From michelletaylor at jccc.edu Wed Nov 11 11:02:13 2015 From: michelletaylor at jccc.edu (Michelle Taylor) Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 17:02:13 +0000 Subject: [OKAIR] [NCCBP] Benchmark Project - 2016 Enrollment Open Message-ID: Colleagues, Membership for the 2016 National Community College Benchmark Project (NCCBP) is now open, the original and most comprehensive benchmarking tool for community colleges. The NCCBP collects and reports data on more than 150 community college benchmarks in the areas of * On-time, three-year and six-year Full-Time and Part-Time Student Completion and Transfer [cid:image002.jpg at 01D11BC8.2B5BF130] * Developmental and College-level Course Retention/Success * Student Satisfaction and Engagement * Student Services Staff Ratios * Student Market Penetration * Distance Learning Metrics * Workforce Education Effectiveness Measures and other measures of institutional effectiveness (see here for a complete list of benchmarks) Participants receive reports of both their individual institutional and national aggregate data, as well as the opportunity to select peer colleges and create benchmark comparisons on the project website and ongoing access to your institution's 2016 data in future years. Additionally, members are now able to create custom reports within the NCCBP which include percentile bar graphs, trend graphs, scatter plots and bubble charts. All charts can be customized with the benchmarks, the data years and the peer institutions to be presented. The NCCBP has worked with over 450 community colleges since 2004 and has a 10+ year track record of providing valuable benchmark data for the decision-making process. If you are new to the NCCBP, we are happy to schedule a demonstration of the website and the reports. For additional information, including enrollment forms and procedures, go to the project website: NCCBP.org. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to respond to this message. Michelle D.
