Complete College America, an organization dedicated to boosting college completion rates, released a new guidebook today that aims to help college leaders and state agencies better use data to measure and improve student outcomes.
The guide offers recommendations on choosing performance indicators to assess student success, finding relevant data and using data from the National Student Clearinghouse Postsecondary Data Partnership, a source of institutional student success data.
“Colleges today are awash in data about the student experience and outcomes, but merely collecting and analyzing data on student success isn’t enough. Ultimately, it’s about building and sustaining a culture of data and measurement,” Yolanda Watson-Spiva, president of Complete College America, said in a press release. “This report lays out practical tools and guidance for states and institutions to develop measurement systems that will help them identify areas for improvement and take collective action to support student success.”
