PERFORMANCE MEASURES

53. PERFORMANCE MEASURES Communication Power
Would the performance measure make sense to broad and diverse audiences?
Does it pass the “elevator speech” test? How easily could you explain it?
Does it give an accurate picture of where KCTCS is (or where we want to be)?

54. PERFORMANCE MEASURES Proxy Power
Does the performance measure say something important about KCTCS?
Can the measure stand in for other measures?
Is it the best of the group?
Are results for this performance measure likely to match the direction of other measures?

55. PERFORMANCE MEASURES Data Power
Is there reliable and consistent data for the measure?
Is the data available in a timely manner?
Is it easy to replicate?
Is data available at the college and system level?

56. PERFORMANCE MEASURES Actionable
Is it a vanity metric*? “Numbers or stats that look good on paper, but don’t really mean anything important.”
Can KCTCS affect the outcome of the performance measure?
Does KCTCS have (or is it likely to attain) the necessary resources to affect the outcome of the measure?

CCSSEs Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice:
Active and Collaborative Learning: Do students contribute to class discussions, make presentations, work on projects with other students?
Student Effort: Do students come to class prepared? How much time do students spend preparing for class?
Academic Challenge: Do students work hard to meet instructors expectations? Are students asked to apply what they have learned?
Student-Faculty Interaction: Do students discuss ideas with instructors outside of class? Do they receive prompt feedback on their performance?
Support for Learners: Does the college help students cope with non-academic responsibilities? Does the college encourage interaction among diverse students?

Median Pre-CTE wages are median 2nd quarter 20XX wages of the CTE Completer/Leaver Cohort with wages at or above $2,575 and who were not enrolled in education in the 4th quarter (one quarter prior to the post-departure UI quarter).
Median Post-Departure Wages – UI Wage data more than 6 quarters after last possible completion for the cohort (1st quarter 20XX) of the CTE Completer/Leaver Cohort with pre-CTE wages at or above $2,575 and who were not enrolled in education in the quarter prior to the UI quarter.
Calculation: (Median Post-Departure Wage (where greater than zero) – Median Pre-CTE wage)/Median Pre-CTE wage
Persons not included in the StudentTracker and/or UI matches were excluded as were persons with an 88/99 SSN
Example dates for cohort:
- Enrolled in education: StudentTracker – matched in the 4th quarter of 2014 (10/1/ /31/2014) and/or enrolled in KCTCS (non-CTE CIP) in Fall 2014 (4144)
- UI – pre-wage = 2nd quarter of 2010; post-wage = 1st quarter of 2015
Source: UI wage matches; KCTCS Unofficial Data as reported to Voluntary Framework Accountability (VFA)
Definition: Change in median wage of CTE completers and leavers from before their CTE experience and after their CTE experience.
