12. P20 SC recommends the following criteria for selecting indicators 1.The indicator must be supported by research within the birth to career framework. 2.The indicator must be a valid measure of concepts outlined on the birth to career framework‘s Student Roadmap to Success, measuring student success from birth through post-secondary and into a career. 3.The indicator must be easily understandable to local stakeholders. 4.The indicator must be reasonably similar across jurisdictions. 12

13. Criteria continued... 13 5. The data underlying the indicator must be produced by a trusted source. 6. Priority is given to including indicators that are equivalent across jurisdictions and that have the ability to be compared within Multnomah County. 7. All or most of the indicators must be affordable to gather and report. 8.The data should be available consistently over time. 9.Each indicator should be useful in the day to day work of educators and organizations working to improve student outcomes.

14. Criteria continued... 10.Data must be disaggregated (or disaggregate able). 11.Although priority is given to using existing data sources, it is possible that consensus will emerge around the creation of new indicators and measures. 12. We should utilize data points that are most likely to generate synergy across multiple organizations. 13. The number of indicators for each goal area should be kept to a minimum for the sake of clarity and simplicity. 14

15. Action Does the Roundtable agree with these criteria? – If yes we will begin the process of selecting indicators for each of the 5 goal areas  Recommendations for design team(s)? (content experts) – If no, then... 15

16. Next steps  Initiate indicator design process  Attend national meeting in Cincinnati in February with P20 Partners  Prepare application for Living Cities/Knowledge Works funding  Continue to build a data framework of key indicators for approval  Create a process for community partners to discuss indicators and goals  Target publication of a community report by summer, 2010  Hire data manager  Begin design of community engagement process (pending resource availability)  Address governance 16
