Time: Concurrent Session 1, 2:00-3:00PM ET

Location: 2019 NCES STATS-DC Data Conference
Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill
Washington, DC

Description: Understanding how secondary and postsecondary programs affect education and workforce outcomes is crucial for states in deciding how best to meet the needs of underserved students. This is particularly true for Native American students, who have historically attained a postsecondary credential at lower rates than their peers. Join panelists from Colorado Department of Higher Education, REL Midwest conducting research in partnership with Minnesota Department of Education, and Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education to discuss how states have used data—and how they hope to use data in the future—to drive education success for Native students.

Audience: The STATS-DC conference is targeted toward those interested in CCD, data collection, data linking beyond K-12, data management, data privacy, data quality, data standards, data use (analytical), data use (instructional), fiscal data, and Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) and anyone interested in changes in how the U.S. Department of Education collects and uses data.

Speaker: Amy Feygin, Senior Researcher, REL Midwest
