1 P-20 in Action Michigan s Focus on Career and College Ready Students: Student Success through Collaborative Efforts Pk-20 Michigan Community College Association Student Success Applied Research Symposium April 10, Photo(s) are stock photos.

2 Overview 1. Brief overview of Michigan s P-20 initiative Where we ve been Where we re headed A new look 2. What s fair game? So much data, so many potential uses! Interesting uses of statewide data Some questions to consider 3. Priority Reports Using P-20 Data Thomas Howell, Director State of Michigan Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) (517) State Education Data Portal Site: OR

7 Michigan s Student Transitions Michigan Merit Curriculum & Promise Scholarship Study Measuring Charter School Success Stanford CREDO Study New postsecondary data connections Research partnerships to help measure the effectiveness of both policy and practice What are positive postsecondary outcomes for students in Michigan? Do these vary by institution type? How have student outcomes changed over time? How have outcomes been impacted by policy changes (i.e., the Michigan Merit Curriculum, scholarships, grants, funding)? What are the employment impacts given various educational inputs over time? 7

8 Report Priorities Enrollment and Credit Accumulation by High School Remedial Course Taking Needs by High School Enrollment and Credit Accumulation by IHE Community College Success Measures IHE Transfer Reports Student Progress Tracking Reports (High School Feedback) College Readiness Reports Student History Reports (aka Just give us all of the data on our students. Details to be agreed upon.) IHE Student Cohort Tracking 8

9 A note on research partnerships State partnerships with external researchers at IHEs can DRAMATICALLY increase research capacity for the SEA However like all relationships this takes a lot of work! A few challenges: Data is not researcher-ready out of the gate Creating longitudinal files for research.not super easy! Lots of special requests slow the overall process and consume more effort than anticipated Linking external data sources to the state issued unique identification codes (UICs) takes close coordination, data cleansing, and common understanding by partners Data connections across institutions and throughout the education pipeline can inform us about opportunities to improve student success. Follow-up action is necessary! 9

10 Career and College Ready in MI Michigan implemented new career- and college-ready cut scores for the school year. The proficient cut score are intended to track a student's readiness for challenging careers or college in the 11 th grade, and also measures "on track for proficiency" in the earlier grades 3-9. Gives schools, students and parents a more accurate picture of the preparation of their students for postsecondary endeavors. 10

11 What are the results? Reading proficiency rates: 61-69% (depending on grade) *Reading proficiency rates previously ranged from mid-80s to the 90s Math proficiency rates: 29-40% *Math proficiency rates previously ranged from 50-70% Science proficiency rates: 15-17% Social studies: 28% Writing: 45-47% Michigan has substantial improvements to make for all students to be on track for career- and college-readiness. 11

12 Michigan Consortium for Educational Research (MCER) Five year, $6 million partnership between the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, the Michigan Department of Education and the Center for Educational Performance and Information. Purpose: to study the Michigan Merit Curriculum and the Michigan Promise Scholarship Activities: Linking all of Michigan s K-12 data together longitudinally; produced the first longitudinally linked research file in Michigan. Tying K-12 data to postsecondary data (National Student Clearinghouse; Michigan-specific data). 12

13 Postsecondary Enrollment Percentage of ninth graders who graduate on-time and enroll in postsecondary education within four months of graduation from high school. Results for the 2008 cohort (with duplicates) 49% -- go to postsecondary education 29% --four year college 23% --two year college Only 6% go out of state 13

14 How are those rates different by demographics? More females enrolling than males (55% vs 44%) 10% of special education students 40% of limited English proficient students 35% of economically disadvantaged students Between 31% (Hispanics) and 68% (Asians) of the racial/ethnic groups 14

15 By student achievement? Quartiles of achievement scores in 11 th grade on MME What are the enrollment rates by quartile? (49%=average rate) Highest quartile: 86% 3 rd quartile: 73% 2 nd quartile: 53% Lowest quartile: 28% 15

16 Student Persistence in Postsecondary Education 2007 cohort statistics Defined as remaining in PSE on year after on-time graduation Average persistence rate (any postsecondary institution): 35% 16

17 Persistence by student achievement on MME? Average persistence rate: 35% Highest quartile: 72% Second quartile: 51% Third quartile: 33% Lowest quartile: 15% 17

18 Persistence by Demographics Females have higher persistence rates than males (39% vs. 30%) 5% of students with disabilities 28% limited English proficient students 21% economically disadvantaged students Between 56% (Asian) and 19% (Hispanic) students 18

19 Takeaways (so far) Michigan has more of a persistence problem than an enrollment problem We have significant challenges with our lowest achieving students suggests a stronger focus on achievement gaps (both in K-12 and beyond) 19
