Voluntary Framework of Accountability for Student Success November

Voluntary Framework of Accountability for Student Success November 10, 2020 Zoom

The Voluntary Framework of Accountability, created by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), expands traditional measures of student success to include more students, a longer timeframe to observe outcomes, completion at any institution, and several metrics that predict long term student success. Data are reported annually by participating community colleges.

Discussion

Next Steps

Considerations for Next Steps Access data for your college Identify additional key stakeholders and share data Reflect on previous interventions or key policy changes Collectively identify key issues or problems Agree on key issue on which to focus Reach out to peer institutions and MCCA to gather additional information Identify potential solutions Implement practices and policies to address key issues
