A comprehensive student success program requires
  • early assessment
  • early and sustained outreach and interventions informed by assessment data
  • evaluation of impact

At CECS we work with program directors and institutions to develop early assessment strategies and comprehensive and coordinated programs of outreach that are informed by assessment data.

  • Aggregate college readiness assessment data can be used to inform the development of new programs, as pre-test data for program evaluation, to track institutional trends over time, or to provide predictive models for institutional attrition..
     
  • Program, class, or group-level college readiness assessment data can be used to inform the development of specific programs, to guide instructors in the selection or deliver of specific course content, or as pre-test data for program evaluation.
     
  • Individual student-level data can be used to develop an early warning pool, to guide early and intrusive outreach or advising efforts, or to help students develop a personal success plan.
     

At CECS we have over 10 years of experience working with institutions to develop customized and locally viable student success programs based on early readiness assessment data.
