3. Goal Setting Inclusiveness: Encourage Meaningful Dialogue
Connection to Planning: Department
Connection to Planning: College-wide
Connection to Planning: Initiative
Numerical Goals Considerations
Timelines to Support Meaningful Dialogue

4. COC Example: Inclusiveness: Encourage Meaningful Dialogue
Institutional Effectiveness and Inclusive Excellence Committee (IE)2
Discusses SSSP, Student Equity, Basic Skills, Institution-Set Standards and IEPI Indicators
Reviews Goals
Which indicators does the College want to focus on?
What initiatives can move the needle?
What is the historical trend?
How much will new initiatives move the needle?

5. COC Example: Inclusiveness: Encourage Meaningful Dialogue
President’s Advisory Council-Budget develops goals for Fiscal Indicators
Review and Input from Academic and Classified Senates
Multiple meetings to promote conversation
Send suggestions back to (IE)2
Discuss at College Planning Team
Present to Board of Trustees

6. COC Example: Connection to Planning: Department
Online Academic Program Review includes:
Course Completion Rate
Degrees
Certificates
Transfers
Currently Does Not Include Goals
Other data are added ad hoc (e.g., basic skills math and English progression)

7. COC Example: Connection to Planning: College-wide
Strategic and Master Plan Processes Begin with review of Institution-Set Standards and IEPI indicators.
Discuss goals with the College Planning Team on what is needed in the Strategic Plan and Master Plan to Achieve the Goals

8. COC Example: Connection to Planning: Initiatives
Process for connecting to other plans includes:
Review data in (IE)2 committee
Identified one outcome of focus in (IE)2 committee: Canyons Completes
Activities developed through (IE)2 support the following initiatives:
Student Equity
SSSP
Guided Pathways
California Assessment Initiative
Open Educational Resources
Adult Education Block Grant
California Career Pathways Trust Grant
Basic Skills Outcomes Transformation Grant
Strong California Workforce (formerly Doing What Matters)

9. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Audit Findings: None
Accreditation Status Reaffirmed
Full-Time Equivalent Students: Added 3 percent annually, matching enrollment management goals.
Fund Balance: Except balanced budget, but slightly decreasing fund balance percent due to denominator increasing.
Salary and Benefits: Expect percent to stay level.
Annual Operating Excess/Deficiency: Zero, expect balanced budget.

10. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Completion Rate Overall
Already in the top 10 so we didn’t expect to increase much but changes in placement and acceleration will result in some change
Increased slightly, from 56% to 58% (1 Year Goal)
Increased slightly, from 57% to 60% (6 Year Goal)
Completion Rate - Unprepared
Increased slightly, from 48% to 52% (1 Year Goal)
Increased slightly, from 50% to 55% (6 Year Goal)

11. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Completion Rate - Prepared
Already top three in the state and were satisfied with the rate (80%) so the Year 1 and Year 6 goals were set at the same performance level
Remedial Rate – Math
No change for 1-Year Goal
Increased slightly, from 42% to 45% (6 Year Goal)

12. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Remedial Rate – English
Acceleration and changes in placement will impact rates
Increased slightly, from 52% to 55% (1 Year Goal)
Increased slightly, from 52% to 60% (6 Year Goal)
Remedial Rate – ESL
Year 1 Goal (40%) and Year 6 Goal (42%) remained unchanged despite spike in rate (52%)
rate believed to be an anomaly
Changes in curriculum effective will likely impact rates
Rates expected to increase slightly over rate (39%)
CTE Rate
Increased slightly, from 44% (1 Year Goal) to 46% (6 Year Goal)

13. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Degree Completion
“Canyons Completes” focus resulted in substantial increase for goals
Increased slightly, from 1,359 in 2014/15 to 1,500 (1 Year Goal)
Increased 20% from 1-Year Goal to 6-Year Goal
Certificate Completion
Increased 37% from 2014/15 to 1-Year Goal
Increased 10% from 1-Year Goal to 6-Year Goal
CTE Rate
Increased slightly, from 45% to 46% (6 Year Goal)

14. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Action Plans Connected to Goals
Robust dialogue about choosing one outcome to focus on in : “Canyons Completes”
Developing plans supporting the “Canyons Completes” initiative such as
Establishing Student Success Teams
Establishing High Impact Practices (HIPS) Council
Defining “equity” at College of the Canyons
Providing professional development opportunities for equity minded practitioner training
Creating learning opportunities for faculty through the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL)

15. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Continued…
Developing plans supporting the “Canyons Completes” initiative such as
Developing a Year-Long Schedule
Revaluating existing programs and services to see what changes can be made in the context of Guided Pathways and Completion by Design
Exploring feasibility of a Promise Project
Including pre-enrollment, on-site orientation in the new FYE program in Fall 2017

16. COC Example: Considerations for Numerical Goals
Continued…
Developing plans supporting the “Canyons Completes” initiative such as
Revising the Completion Exit survey
Reinstating Faculty/Freshmen Unite
Implementing Two-Day on-campus orientation
Developing and Communicating Clear Pathways for Students drawing on plans developed through the Roadmap Project and Completion by Design
Update common inventory of activities supporting student success, including funding sources
Develop common solution form for potential projects

Dialogue at (IE)2: February and March
Presentation to Academic Senate: March and April
Presentation to Classified Senate: March and April
