What We Do
We connect evidence-based data with education stakeholders — students, faculty, staff, 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.
- Caring Campus/Bright Spots – Coaching colleges on specific behaviors leading to student engagement and success.
- College Readiness and Success – Collaborating to analyze data, seek appropriate solutions and implement them well.
