  1. Minnesota’s Perspective on Standardizing the Postsecondary Nontraditional Performance Indicators:Connecting The Ideal to the Data and Making it Real Data Quality Institute Washington DC February 8-10, 2006 Pradeep Kotamraju, Ph.D.System Director, Perkins Federal GrantMinnesota State Colleges and Universities

  2. Why Standardization in Perkins • A Balanced Data and Accountability System Permits: • The developing of a common framework of measures • Moving beyond compliance and into continuous improvement • Research and evaluation • When Previously Unconnected Accountability Results are Linked: • To Make CTE Student Achievement Results Visible • Learning can be seen as a measure of accountability • Initiation of organizational and behavioral change • Alignment of multiple stakeholder interests

  3. Perkins Non-Traditional Measures: The Elements Under Discussion • Identifying Occupations as Non-Traditional • Data Sources for Identifying Non-Traditional Occupations • Updating Lists of Non-Traditional Occupations • Identifying Programs as Non-Traditional • Inclusion of Students (4P1) • Defining Completion • Inclusion of Students (4P2) • Reporting Completion Rates • Reporting: Cross-sectional or Longitudinal

  4. Perkins Non-Traditional Measures: The Elements Under Discussion • What are Non-TraditionalOccupations? • Coverage • Crosswalks • Currency • What are Non-TraditionalPrograms? • Coverage • Crosswalks • Currency

  5. Perkins Non-Traditional Measures: The Elements Under Discussion • Who is a Non-Traditional Student? • Participant vs. Concentrator • Under- vs. Over-represented non-traditional sub-populations • How is Non-Traditional Completion Defined and Reported? • Sequence of Unrelated CTE courses • Sequence of Related CTE courses (CTE approved programs) • Career Clusters or Pathways • Received Degree or Credential • Cross-sectional Cohorts (Current Practice) • Entry Cohorts • Exit Cohorts

  6. Perkins Standardization and Accountability: What Needs to Be Addressed? Suggestion: Have the Next Steps Working Group address the coverage, crosswalk and currency issues as they relate to the Perkins nontraditional indicators and provide to all states the basic frame of reference Suggestion: Have the Next Steps Working Group, along with the Career Clusters Committee of the State Directors, provide to all states the basic frame of reference regarding the 16 career clusters and the associated Cip Codes within each career cluster

  7. Implications and Further Developments • Local Plan Development • How will “Locals” Balance Standardization, the New Accountability Framework, and the Movement Towards Continuous Improvement • Extent of Technical Capability • How Ready are State Data Systems for the Standardization? • Move Towards Standardization • Does Consensus Mean Uniformity or Comparability?
