Leadership tracks student completion of the core curriculum as a key indicator of our students’
abilities to obtain an associate degree and/or to successfully transfer to a university. Performance
for all students who complete the core curriculum
●●
falls just below the target range by 0.80 percentage points
●●
represents a decrease of 118 core completers over 2009-10
●●
exceeds that of all 6 peers (see Figure 2.1.16A)
●●
represents a 30% DCCCD market share, a decline of 2 percentage points over 2009-10
due primarily to growth in completers by Peers 3 and 6 (See Figure 2.1.16B)
Performance for historically underserved students who complete the core curriculum
●●
falls below the target range by 4.9 percentage points
●●
represents a decline of decline of 57 core completers over 2009-10
●●
exceeds that of all 6 peers (see Figure 2.2.16A)
●●
represents a market share of 24%, a 2 percent decline over 2009-10 primarily due to
growth in core completers by Peers 2, 4, and 5 (See Figure 2.2.16B)
Leadership left the overall target intact for 2011-12 since it is unclear if or how the institution of a
new core curriculum may have affected overall core completion but raised the target for historically
underserved students to 650 based on Achieving the Dream initiative and the state’s Closing the
Gaps mandate.
*Strategic measures are those identified for special emphasis by college leadership, the DCCCD Board of Trustees, the state or national government, or
SACS accreditation agency. Operational measures are those key to the ongoing vitality of the organization but without strategic emphasis.
