Those performance gaps rarely come from one moment. They show up at specific breakpoints in the student journey: the first registration and course load decision, early momentum in gateway courses, access to support at the right time, repeating or withdrawing from key requirements, or losing time because the next required course isn’t available when life allows.
This session focuses on how leaders use disaggregated performance data to find exactly where a gap opens for a specific group of students. Panelists will share how they track outcomes through key milestones by student group, test a targeted change at the point where a gap appears, and confirm whether it actually narrowed – or simply moved somewhere else.
