Better Data for Data Decisions: Complete College America, the Postsecondary Data Partnership, and the Relentless Pursuit of Student Success
Ansell, Charles
Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, v53 n5 p21-28 2021
Complete College America (CCA) is partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse in promoting the latter's Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP), a data and reporting tool for tracking student success metrics. The PDP is offered at nominal cost, built for democratized data access, and encompasses transfer data native to Clearinghouse products, allowing for unparalleled ability for cross-institutional tracking and benchmarking on common completion metrics. Analytic reporting describes the depths of the problem, proves productivity, and is foundational for any management capacity to move higher education outcomes more in line with our mission statements. Colleges need tools for tracking student success for more than meeting ever-mounting public pressure. Predictors of graduation, split on racial and other demographic lines, unearth inequities and investment needs, helping colleges and universities advocate for themselves, and thus for their students.
