Abstract
"Martha Snyder: Setting a context for outcomes-based funding models" is a podcast interview with Martha Snyder, Senior Associate with HCM Strategists and author of Driving Better Outcomes: Typology and Principles to Inform Outcomes-Based Funding Models. Snyder provides an overview of outcomes-based funding, including its relationship to performance based funding and its differences with historic and enrollment based funding models. Additionally, Snyder addresses common concerns with outcomes-based funding such as its potentially negative impact on underserved populations and diminished quality of education. Noting the uniqueness of outcomes-based funding being focused on completion, Snyder emphasizes the importance of context as states consider and design these funding models and provides broad suggestions for effective funding models.
Interview facilitation, commentary and discussion presented by Kathryn Dodge, Alison Griffin, and Elise Scanlon of Radio Higher Ed.
