DEAN Pathways Data Framework
Data is a key tool for understanding and facilitating the implementation and impact of pathways across DEAN partners. The pathways data team, facilitated by DEAN, is collaborating to adopt and implement a feasible data framework that helps DEAN partners understand the impact of implementing a system-wide pathways strategy.
The Pathways Data Framework will provide decision-makers with the information they need to implement, improve, and understand the impact of pathways on high-value credential completion and workforce outcomes.
