In order to make data-informed decisions, reporting systems should build, track, and report data related to early postsecondary programs. This data should be connected to a broader continuous improvement process to guide and support partners - at the district, school, institution, and even classroom level - in leveraging insights from the data to inform program design and ensure student success. For example, K-12 and higher education administrators can use data to refine course offerings; counselors can use it to encourage students to enroll; and educators can use it to intentionally design student supports.
