March 23, 2015: Strengthening Measures of College and Career Readiness and Success

This is the second of a two-part webinar series hosted jointly by the College and Career Readiness and Success Center at AIR (CCRS Center) and American Youth Policy Forum (AYPF) aiming to draw connections between the growing understanding of how states can more accurately measure college and career readiness and relevant state policy considerations.

The second webinar will discuss the progress of state longitudinal data systems and the governance structures developed to ensure proper use.  Our panel of national experts and state leaders will provide an overview of the successes and challenges of building cross-system longitudinal data systems and discuss the critical role that governance plays to ensure appropriate use and alleviate privacy concerns.
