For Policymakers

NCEA promotes the research value of student-linked longitudinal data and has used that data to benchmark a school’s performance level against higher performers and conduct qualitative studies on effective practice. “We are convinced that college readiness for all students is an achievable national goal” and invite policymakers to read our research and engage in the discussion about what we must change to attain that goal.
