Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance-Based Funding has recently been adopted by the state of California. The state legislature and Community College Chancellor's office have adopted the Student-Centered Funding Formula as the state's mechanism for implementing performance funding in the state. Funding for community colleges is now based on new criteria and this study will look at 20 community colleges and how they have been affected by the Student-Centered Funding Formula. The study takes a mixed-method approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative information to examine the Student-Centered Funding Formula's effect on community colleges that are in predominately minority communities. The supposition in this case is that there is a negative effect on minority serving community colleges due to the implementation of Performance-Based Funding in California.

Book excerpt: California currently funds its public colleges on the basis of enrollment, a process that reinforces their commitment to college accessibility and ensures a relatively equitable distribution of per-student spending across institutions. A sluggish economy and state budget pressures, in addition to a national drive for market-driven education reform, has accelerated the discussion about the merits of performance-based funding (PBF), an alternative funding strategy, for public higher education. This qualitative study examined how 26 stakeholders of California Community Colleges, specifically administrators, and full-time faculty in leadership positions located within the San Diego and Imperial Counties, perceive the performance-based funding strategy. The results of the findings indicate that the stakeholders’ perception of PBF have been affected by their experience with two particular quasi-PBF models, California’s Partnership for Excellence and Student Success Initiatives. Their concerns of PBF involved having no control over variables; lowering of academic standards and gaming the system; and limiting access. Research participants provided recommendations to effectively overcome the obstacles encountered and minimize the unintended impacts produced by performance-based funding. This study contributes significantly to the existing literature and to policy since there are few studies done with regard to California Community Colleges and PBF. Findings of the study will assist policymakers in understanding the various ways that performance-based funding is being framed and provide an intelligent basis for discussion and judging conflicting ideas, proposals, and outcomes with regard to accountability in higher education.

Download or read book Performance-based Funding in Community Colleges written by Carina Dueñas and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance budgeting is an emerging practice in community college due to the scarcity of resources and an increase demand for institutional effectiveness. As the largest system in higher education, state legislators have increasingly tied budget allocations to success rates in the community college sector. This paper reviews existing research to determine the unique impacts and obstacles community colleges experience due to performance funding policies. This paper will also examine a case study to determine the success of performance based-funding as it relates to student retention and completion rates in community college. With a guiding question of: to what extent does new performance funding have on student outcomes and how does that translate to institutional changes?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this case study was to determine the impacts of performance-based funding on Canyon College, a California community college. State legislators in California have implemented a performance-based funding model for community colleges, and little is known as to the possible impacts of such funding for the nation's most extensive system of public higher education, the California community college system. The purpose of this study was to consolidate comprehensive information that would provide campus leaders a tool in streamlining their campus conversations and needed guidance to local governing boards to develop a sound set of policies to capitalize on this new funding reform. Specific actions taken by California community colleges as a result of performance-based funding and the campus-wide responses to these actions have yet to be consolidated and applied to local college campuses in California. The research derived through this case study defines these actions and the impact, if any, of stakeholder responses. Additionally, the research was intended to develop an understanding of the how Canyon College has implemented performance-based funding and what, if any, are the impacts on the campus from the implementation efforts. The collection of qualitative data was through interviews with Canyon College stakeholders as well as observations of college-wide meetings and the review of relevant literature and legislative impacts on higher education. This focus includes analysis of college-specific documents, interviews of persons deeply involved in performance-based funding reform at the college, and focus groups with individuals who had experienced firsthand the impact of such funding models at the local college level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than thirty years, The American Community College has been the go-to reference for faculty, administrators, trustees, state-level officials, and researchers concerned with the role of community colleges in the American educational system, the services they provide, and their effects on students and surrounding communities. Now in its sixth edition, The American Community College includes a new chapter on student outcomes and accountability; a case for reconceptualizing general education around critical thinking, civic engagement, and sustainable development; and an appendix examining the ascendant for-profit sector. The sixth edition also incorporates expanded analyses of recent trends within the community colleges, including vertical expansion; cross-sector collaboration; student and faculty characteristics; enrollment patterns; revenue generation and state allocation patterns, including performance-based funding; distance learning; and statewide efforts to improve transfer and articulation. In addition, the authors include a response to contemporary criticisms of the institution. Comprehensive in scope, the sixth edition of The American Community College is designed for anyone concerned with the role and purpose of community institutions in American higher education. The descriptions and analyses of each of the institution’s functions can be used by administrators who want to learn about practices that have proven successful at other colleges, curriculum planners involved in program revisions, faculty members seeking ideas for modifying their courses, students preparing for careers in community colleges, and trustees and officials concerned with college policies and student progress and outcomes. Each chapter of the book includes guiding questions for reflection and discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anticipate, manage, and overcome the complex issues facing community colleges Practical Leadership in Community Colleges offers a path forward through the challenges community colleges face every day. Through field observations, reports, news coverage, and interviews with leaders and policy makers, this book digs deep into the issues confronting college leaders and provides clear direction for managing through the storm. With close examination of both emerging trends and perennial problems, the discussion delves into issues brought about by changing demographics, federal and state mandates, public demand, economic cycles, student unrest, employee groups, trustees, college supporters, and more to provide practical guidance toward optimal outcomes for all stakeholders. Written by former presidents, including a past president of the American Association of Community Colleges, this book provides expert guidance on anticipating and managing the critical issues that affect the entire institution. Both authors serve as consultants, executive coaches, and advisors to top leaders, higher education institutions, and leadership development programs throughout the United States. Community colleges are facing increasingly complex issues from both without and within. Some can be avoided, others only mitigated—but all must be managed, and college leaders must be fully prepared or risk failing the students and the community. This book provides real-world guidance for current and emerging leaders and trustees seeking more effective management methods, with practical insight and expert perspective. Tackle the college completion challenge and performance-based funding initiatives Manage through economic cycles, declining support, and calls for accountability Delve into the issues of privatization and employee unionization Execute strategies to align institutional goals and mission Manage organizational change and new ways of thinking that are essential in today's competitive environment Manage issues involving diversity, inclusiveness, and equity Prepare adequately for campus emergencies Community colleges are the heartbeat of the nation's higher education system, and bear the tremendous responsibility of serving the needs of a vast and varied student body. Every day may bring new issues, but effective management allows institutions to rise to the challenge rather than falter under pressure. Practical Leadership in Community Colleges goes beyond theory to provide the practical guidance leadership needs to more effectively lead institutions to achieve results and serve the students and the community.

Book Synopsis Funding Community College Education Fairly? by : Christian Alexander Osmena

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the United States with more than 2 million students enrolled in 115 colleges. The system consists of 73 local community college districts, which are responsible for governance of the colleges. This dissertation examines the finances of those districts. Extensive research suggests educational inputs affect student outcomes, and recent reforms in California, such as a new state-administered Student Centered Funding Formula and the California College Promise, assume changes in community college finances will support educational improvement. However, little is known about how the districts' finances vary today. Using administrative data from the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO), I find that revenues and expenditures vary meaningfully across the system, exceeding standards of fairness drawn from prior literature. Further, although prior research suggests that low-income students require greater support to achieve similar outcomes, my analysis does not find evidence that districts who enroll higher proportions of these students receive greater revenues or incur greater expenditures the students may need. Finally, some districts, and even some receiving higher per-student revenues relative to other districts, appear to be facing challenges when indicators of financial health (i.e., deficits and fund balances) are measured. These results can inform state-level policy to better target the distribution of funds. They can also assist local leaders in setting priorities in their budgets.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report to the Legislature and Governor provides recommendations on the design of a workable structure for the annual evaluation of district-level performance for California Community College districts. Under contract with the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office, a six-member panel of the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges (RP Group) Center for Student Success (CSS) carried out a study to develop a set of performance frameworks, performance indicators and recommended approach to performance evaluation for discussion and review by an External Panel of Experts, a Statewide Oversight Committee of CA Community College Leaders, the Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst's Office in response to AB1417 (Pacheco) [Chapter 581, Statues of 2004], for eventual adoption by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges and submission to Legislature and the Governor of California. These recommendations are well-tailored to the uniquely varied educational needs and missions of the California Community Colleges. The recommended framework would provide valuable information not only to state policymakers, but also to local community college districts, which over time could contribute toward improved instruction and related programs for students. Implementation of this framework would require the enactment of authorizing legislation and a relatively modest augmentation of resources for the Chancellor's Office. Appendix A lists the members of the Research and Planning Group/Center for Student Success. Appendix B lists the members of the six-member External Panel reviewed the draft framework twice and provided comment and guidance in the project, and has given the proposal high marks. Appendix C lists the members of the Oversight Committee. Appendix D provides the performance reporting project proposed metrics.
