Central question: There is an abundance of data points available. How do we proceed to identify the critical indicators related to each goal area? How should we establish agreement on the data elements that are most meaningful in the cradle to career framework? 36

Goal: 4 Be PREPARED for school Be SUPPORTED inside and outside school SUCCEED academically ENROLL in some form of college GRADUATE and enter a career 37

What do we know about the numbers “enrolling in some form of college”? How do we identify the data points that are most likely to generate synergy across multiple organizations and school districts? How do we identify the data points most meaningful to strategic planning and communication? 38

Academic indicators are available. In other goal areas the data are much less concrete and/or scattered amongst a number of institutions, e.g.... – Students entering private and out-of-state colleges and universities. – Students entering industry-based training program not associated with an educational institution. – Community-based Organizations have a wealth of data on their particular area of focus. 39
