Data-driven decision-making is key to attaining the AtD project goals. Achieving the Dream colleges will use data on student outcomes to diagnose areas that need improvement, generate the institutional will for change, and assess the impact of the changes on students.

Data Notes is a monthly publication that examines data to illuminate the challenges facing Achieving the Dream colleges and to chart their progress over time. This will also be available on the Achieving the Dream web site.

Achieving the Dream Snapshot

As part of the Achieving the Dream initiative, Durham Tech is tracking entering Fall Semester groups (cohorts) of first-time curriculum students, who are registered either full time or part time. These students are enrolled in a certificate, diploma, or degree program (including developmental, wait list, and preparatory students).

Each cohort will be followed semester by semester for six years to determine key demographic, placement, persistence, and performance data. This information is part of the “culture of evidence” described by Data Facilitator Glenn Gabbard at the Fall 2004 Achieving the Dream Kickoff.
