Vision:
• Improve the education pipeline, so ALL students succeed in post-secondary education to achieve living wage jobs for economic productivity.
What Do We Do?
• Provide intersegmental and actionable data to move the conversation towards learning what works for improving transitions along the education-to- workforce pipeline.
• Focus on success—using data to find the Bright Spots and Best Practices and tell the stories
• Help to convene the right people to have the right conversations with the right data
• On-going FREE support – funded and led by the CCC Chancellor’s Office
User-friendly website
Each segment has a menu of options from reports to data uploads
Aggregate, public data can be viewed by region or county
Each segment of the pipeline has critical momentum points in the student success continuum
Building the Pipeline
• Creating a shared pathway to college and career readiness
• Increasing college completion by reducing the need for remedial coursework and providing student support
• Aligning education programs with labor market demand
Regional Snapshots of Momentum Points
Each bar can be selected to give “Top 10s” for the particular category
Grade 11 Summative Math Report: Insight into College Readiness

This chart compares student “Proficiency” from CST testing with “College Readiness” determined by EAP testing = the disconnect
Publicly available data includes critical education points and assessments
Where Are Your Peers?
Here are your peers with similar demographics and factors but equal or greater results
“You” are here
Comparables lists dispel some of the “myths” about demographics and challenges
Discover on site: www.calpassplus.org
• Create a Cal-PASS Plus log in
• Log into the site and go to the pipeline reports
• Find your school or district in the publicly available information
– Find your school/district in a County report
– Find a comparable school/district close to you
Institution Specific Information: Transition Reports
Each segment has an option for “Helpful Reports” that includes the transition reports
Comparables lists dispel some of the “myths” about demographics and challenges
Filters allow users to select by district or institution, K-12 graduation year cohort, and the number of years transition time between K-12 and post-secondary
Transition Reports • Feeder Summary Report: Disaggregated information on which post-
secondary institutions students transition to after K-12 graduation • Feeder Summary with ELA/Math Remediation Reports: Disaggregated breakdown of students who enroll in remedial English or math courses once reaching post-secondary (this is compiled from first college course taken) • The Feeder Student Success Summary Report: Disaggregated breakdown of student attainment of milestones such as certificates, transfers, and/or degrees • The Feeder Student Success Summary with ELA or Math Remediation Report: Combines the Remediation and Student Success Summary reports for a longitudinal look at students

• Look up a transition report…
• See if you can find your school/ district/ or
feeder high school and how many
students completed an AA or Certificate
LaunchBoard The Program Snapshot gives post-secondary institution information with filtering capabilities and multiple search categories
LaunchBoard The Common Metrics are those indicators identified in the Community College Doing What Matters Framework
Discover on site: www.calpassplus.org
• Look up a Program Snapshot.. • See if you can find your Community College or the Community College into which your students feed • Find a pathway that aligns with your consortium and determine how many students take classes and how many achieve a certificate, credential, or degree
What’s at Stake The Good News • After years of declining funding, CTE programs have an opportunity to
rebuild
• Numerous overlapping efforts will help to strengthen pathways, regional cooperation, and industry alignment
The Concern • Because the funding is splintered, various grants may work at cross-
purposes on the very same problems One Solution • Use unified data collection and frequent conversations among
educators to align efforts across grants
Work In Progress What WE are Doing…
The LaunchBoard team, working in partnership with the Chancellor’s Office and CDE, is currently working to update and expand a crosswalk of codes, as a first step in identifying pathways
Grantees can leverage other cohort-
based mapping efforts that have been done through initiatives such as California Partnership Academies, Linked Learning, and Math Academies, or sector maps created for SB70 and TAACCCT
Data Currently Tracked through Cal-PASS
Plus includes: • Metric 1: Program participants • Metric 2: K-12 grades • Metric 4: K-12 graduates
• Metric 7: College participation (1 course, 2 courses, program completion)
• Metric 9: Transfer • Metric 10: Associate degree • Half of Metric 11: Job placement
What YOU are Doing… Grantees are responsible for reporting on ALL of the 12
program outcome measures. Data are collected annually, from 2014-15 through 2017-
18 and must be reported in August of each year Information on specific program outcome measures
can be pulled off the LaunchBoard to include in written reports
Before the K-12 Alignment tab can be populated, two reference documents must be created:
• Pathway maps (which programs, courses, and codes). • Definitions and related activities (work-based learning, third-party credentials, training) Additional Metrics-captured at individual institutions: • Metric 3: K-12 work-based learning • Metric 5: K-12 certificates • Metric 6: Dual enrollment/credit by exam (CATEMA option) • Metric 8: College work-based learning • Half of Metric 11: Training • Metric 12: Certifications
Cal-PASS Plus Support for CA Career Pathways Trust
• Data collection and reporting locally, regionally, and to CDE – FREE
• Analysis tools and support –CTE dashboards, consultation, best practices, guides and materials on data collection
• Collaboration networks – summits, webinars, and regional facilitation
• Custom reports as needed
• Most importantly – a connection to the only system of data in California that links student level records longitudinally, across segments and on to the workplace
Next Steps…
• Ensure your partners are members of Cal-PASS Plus
• Map your pathways
• Define your data elements
• Establish your data collection plan
• Assess your existing data
