Data on Demand: Background Willard Hom & Alice van Ommeren Chancellor’s Office, CCCO

Data on Demand: System Goals District-level program evaluation & improvement Promote local accountability Leveraging state’s data resources Improving data with usage

District-level program evaluation & improvement Scarce state-level funds for conducting local research Variation by district vs. one-size fits all path Empowers institutional researchers on campus (leverage local resources and build local capacity)

Promote local accountability Part of ARCC philosophy of local accountability Empowers district trustees and boards Respects community-specific interests Avoids political issue of imposing a single state model on different communities

Leveraging state’s data resources Efficiency in operations (avoid multiple data systems and data collection) Sunken costs (much of the costs are “pre-paid” so to speak)

Improving data with usage Data quality as an iterative process Data usage (an output) as a trigger and reminder

The “Flip Side” Standard data but not “standard analyses” State-level conclusions hard-to-get Coordination as obstacle to linking local efforts

Data on Demand Trainings Data-on-Demand (All Day) July 10th – Mount San Antonio – RP Group CCCCO Workshops that include DoD August 6th – Contra Costa District Office August 13th – North Orange District Office
