Leading Indicators Project Review & Discussion: Looking at Milestone Attainment and Degree Completion among the Freshman Cohorts 2003, 2004, 2005

Educational Trust “Leading Indicators” Provides framework for investigating and understanding variable student graduation rate outcomes specifically with respect to those student’s attainment of specified milestones within the 1 st academic year. The basic framework includes demographic breakouts by ethnicity, low- income status, and FT/PT status. 1 st Academic Year Milestones include: 1.Completion of 80% or more attempted credit hrs with C or better. 2.Completion of minimum 24 credit hrs 3.Attempt College Level Math 4.Complete College Level Math C or better 5.Attempt English Composition 6.Complete English Composition

Customizing the Leading Indicators Framework Localized ethnicity sub populations. Ascertained pell status from any enrolled term, not just 1 st Fall. Ascertained student milestone attainment looking across all system campuses and inclusive of summer semesters immediately prior and subsequent 1 st Fall. Ascertained 6 yr degree completion looking separately for 4 yr degrees earned from Hilo campus, UH system, & outside UH system. Based on existing research/insights…Worked with 5 additional variables within the cohort: gender, residency, any summer enrollment behaviors, any change of major behaviors (by change type direction & magnitude)

Key Findings: of 1,327 Freshmen, the percentage satisfying milestones within their 1 st academic year enrolled

Key Findings: Of those satisfying each milestone, the percent graduating within 6 years

Key Findings: Of those NOT satisfying each milestone, the percent graduating within 6 years

Key Findings: Of those satisfying all milestones in the 1 st year, the percent graduating within 6 years

Key Findings: Of those satisfying NO milestones in the 1 st year, the percent graduating within 6 years

Interventions:Interpretations Since Leading Indicators milestone attainment correlates favorably with graduation, And The Education Trust’s intention is to increase degree attainment among Low Income students and under-represented minorities… Action plan is that encouraging “good behaviors” through focused institutional interventions can improve milestone attainment and degree completion for Low Income and under-represented minorities specifically. Such interventions in turn, benefit overall institutional milestone attainment and graduation rates.

To Reframe the Challenge, How Might We: Reduce milestone attainment gaps between general (sub) population and Low Income and under-represented minority populations by half ? (A2S goal=Access to Success) Reduce degree attainment gaps between general (sub) population and Low Income and under-represented minority populations by half—institutional grad rates and/or overall ? (A2S goal=Access to Success) When… Low Income Hilo grad rate is 1.8% higher than general population & Overall grad rate is 3.4% lower. Also, their Hilo grad rate is 2.9% higher than Non Pell, & 5.4% lower overall. Under-represented minority Hilo grad rate is 5.6% lower than general population & Overall grad rate is 13.2% lower. Also, their Hilo grad rate is 11.8% lower than Non “URM”, & 25.2% lower overall.

Follow Through… Identify those sub population milestone and degree attainment gaps that most warrant direct attention Identify further institutional intervention strategies Identify further research questions needed for effective action
