What We Do
We connect evidence-based data with education stakeholders — students, faculty, administrators, policymakers, funders, and others — to support academic success and measurable improvements in education for all students. We focus on these three key areas:
- Data Use – Understanding data and using it to help students succeed.
- College Readiness and Success – Collaborating to analyze data, seek appropriate solutions and implement them well.
- Analytics/Research – IEBC systems capture and produce information that is useful, useable and actionable.
