Data Projections for Graduation Rates
Policy Analysis Framework for Assessments of
Essential Skills• Evaluation of our level of success
– Understanding of current graduation rate (baseline)
– Establish target– Clearly communicate progress toward
goal
• Factors impacting Success– Changes in adult behavior– Changes in student behavior
