Data-Driven Decisions at CR

This new page has been added to the Title III site to document and celebrate decisions at CR that are informed by data and research.  Workgroups and committees at all levels are encouraged to consider how they can use data and research to plan and evaluate programs, strategies, and activities.    Two recommendations from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) specifically refer to data-driven decision-making, and this weblink is intended to provide an opportunity for various CR groups to share information about how they have used data or intend to use data to drive their decision-making processes.  Decisions at CR, whether made or recommended by a small committee with limited focus, or by a decision-maker with broader responsibility, should:

• consider what data or research are already available that can help inform the decision;
• specify goals and measurable objectives; and
• indicate what research will be undertaken to help determine whether the outcomes meet the specified objectives. 

We Need You!  In order to provide a forum for members of the CR Community to share their decision-making processes with each other, Title III needs you to provide updates on your activities.  Whether you are redesigning a course packet based on data collected regarding student learning outcomes or are incorporating data and research into planning decisions made at the division or institutional-level, give Title III a chance to share your activities with your colleauges.  Please send a message to Karen-Nelson@redwoods.edu with examples you would like to share, or give Title III a call at (707) 476-4136 to discuss your ideas.
