- Equity as think-tank for interventions, on DI students -> to SSSP if taking to scale
- Exploration of role for TC childcare center
- Commitment to cohort/concierge models
- Avoiding jumping prematurely into “solutions” – temptation to (e.g.) hire a bunch of new counselors/advisors
- Funding with direct impact on students
- First year outcomes
- Upgrade servers, licenses; Cognos trained reporters; specialized training in Framework Manager to understand data packages; development of Cognos club; SQL Servers for extension datamarts; SSIS ETL training; special training in APR/DI
- Childcare – moving to voucher exploration – capacity and funding issues with direct child care
- APR reporting – in progress; replication of successful course completion (based on Governance Council priority) – have Cognos club members speak to their ability to now extend and develop APR with equity disaggregations
- DI reporting – version 1; anchored in successful course completion; version 2 a likely rewrite using new ability to create ‘minimarts’
- Staffing
- Classified position to manage administrative overhead of running mentor program and doing extensive ongoing professional development
- Pre-collegiate coordinator – 11-month faculty position dedicated to coordinating pre-collegiate across campus – equity funded for first year or two, but keeping commitment/focus on implementing with Equity and scaling with SSSP/AB86/BSI/etc.
- Data capacity
- As outlined above – moving quickly to develop minimarts
- Improvements to APR data model, data collection and distribution, automated email distribution of reports
- Ongoing training and mutual support for Cognos Club
- Equity Mentors
- Group discussion on what led us here, where we are at currently, where we’re headed with this
- Equity Plan v2
- Much more detailed and prescriptive template from state
- Exploring proportionality
- Alignment with SSSP around enrollment management – focus on equity data as we develop our comprehensive data model to support comprehensive program review (really comprehensive program “plan”), integration of ideas and direction with Strategic Planning Committee
- Agenda 9-30-2015
