“Unique [grant-affected] Participant”

• Any student enrolled in in a CHAMP associated class that has been impacted by CHAMP dollars since October 2013.– Examples include courses (online, hybrid or traditional)

that are directly influenced by CHAMP program dollars.– This could include a course created with the support of the

CHAMP grant, a course using CHAMP dollars to make additions or changes to the curriculum, or a course utilizing equipment purchased with CHAMP dollars.

– A list of CHAMP-affected courses can be found at https://www.cccs.edu/partnering-for-success/trade-adjustment-assistance/taa-champ/taa-champ-archive-documentation/ under the “CHAMP Degrees, Certificates and Courses” tab.

“Enrolled”

• Any student with a registration status that does not indicate a dropped course.

• Some IR personnel might use the course census date headcount; the annual CHAMP report includes all students with non-drop registration status. These numbers are similar, but not identical, due to differences in methodology (it is possible to drop a course after the census date in some cases).

“Course Eligibility”

• A course is CHAMP-affected if it has been redesigned with CHAMP dollars, uses equipment purchased with CHAMP dollars, or is otherwise affected by changes occurring due to CHAMP. A list of affected courses can A list of CHAMP-affected courses can be found at https://www.cccs.edu/partnering-for-success/trade-adjustment-assistance/taa-champ/taa-champ-archive-documentation/under the “CHAMP Degrees, Certificates and Courses” tab.

“Program Completer”

• The total number of unique participants who completed any grant-funded program to date.

• The student must complete all required courses as prescribed by the program to confer the degree or certificate. Clarification note: The student may complete any combination of traditional and redesigned courses in order to complete the degree requirement.

• Participants who complete should only be included once during the period of performance, even if they complete multiple programs.

Process for Counting CHAMP students

• Students taking grant-affected courses (as defined by the playbook in terms of course ID, campus location, and term) are identified.

• This population is tracked for course completion, retention, program completion, and employment.

• Program completions are only counted once the degree becomes grant-affected.

Purpose of Evaluation

• To describe the way a program works

– Logic models – cause and effect

• To assess the effectiveness of a program

– Comparisons – improvement over time

• To determine the impact of a program

– Return on Investment

Purpose of Reporting

• To describe the per-capita impact of funding

– Similar to return on investment, but causal relationships should not be assumed

– Correlation != Causation

Issues related to Reporting

• Tracking employment outcomes

• Identifying TAACCCT-eligible students

Issues related to Program Evaluation

• Earning Credits vs. Proving Proficiency

• Showing Cause and Effect

• Identifying what works and what doesn’t

• Are some programs more effective for some people than others?
