Later this summer, a National Center for Education Statistics’ research team is offering a free professional development opportunity on the use of the College Scorecard. See the note below and instructions on how to register from NCES!
The U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard is a free online tool to help students of all ages, families, educators, counselors, and other college access professionals make data-informed decisions when choosing a college or university to attend. Through an open and easy-to-use website, the Scorecard supports students on their pathway to college and future careers by increasing the transparency of information that will help them understand the benefits of a higher education, such as college costs, student debt, graduation rates, admissions test scores and acceptance rates, student body diversity, post-college earnings, and much more.
This session is designed for counselors, advisors, and other educators involved in training college access professionals. Participants will learn how to use the College Scorecard to support students and parents in making data-informed decisions about college attendance. The training includes a comprehensive toolkit tailored for professional development, equipping advisors with the necessary skills to effectively teach others how to utilize the College Scorecard.
Training will be offered online by College Scorecard experts. Click HERE to register for one of the following dates:
