40 The Texas Higher Education Strategic Plan 60x30TX founded on the critical need for an educated Texas workforce that is able to adapt to change and successfully compete in the global economy 60x30TX has four student centered goals, with the overarching goal that 60% of year olds will have a postsecondary credential or degree by 2030 Success rests heavily on collaboration and creativity among higher education, K 12 education, and the workforce

41 60x30 By 2030, at least 60 percent of Texans ages will have a postsecondary credential or degree. Achieving the 60x30 goal is critical for Texas to remain globally competitive and for its people and communities to prosper.

42 60x30 By 2030, at least 60 percent of Texans ages will have a postsecondary credential or degree. Strategies to achieve this goal include: Promote college attainment Develop college/career readiness standards Focus on teacher preparation and professional development Encourage stop outs to return, complete degree (Texas Affordable Baccalaureate)

43 COMPLETION Goal: By 2030, at least 550,000 students in that year will complete a certificate, associate, bachelor s, or master s from an institution of higher education in Texas. If reached, Texas will award a total of 6.4 million certificates or degrees during the 15 years of this plan.

44 COMPLETION Goal: By 2030, at least 550,000 students in that year will complete a certificate, associate, bachelor s, or master s from an institution of higher education in Texas. Strategies to achieve this goal include: Develop innovative approaches for content delivery (block scheduling) Encourage High Impact Practices (evidencebased teaching and learning) Increase use of predictive analytics to identify and assist at risk students

45 MARKETABLE SKILLS Goal: By 2030, all graduates from Texas public institutions of higher education will have completed programs with identified marketable skills. What is a marketable skill? Students exit from any degree program with a variety of skills. Marketable skills include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas, are valued by employers, and are primary or complementary to a major.

46 MARKETABLE SKILLS Goal: By 2030, all graduates from Texas public institutions of higher education will have completed programs with identified marketable skills. Strategies to achieve this goal include: Integrate marketable skills into curricula so that students can demonstrate and communicate those skills to future employers Enhance academic and career advising to help students with higher education to workforce transition

47 STUDENT DEBT Goal: By 2030, undergraduate student loan debt will not exceed 60 percent of first-year wages for graduates of Texas public institutions. Texas could experience greater shortages in important fields if student loan debt spikes to the point at which a majority of students choose programs based entirely on potential income.

48 STUDENT DEBT Goal: By 2030, undergraduate student loan debt will not exceed 60 percent of first-year wages for graduates of Texas public institutions.

49 STUDENT DEBT Goal: By 2030, undergraduate student loan debt will not exceed 60 percent of first-year wages for graduates of Texas public institutions.

54 Moving from Analysis to Action Step 2 Exploring the Data Look at the data. What do you see? What pops out or surprises you? What patterns or trends? Refrain from the why discussion.

57 Moving from Analysis to Action Step 3 Acting on the Data What are possible causes for where the data stand? What are some conclusions? Brainstorm at least 3 potential causes impacting the data. What other data or information would be useful? Then, based on causes, brainstorm multiple action steps or solutions. Three Potential Causes & Additional Data Cause 1 Cause 2 Cause 3 Additional Data

58 Moving from Analysis to Action Building Consensus Action/Strategy Facilitator leads group to consensus by asking them to agree to discuss one of the solutions or actions that could be expected to be the most successful with current resources (time, money, staffing, etc.) Then ask the measurement question: How will we know that this solution/action is achieving the expected outcome? Action Campus District Measurement Note you have county data

59 Moving from Analysis to Action Recap/Debrief How did the protocol and process work for the group? What are group members thinking and feeling about their roles and the outcomes of the process? How could the process be used in other groups and with other data? How does the new information inform or modify original assumptions? Feedback on Protocol & Process
