The document discusses using data and technology to improve college access and student outcomes. It describes several college access programs that use data dashboards to track hundreds of students through college. The panel at SXSWedu will share strategies for developing robust data systems, concrete examples of how data has helped programs improve performance and serve more students, and best practices for implementing similar data-driven approaches.

data sources, and connect access programs, school
districts, and postsecondary institutions.
Identify key indicators of college access and success and
discuss how to disaggregate data to identify disparities in
program services and student performance.

4. Postsecondary completion rates are alarmingly low.
59% complete a 4-year degree within 6 years.
39% complete within 4 years.
This rates are worse for low-income students, first-
generation college-goers, and students of color, who also
enroll in college at far lower rates.
Postsecondary completion is a national policy focus with
implications for global competitiveness and social well-
being.
The Problem
5. College Forward, Degrees of Change, and I Know I Can
are some of hundreds of college access and success
programs that are part of the National College Access
Network.
These programs provide specialized early awareness
information, pre-college advising on admissions and
financial aid, and mentoring services that dramatically
raise college entrance and completion rates.
The Players
6. Drawing on data and technology, college access and
success programs can improve program
performance and serve more students.
As elsewhere in education, the thoughtful and
applied usage of data is changing the approach to
college access and success.
The Approach
7. The following are examples of the dashboards and
metrics employed by the panelists to track student
progress.
At SXSWedu, panelists will discuss how they
developed these systems and share best practices for
implementing similar systems and using this data to
improve student outcomes.
