Description: This professional development opportunity will provide participating high schools with custom profiles of their students’ college readiness, persistence, and attainment data, as well as structured activities to interpret and use the data to inform strategic planning for improved postsecondary outcomes for their students. The goal of the training series is to provide data to inform school staff conversations about how best to prepare their students for college and careers. REL Northeast & Islands researchers will work with school leadership teams to examine the profile data and use the information to determine priority areas for focused improvement, inform strategic planning, and access resources to improve postsecondary outcomes.
