| Data Disaggregation & ACCJC Rubric | Dean Dr. Brenda Valles & Dr. Yuj Shumizu | Context: Telling our Data Story: ACCJC Data Dashboard Discussion https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E1SGReiThNZ4o3DdFNjZPnbQmh9iZMDFo9zXe4LbuZ0/edit?gid=0#gid=0 Proposals/Updates: RubricforEffectiveInstitutionalOutcomeTransparency.pdf https://surveygizmolibrary.s3.amazonaws.com/library/494184/RubricforEffectiveInstitutionalOutcomeTransparency.pdf Discussion/Questions: What does this disaggregation mean for ARC? What does transparency look like for ARC? How much of our story do we want to publicly share? How can we meaningfully tell the story, celebrate successes, highlight where we are and where we still need work? Refer to the rubric linked above to determine data accessibility, define context, and disaggregate. ARC Strategic Goal Metrics are notably student-first and tied to student success. In review of other colleges’ dashboards, their data stories are largely internally focused. Effective Institutional Outcome Transparency initiative is meant for students and their families to make informed decisions. Students and their families should be our target audience for the ARC data story. Are we talking about quantitative/qualitative data, or telling a story? We want to provide context for what the student can expect their experience might be. Use quotes, use personal stories (student feedback), more information so students and their families can make informed decisions. Our data story should show what we are doing, what we have not yet done, and what we should be doing. Balance complex data stories with speaking to students and their families in a meaningful way. FAQ format was suggested as a framework to present a narrative of disaggregated data to tell a story in an accessible and approachable way. Include progress in Beaver Bites to highlight to the campus community. Communicate what we are doing and how we can do better; practical steps to improve and make progress. It is helpful to get updates. Shift data story to inform different student groups like not yet enrolled, first-year students, transfer-eligible students, etc. Create a narrative model that highlights where the student is in their journey. Next steps/Decisions: Recommendation to move forward with a story that focuses on students and their families. Focus on what ARC has done, has not yet done, and what we want to do to support student success. Requesting feedback. Request input from ELT and other councils. Pull it together by February/March for the Annual report in April. |
