Beyond Community College Accountability: Using Data to Investigate Best Practices for Institutional Improvement

The Voluntary Framework of Accountability (VFA) launched in 2011 is the first national system of community college accountability. Sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) in collaboration with the Association of Community College Trustees and the College Board, the VFA will shortly report to the public on measures of student progress and learning outcomes and on measures of workforce, economic, and community development. The author of this paper proposes that AACC move beyond community college accountability toward creating and sustaining, among college administrators, a common culture of VFA data use to investigate best practices for institutional improvement. To advance this proposition, the discourse presented centers on a proof-of-concept model. The study uses longitudinal data to illustrate its potential for community college administrators to identify best practices for improving institutional performance in first-year college retention.

试论唐代国子监在国家文化礼制建设中的作用

中国素有礼仪之邦的美誉,这与历代统治者重视文化礼制的建设工作是密不可分的。历代统治者所以重视文化礼制的建设工作,根本原因在于礼仪教化使得封建统治不再抽象,反而具体起来,具有可操作性,封建统治也变得容易起来。文化礼制属于儒家文化的范畴,它的建设复杂繁重而且浩大,要求参与的人员必须在儒学方面都是专家。在唐代,国子监的监官和学官在儒学方面都是博学之士,积极参与封建国家的文化礼制建设工作既是统治者对他们的要求,也是他们不可推卸的责任和义务。在当时,国子监的监官和学官们都自始至终地积极参与了封建国家的文化礼制建设工作,这些主要表现在以下几个方面：第一,积极参与礼法的讨论与制订;第二,积极参与封禅礼、禘袷礼、明堂礼、凶礼等具体礼仪的讨论与制订,在封建国家的文化礼制建设工作中发挥了重要的作用。
