/learning, diversity or research/commercialization/ entrepreneurship
Topic chosen must differ from the topic chosen in Indicator 1
Using Form
If an institution does not choose indicator 2, Board staff will delete this section and renumber the indicators once the draft agreement is submitted
Using Form Indicator 3 Increase STEM Graduates
•Institution determines how to define STEM and what programs to include •Institution selects population or sub-population to measure •Indicator is required
Using Form
Indicator 4 is institution specific, but must address Foresight 2020 Goal 6 Indicators should support institution’s
mission in addition to supporting Foresight 2020 Goal 6
Indicator is required

Indicators 5, 6 7 and 8 are institution- specific
Indicators are required They should support Foresight 2020 Indicators should also support institution’s
mission
Developing Narrative
Using Narrative Template
Keep audience in mind• Regents• Trustees (technical & community colleges)• Legislators • Campus community members
Some may have limited knowledge of higher education
Using Narrative Template
Be clear and concise Limit to narrative for each indicator to one
paragraph Limit the total narrative to two pages Explain acronyms and avoid jargon Use 11 or 12 point font and ½ to 1 inch
margins
Using Narrative Template
Include the following elements in the narrative• Description of indicator, including the data
collected• Rationale for selecting indicator• How indicator will be accomplished
Tips on Narrative
Keep a notebook detailing how the data was collected, who collected it and what elements were included
This will ensure the same elements are included in the measurement from year to year
Common Questions
Common Questions
Q. Why are agreements on a three-year cycle?
A. The statute specifies that agreements must be renewed at least every three years
Common Questions
Q. Why are agreements on a calendar year instead of an academic year?
A. Using an academic year would cause a six month delay in an institution’s ability to access new funds
Comparison of Calendar vs. Academic Year
Calendar Year Reports due March 1 BAASC reviews in April
and May Board approval June Funding distributed in July
Academic Year Reports due September 1 BAASC reviews in October
and November Board approval December Funding distributed in January
Common Questions
Q. Can we pull data from KSPSD for the agreement?
A. KBOR is implementing a new Business Intelligence tool, which will be demonstrated at the June KBOR data conference. Full implementation is estimated in Spring or Summer of 2013.
Common Questions – 2yr sector only
Q. How do Perkins core indicators of performance relate to performance agreements?
A. Performance on Perkins core indicators affect the awarding of Perkins funding. Institutions are not required to incorporate Perkins core indicators into their performance agreements, but may choose to do so.
Common Questions – 2yr sector only
Q. How do Outcome Metrics relate to performance agreements?
A. The goal of outcome metrics is to determine program eligibility for tiered and nontiered state funding. Institutions are not required to incorporate outcome metrics into their performance agreements, but may choose to do so.
