Announcing

an update to

DataVista

The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office is announcing an update to DataVista, the new data and metrics platform tracking student achievement and outcomes across the system.

This update includes an expanded set of metrics, previously available in the Adult Education Pipeline in LaunchBoard, available in the metric themes view and single metric view for CAEP Adult Learners. For a complete list of new metrics and updates, please see the Announcement memo on DataVista

As a reminder, LaunchBoard is no longer being updated, and all new data will only be included on DataVista. Thank you for your support of DataVista and the work you do for California’s students. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or feedback at datavista.cccco.edu or via the DataVista contact form.

The much awaited; Three-Year template is ready for download. It provides a high-level outline of the required sections for the Three-Year Plan, including fillable text boxes and checklists aligned with NOVA. CAEP consortia can use this document to prepare content for submission into NOVA, which serves as the official approved plan.

The CAEP Newsletter will now be released twice a month, on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

If you would like to submit an item for consideration, please submit it no later than the Friday before the week of publication.

There is a Google form for submissions: https://bit.ly/CAEPNewsletter.
