Basic Skills Outcomes Capacity (BSOC)
2008-2009
A two-part study recommending measures for basic skills improvement and assessing the capacity of California community colleges to engage in evidence-based decision making.
The Basic Skills Outcomes Capacity (BSOC) project entailed two areas of work:
- A review and analysis of basic skills student outcomes measures in California and nationally. Based on this review, the project developed recommendations for a simple set of measures that can be used both system-wide and at the college level.
- An investigation of California community colleges’ capacities to use outcomes information for planning and improvement purposes. This evaluation provided the impetus for recommendations on strengthening the ability of colleges to engage in evidence-based decision making.
