In freshman orientation classes each 1st-year student will be required to complete an assignment designed to encourage the use of stepping blocks data. Based on an academic major of interest, students will research common jobs associated with the major as well as the job market and the salaries associated with these positions.
Evaluation Plan and measures: Project completion project in Orientation course
KPIs: Not yet defined
Baseline measure (for each KPI): new project no baseline
Current/most recent data (for each KPI): new project no recent data
Goal or targets (for each KPI): 80% project completion
With the leadership of Provost all departments have completed pages based on Stepping Blocks data for their units. Freshmen orientation courses have added a Stepping Blocks assignment to their class. The result is that 1st-year students who participated in drop in or scheduled appointments increased by 150% from the previous year.
We piloted the use of these pages in the Orientation course. The goal is to scale this project for the next year.
There are over 100 instructors for this class so training and communication will be essential. Please continue to support good access to stepping blocks data
